Yeah, I end up still using their pharmacy because the pharmacist is just a great guy and he takes care of people. But the rest of the store can fuck right off.

If you have good insurance you might not notice this, but drug prices at Walgreens and CVS are significantly more expensive than many other pharmacies, like Walmart, Costco, or HEB. Compare prices on Goodrx.com and see

Truth.

More and more supermarkets are opening up pharmacies to compete. And in my town, private practices are now starting to also have a pharmacy.

I'm not supporting Walmart though.
