$4 Prescriptions at Walmart

If you haven't heard yet - Walmart offers over 350 prescriptions for $4.00. I ended up taking Ryan to the walk in clinic yesterday morning at the pediatrician's office. Ryan woke up Tuesday night in A LOT of pain - his said his right ear hurt. When the nurse practitioner looked in his right ear - she said he was 100% correct; he had a HUGE infection in his ear... so she prescribed amoxicillin and sent us on our way. Usually they fax it to my pharmacy but this time she gave me a paper prescription and I remembered that Walmart had $4.00 prescriptions... so off we went to Walmart (we needed to do some shopping anyway) and dropped off the prescription... we did our shopping and 15 minutes later, the pink stuff was ready for pick up and only cost $4.00. I imagine with my insurance, it probably would have been a $10 copay as opposed to the $25 or $45 copays we often to have to pay but it was still a savings of $6.00 and you figure over this year, we'll have at least 10 of those equalling a total savings of at least $60.
