Discounted Prescription Programs

To help individuals and families struggling with the rising costs of health care, many large pharmacies are offering reduced rates on generic prescription drugs. Here are a few I've found:

Walmart/Sam's Club/ Neighborhood Market Pharmacies:
The program is called the $4 Prescription Program. They offer to fill prescriptions for up to 350 generic medications at $4 for a 30 day supply or $10 for a 90-day supply. They also offer customers more than 1,000 OTC items priced at $4 or less without a prescription. Restrictions apply and the program is subject to change, so be sure to either visit Walmart online: Walmart Pharmacy or talk with your local Wal-Mart, Neighborhood Market or Sam’s Club pharmacist for more details.

Meijer Pharmacies:
They offer a few specific generic medications for free, regardless of insurance or co-pay. There is a 14 day supply maximum at normal oral dosages. They also recently launched a free pre-natal vitamin program, which features five leading brands of pre-natal vitamins. Restrictions apply and the program is subject to change, so be sure to see Meijer online: Meijer Pharmacy or talk with your local Meijer pharmacist for details.

Target Pharmacies:
They offer a $4 program for a large selection of generic medication. The $4 is for a 30-day supply. They also offer 90 day supply for $10. Restrictions apply and the program is subject to change, so be sure to visit Target website: Target Pharmacy or speak to your Target pharmacist for more details.

Kroger Pharmacies:
They offer a 30-day supply of more than 300 prescriptions for only $4, or get a 90-day supply for only $10. Restrictions apply and the program is subject to change, so be sure to visit Kroger online: Kroger Pharmacy or speak to your Kroger pharmacist for more details.
