Pharmacies in the United States are absolutely shit right now. CVS is dominating the market by having captured one of the largest insurance providers, and by literally buying out all of the competition. What’s left of Walgreens is now so poorly staffed and has such poor service that the folks working in the pharmacy are openly belligerent to patients.

I fucking hate this timeline.

@manchicken I know Kroger is a shit company, but its pharmacy works (at least in my area) to provide the lowest price for prescriptions, even outside of insurance. I've kept with them even though insurance doesn't support them, and only go to CVS if I have to (usually expensive, non-generics).

@manchicken Exactly! I have Cigna and a HDHP(pay full cost of drugs till deductable) and Kroger has been cheaper than using CVS. In fact, the HDHP only looked like a good option because of this. YMMV, check first, but I believe they use things like GoodRX to get their prices. Don't ask me how.
