They're selling those meds at a loss. They make up for it by hoping that you pick up your food, clothes, music, and toys while you are in there.
It is illegal to sell gasoline at a loss in Maryland. Even if Wal-Mart or any other retailer wanted to do it they couldn't.

I bowl overhand
Not the prices.
Walart can afford to sell you $4 meds, becasue they can still soak the insurance company for $150 for the same drug. IF you have insurance, Wal Mart is discounting maybe $6 on a $150 prescription?
Wal-Mart isn't losing money, they just aren't making as much as others.. of course they have a LOT of other profit potential in their store, they can afford to make only a 50% profit on prescriptions where a drugstore has to depend on 200% (for example)

I was told that they get the meds from other countries for cheap. Not sure it is true. However, i know the drug companies have the meds patented for 7 years after that they become over the counter. India, take the meds breaks the chemical components and makes the meds for way way cheap. I get my meds from Canada and the pills here in the US cost me 90 for 3 months. The same meds from Canada cost me $50.

Tis true, sir. I have a friend who is a devout WalMart Rx user because of the script saving factor. However, one of her hubby's meds and cat's meds aren't covered (say $200) and she'll "list shop" while she's waiting, she will also pick up unnecessary things and impulse items while being frustrated in both check out lines.

Target has the same deals, and much better service. We do a combination of methods, like Target, mail order, and finding OTC alternatives (Walitin for Claritin, generic Zantac instead of Nexium.)We have decent prescription coverage, but it's still a lot of $$$. I don't know how people without coverage can afford to stay alive.

I died about a month ago from lack of meds.
