Cheap Generics Become a Necessity for Retailers – Giant Grocers jumps on the bandwagon

The plan with Giant is to offer a month supply for $9.99.  Giant stores are located in the Washington DC area.  BD 

The biggest grocer around Washington, D.C., just boarded the cheap generics bandwagon. Giant Food said yesterday that it’s selling a three-month supply of 350 generic drugs for $9.99. That’s one of the lowest prices yet.

Since Wal-Mart started charging $4 for a 30-day supply of generics a few years back, a bunch of other retailers (Target, Kroger, Ralphs and Safeway, to name a few) have followed suit.
