Safeway Introduces Generic Drug Discounts - $4.00

The next retailer to add the $4.00 generic prescriptions to their pharmacy benefits. As soon as the website has a link to the names of the drugs covered, I will add it to the resource list on the site. It still pays to shop around and compare the drugs offered at each store. WalMart expanded its program to included 90 day supplies along with a few new drugs recently. BD

Safeway will begin offering $4 prescriptions on hundreds of generic drugs at stores in the eastern United States and parts of the Midwest, the latest supermarket chain to follow the trail blazed by Wal-Mart two years ago. The discounted prescriptions will be available at stores in the Chicago area, the District of Columbia, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware and New Jersey. The list of $4 drugs includes the antibiotic amoxicillin, blood pressure medication atenolol and levothyroxine for thyroid disease.
