I have been getting my sons medication from Walgreens for the last 1.5 years and my insurance has never wanted to give me a full months worth because of the cost. I assumed that medication was the same price regardless of where you get your prescription filled and that this would always be a problem. So I just decided to do some shopping to see if I could get the full dosage covered at a cheaper pharmacy. I was pretty surprised at the cost differences. I could get the same medication at Target for almost $400 cheaper. I figured that I would post my findings even though some of you are probably already on medicare.
