Consumers can score more than deep discounts on bulk items at Costco—they also can score the best savings on prescription drugs compared to other pharmacies.
According to new analysis by Consumer Reports, prescription drugs vary widely in price depending on where you shop. But some of the most popular prescription drugs that recently became available in generic form are sold at the lowest prices at Costco and at the highest prices at CVS Caremark.
For example, a month's supply of generic Lipitor, the anti-cholesterol drug, will set you back $17 at Costco, but $150 at CVS. For the antidepressant Lexapro, Consumer Reports found a month's supply available of the generic version at a cost of $7 at Costco and $126 at CVS.
