Rite Aid - Rip off?
prescription - Complaint

ATLANTA, GEORGIA -- I am still trying to understand if this was a major rip off or a mistake by the pharmacist. Contacted Rite Aid and no response so far. I had a new prescription, the Rite Aid price for 3 months was $255. It was a life critical prescription so I gulped and paid the price. When the renewal time came up, I shopped around and found the same prescription at Costco for $25. Holy #!~@&!. My mind still won't get around this kind of price difference. Are they really that horrid? Since they won't reply, I will assume they are and bad mouth them everywhere I can find...

Did you speak up at the time you were paying for your first prescription? That would have been a good time to do so. Most Rite Aid pharmacy departments are more than willing to work with you, if they are aware of a problem up front.

Please make sure that the $25-version you found at Costco is the correct item - dosage and quantity. You might be surprised at how many variances of the same drug you can find, which, of course, affects the cost.

Is it a matter of brand v. generic? Go back to Rite Aid and ask. That's the quickest way to find out.

There are two choices. Personally I would want to get to the bottom of it by going and asking, but bad mouthing them everywhere you can is another option. Good luck.
