Walgreens vs Costco, You decide, I did !

This story all began when,
"Our home town drugstore" sold out to Walgreen's.
I have been trying to get my husbands prescriptions since they opened the first part of November.
Just a few things that have happened: They say that the insurance will not pay for another 2 days. I say, "He doesn't have insurance."
Another day they give us Vaginal Cream. I say "This is not for us."
They say, "OK we will keep it on the shelf for 10 days if you decide you want it."
I think to myself, "Oh, my."
Another day, they say, "Oh we can do it after 3:00PM."
It is 1:30PM, I walk around the store, go the the library, pick up a book on tape that is being held for me. The CD is the new Richard Paul Evans book "Grace"
Come home for awhile, do the things you have to do when you have just finished your Diet Pepsi, then decide to go back to Walgreen's. It is now 4:30, plenty of time right? Go wait in line and guess what? They tell me it's not ready.
Are you still with me?
Here comes the clincher, last night at 5:30 I call and they say, "Yes, we have two ready for him."
I am happy, and he will be also. (You know how we all like to make brownie points?)

They ring it up and say "$225.98." and that they need to see his insurance card, remember he doesn't have one?
I am passing out and say, "It was never this much at David's."They say,"Well, you were getting a good deal."
What's the saying, you don't know what you have until it's gone? Did I realize how good he was to us? Maybe not. Thanks, Dave.
I am trying to be tough and ask them if I could have generic, they tell me that is what they are.
By this time, I am thinking, "We should have tried that vaginal cream on his nose, it was only $12.00 and the RX was $170.99.
I go home,
talk to my husband and we decide I should take them back.
This time I try the cool Drive-thru window.
The girl whom I do not know, says, " Once it leaves the store, you can't bring it back, we can't put it back on the shelf, we will have to send it back to the drug company."
I am thinking, "Do I really care?"
She is getting annoyed at me, and finally she says, "We can take it back this ONE time as a courtesy."
She goes to get a manager, who happens to be my friend.
I think she has been told about the "Mean lady" at the window.
My friend has a funny look on her face when sees me. She says to me, Are you OK?"
"Not really" I say, "I just can't believe that it costs this much."
I am a little shaking, try to calm myself down, I tell her thanks and Goodnight.
I turn on the key, click,click,click.
I can't believe it, the van will not start, a little tear falls down my cheek.
Thank goodness for my Knight in shinning armour who comes to the rescue. (after all, remember who this stuff is for?)
He jumps me right there in the parking lot. (I mean the van)

OK, Hooray for Costco!!!!!

The RX that was $170.99 at Walgreen's - $30.21 at Costco
2ND RX that was $ 54.99 at Walgreen's - $14.88 at Costco

Walgreens $225.98
Costco $ 45.09

Difference $180.89

Well, what do you think?

True story, I have the reciepts to prove it, and, yes, I feel better!!
