Walgreens is set to close a substantial number of its roughly 8,600 locations across the United States as the company looks to reset the struggling pharmaceutical chain’s business.
The company didn’t announce a specific number of store closures, but it said Thursday that it is planning “significant” closures of underperforming stores across America as part of a multiyear optimization program.
A while back I crunched the price per mg from a bunch of different sources of the same meds.
Walgreens was the most expensive by a huge margin. The best was Costco, also by a pretty large margin; the difference between the two was over 1000% in some cases, not exaggerating.
Don’t ever shop at Walgreens - they are a horrific ripoff.
Funnily enough I just had a chance to price check the two on Claritin. $30 for 30 doses at Walgreens, $40 for 118 at Costco.
And the generic brand at Costco was $32 for 300.
