On the Freakonomics blog, Stephen Dubner looks at the pricing on generic drugs and finds that the main-street pharmacies mark up their offerings by [em]975 percent![/em] [blockquote] Even once you factor in the cost of buying a membership at Costco and Sam's Club, the price differences were astounding. Here are the prices he found at Houston stores for 90 tablets of generic Prozac: Walgreens: $117 [/p] Eckerd: $115 [/p] CVS: $115 [/p] Sam's Club: $15 [/p] Costco: $12 [/p] Those aren't typos. Walgreens charges $117 for a bottle of the same pills for which Costco charges $12.
