Convenient.
I have learned only recently that the price you pay for prescription drugs varies greatly. In the same zip code, in same city, from the store up the block or just across the street, prices can be significantly different.
So know this going in.
Also you should know that having a Rx filled here at Costco does NOT require a membership.
You can go online and peruse their list of meds and even determine the cost.
You will find that Costco can even fill your pets scrip. Word of advice; avoid some of those flea and tick meds cuz many have proven to be a hazard.
"The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning that medications in the isoxazoline class such as Bravecto, Credelio, Nexgard and Simparica may do more than just combat flea or tick infestations. These medications have the potential of causing seizures, ataxia, muscle tremors, or other neurological problems in your pets. Ataxia is a condition in which your pets can't control their muscle movements and thus may have trouble walking, balancing, or speaking. Of course, you may not necessarily be able to tell if your pet is having difficulty speaking. But the FDA warning means that you should be on the lookout for any struggles that your pet may be having after taking these medications."
Oh, and you can use online coupons to get a better discount (OR determine if you might want to pick up that Rx elsewhere), but I'm gonna leave that up to you to figure out cuz my years of lessons aren't gonna be given up like that.
And pay close attention here.
Hours of pharmacy are NOT the same as the warehouse.
They also have breaks at lunch.
No, their lunch schedule is not the same as yours. Plan accordingly.
Last thing, but this is important.
Staff is quite nice, helpful, patient, courteous.
So YOU BE NICE and dont make their day any longer than it already is gonna be today.
Why four instead of five stars?
It's Costco. There are lines... at the prescription drop off window... at the prescription pick up window.
And those dang lines they've painted on the floor to designate "personal space" .
UGH! Can we just be adults, get past the PC schtuff already?! read more
