What was that medication again?
Anything that turns a girl into a noseless, hairy sex beast with a rash and a third breast is something worth exploring.

I'm taking my $500+ per month business elsewhere. Fuck Albertsons.
Go to Costco. You don't even need to be a member for Pharmacy services.

Albertson's isn't interested in your prescription business. They are interested in the business from deadbeats on taxpayer funded plans who have no copay, and will still get their prescription for free while the taxpayers get stuck with the $500+/month bill.

I doubt that. Sounds like it was probably just some kind of mistake. I base that guess on the fact that it wasn't higher elsewhere. Hey mistakes happen.
Maybe they even read something wrong on the prescription, or did a phone check with the doctor and got wrong info back, on the dose or quantity or something. I would almost bet money, it was just a mistake. Not that you shouldn't say fuck Albertson's for making a mistake. But what if it was your doctor's office that made the mistake ?

Nope. This is the amount that Albertsons is charging for that medication. Their prices increased - probably new fiscal year. The pharmacy tech did attempt to explain to me that there must be a problem with my insurance, but it's actually their choice to charge substantially more for the same medication than they did last month - and than other stores do.

Although I do give you points for your guess, this medication was a refill and the store has been filling off that particular prescription for several months. There was no mistake, Albertsons raised their price - all the while touting its prescription discounts.

Look for me - I'll be the one with the flower in my tooth.

it's probably worth the trip as long as the tuna salad's expiration date is 5 days out minimum...
I went to Albertson's to fill my prescriptions and was pleasantly surprised to find that they increased the cost of one of my medications 700%.

Hey mistakes happen.
Yeah tell me about it, like Obama getting elected for all the wrong reasons.

I'd love to line them all up and do a running high five. But rather than slapping their hands as I ran by... perhaps they could just lean out a little with their hands behind their back?
I mean if it's not too much to ask...

I tried to send it to my sheep friends.... but they can't figure out how to use the internet.

Now, the obamahaters (you know who you are) are gonna blame this on the president, on the affordable healthcare act, and on the liberals. You're probably chomping at the bit, ready to tell me that the reason that my medications have increased to an amount I'm unable to pay is that it's my bleeding liberal heart that created such a system than would allow this to happen.
Well, that ain't what happened. I called three other pharmacies and found that they all charge the $17.00 (to be fair, one of them charged $20). My favorite part is that we're talking generic medications here, not some brand name fancy-assed medication that is currently running fancy ads extolling the virtues of the medication while telling me I might grow body hair, a third breast, experience an erection for more than 4 hours, or experience a rash from head to toe causing my nose to fall off.
It's a fucking generic that's been on the market for years and Albertsons has either arbitrarily chosen to increase my meds or has decided to buy a more expensive generic because their customer service is pretty much non-existent and they don't give a shit about their customers.
