Drug Store Pricing

I have to receive vitamin B injections quite on a regular basis. I have been getting my prescriptions at Wahlgreens at Warren and Madison.
I brought in my prescription for B-12. The prescription was written incorrectly for only 1ML which only covers one day. Cost - $11.99 (it's not covered under the great Bush prescription drug program without a huge fight with the provider). I paid the money and went to get my injection. The Eliza Jennings at Home people gave me my injection and the nurse practioner wrote a new prescription for a months worth and told me to take it to Giant Eagle. It was $4.00.
When I called Wahlgreens they said Giant Eagle has a special program and they have one too, but it's $20.00 to sign up.
Ummm no. I then cancelled the automatic refills for my other prescriptions at Wahlgreens and will be going to Giant Eagle.
Some real geniuses in marketing savvy at work here boy.
