Kroger Offers Low Cost Generics

The grocery store chain Kroger has decided to offer low cost prescription drugs to its customers:

Kroger rolled out a program on Wednesday across the Southwest, including its 102 area stores with pharmacies, offering 30-day supplies of 300 generic medicines for $4. Generic versions of oral contraceptives Ortho Cyclen and Ortho Tri Cyclen, as well as one fertility drug, will cost $9.

Now Kroger will be more like Wal-mart and others in this highly competitive field of offering the lowest cost on prescription drugs.
