15. Terminating the program wouldn't be a reason for me to boycott Target or CVS.

They'd have to do something considerably more egregious than discontinue a program that was likely losing them money in the first place.

It would be a reason for me to go price shopping - I'm all about saving money - even when a store is silly enough to offer a below-cost item in the (mostly vain) hope that I'll spend more money on something else.

I'd buy at Target/CVS if the item was cheaper there - and elsewhere if it wasn't. We have prescriptions at 4 different locations partly for that reason. One is to support a mom & pop store (with limited hours) with our short term needs; one is a chain pharmacy with extended hours when mom & pop aren't open for our short-term needs; a third is for 90-day prescriptions (because we get two months for the price of 3 by mail order). The 4th is for one where the free/$4/$10 cash prices are lower than the insurance copays.
