My drugs are all on the cheap drug list at either Wally or Costco except the anti rejection drops for my borrowed cornea. Those vary widely at the same store, depending on generic supplier. Since I can get 4 months out of one little bottle, the upper price of $80 doesn't hurt that much. However, I've noticed a couple of other drugs bouncing around also as generics are snapped up by predatory "investors" like Shkreli.
