Publix beats Walmart and Target with discount generic Rx list

For several years now, Publix has offered antibiotics and select other medications absolutely free of charge at its pharmacies. These include:

• Amoxicillin
• Ampicillin
• Penicillin VK
• Sulfamethoxazole/Trimethoprim (SMZ-TMP)

In addition to the free antibiotics, adults with diabetes or high blood pressure can also get a free 90-day supply of Lisinopril or amlodipine with a prescription.

But the regional grocery player has another for pharmacy customers that you’ll want to take note of.

You probably already know that a lot of other retailers have offers of a 30-day supply of select generics for $4 or a 90-day supply for $10. Well, Publix has lowered that price to only $7.50 for a 90-day supply.

That’s just $2.50 for a 30-day supply!

And while the list of generics being offered is smaller at Publix than at a Walmart or Target, if your medication is on the Publix list and the store is located near you, why not take advantage of the savings?

The following drugs are included in the new $7.50 Publix offer:

This offer is all the more surprising because Publix isn’t exactly known for its low prices on most grocery items.

What it is known for is an emphasis on customer service. It’s the kind of reputation that routinely puts Publix at or near the top of a wide range of customer-service tallies, including the American Customer Satisfaction Index and Market Force’s annual customer survey.

Publix has more than 1,200 stores spread throughout Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.
