Safeway has made history as the first grocery store chain in Maryland to offer $4 generic prescription drugs. Now, consumers will have another option besides stores like Wal-mart, Target, and BJ’s Wholesale Club to buy prescription drugs at the $4 price. The $4 generic prescription drugs will begin being offered today. Over 300 of them will be $4. Though many consumers will surely appreciate the cost savings, how beneficial this is to individual consumers depends on whether the generic drugs they need are on the list.
