Thanks to NAFTA..
I have purchased from Canada for years and save over 60% on Costco prices.
Incidentally, it's the Drug stores who charge the high prices for
pharmaceuticals marking them up many times over vendor net.
WALMART charges $2.00 for some drugs which upset many drugstores as it
exposes their price gouging.
I have many years ago negotiated prescription sales prices with the
pharmacist to get my repeat business saving at that time about 40%.
Walgreen drive thru drug store wanted to charge me $60.00 for a one pill
prescription and I drove to Costco and had the prescription filled for
$6.00....
Internet shopping will easily pay for your computer if you use it
properly.
