College of Cash - finding money for college

This Feels Like a Moral Dilemma

February 12th 2008 21:44
...But maybe it isn't. I hate Wal-mart. I really think it is an evil empire, similar to the Yankees and the current Patriots.

However, at The Simple Dollar I was reading about the $4 perscriptions there. I just graduated recently, I don't have a full-time job, and that means no health insurance. A $4 perscription sounds amazing to me.

I've actually already gotten my doctor to call in my meds to the Wal-mart. It's bothering me because I hate Wal-mart so much, but right now I can't pay $32-$48 for some meds.


It feels like hypocrisy. Is saving money really worth it? Apparently, I've decided it is, for now. Hopefully it will change later. What do you think?

Yeah they do. Sometimes I wonder if they're all in cahoots with each other.

Look at it this way...

The $4 scripts are just to get you in the door to shop. They likely lose money on pharmacy alone. Just pick up your meds and walk out the door, and you have actually taken money away from them in stead of putting it in their pockets!
