Thought that this meme might help some folks on the search of good drug
prices. The item is 30ct 500mg Amoxicillin (a standard antibiotic). 

Giant Eagle	~$7
Revco
Pharmor		~10
Rite-Aid	~16

This is in line with a couple of other prescriptions I've compared
prices on. Rite-Aid is a real ripoff. The Revco pharmacist gives you a
fairly informative laser-printed summary of your prescription, which I
thought was a nice touch. However, since you have to kill time waiting
for the prescription anyway, getting it filled at Giant Eagle (there you
can shop for groceries in the interim) is probably a good idea, and they
seem to have the best prices. 

Cheers

Clay
