I felt this was way high for only a few days of pills.

Took the same scripts to Publix's at Colony Plaza. Cost was both for under $20.00

It may pay for all to check their prices. It sure worked for us!
That is concerning as I strongly suspect that both the pain killer and the stomach meds are available in generics....plus the issue of low quantities.....does not compute.
