Default Generic Lipitor
My wife uses Lipitor, and we get 90-day supplies through a nail order pharmacy. Her last order placed early this month cost $222.70 for the generic version you mentioned. The brand name Lipitor would have cost $409.21. These prices are from the drug price checker on the mail order pharmacy website.

Do a Google search on "Generic Lipitor," and check some of the articles that come up. It seems that some kinds of deals weree in the works between Pfizer and several other generic manufacturers. I don't fully understand what was/is going on. You might also see where you can get $4 co-pay cards for generic Lipitor. You might also talk about this with your pharmacist and see what programs they might be aware of.
