When they bought out Bartell's, I commented that I assumed they would intentionally run it into the ground. That appears to have been accurate.

Fuck Rite Aid.

GoodRx is realizing handy since you can use it pretty much anywhere. If you meds are available at https://costplusdrugs.com then it could be significantly cheaper there. They are mail order only and don’t take insurance but they are often an ORDER OF MAGNITUDE cheaper!!! I have a prescription that’s covered by insurance and it’s still cheaper to get it from coat plus without insurance.

Sadly, I don't do mail order drugs anymore after having had some very bad experiences with time-sensitive medications in the past.

Having thought on it some more, I strongly suspect that they bought Bartell Drugs (local to Seattle and the surrounding areas) specifically because the real estate was valuable. Close the store, sell the real estate.
