Today my Dad called me. After giving me the eyeroll when I told him I got a Costco membership again, he asked me to price hearing aid batteries. He had "heard" that they were less expensive at Costco. We're in SW Ontario Canada, so these were the prices.
At the local "Chain store" pharmacy - 40 batteries for approx $40
At Costco, - 30 batteries for $10.49.
I was shocked! Now I'm going to tell everyone I know! And the kicker is - you don't have to be a member to use their pharmacy!
I know I switched my prescriptions over because they would save me about $50/month, but now I'm sold!
No, I don't work for Costco. And when I was single, without child, I didn't find it a bargain. But life has changed, and so has my perspective. :thumbup:
