Generic Drugs
Costco also sells generic drugs and over-the-counter medications. If your household takes acetaminophen, allergy pills, or ibuprofen regularly, buying in bulk is the way to go. You will spend a fraction of the price and will likely go through the bottle before it expires.
Costco sells name-brand over-the-counter medications, and they also offer generic brands such as their popular Kirkland. For example, you can buy Kirkland Ibuprofen Tablets for seventeen dollars. You get two big bottles with five hundred tablets in each. It costs roughly $7.50 for two hundred ibuprofen tablets at Walmart.
