I've had a lot of success with Cost Plus Drug as well.

Be aware that Cost Plus Drug is also heavy on marketing. The few times I’ve checked it was not actually the cheapest cash-pay option.

They have cleverly, although transparently, applied the fee model to prescriptions. You see one price on their page, but when you get to checkout the total price inclusive of everything might be more expensive than your local Walmart.

Their marketing is incredibly effective, though. I can’t believe how many people think Cost Plus must be the cheapest option who are then shocked to discover the same prescription is $4 at their local Walmart.

It also takes 7-10 days to get your script from Cost Plus.
