Don't you just hate it when the companies try to start taking advantage of the little guy? Especially, when the little guy is you and me. Right now it is hard enough for most of us to make our monthly bill payments much less fork out a fortune of money for medicines.

The news about the whole Walgreens and Express Scripts fiasco had a bunch of us scared that we would be without our medications if they didn't come to an agreement. Well, they didn't. Since an agreement couldn't be made due to Express Scripts wanting to alter the already running contract, those customers that have enjoyed their Walgreens Pharmacy service using their Express Script plans would have need to go to other pharmacies. Which made a lot of people angry since they were being expected to pay higher costs, drive further, and not get that same top-notch customer service that they would receive from Walgreens.

The Prescription Savings Club at Walgreens was put together to help customers lower their costs when purchasing medications from their local Walgreens store. Well, now Walgreens is helping those Express Scripts customers that want to continue going to their favorite local Walgreens. They are doing this by giving everyone a discount. It will only be $5 a year for individuals, and $10 a year for a family membership. Included with this plan are some great benefits like the savings on more than 8,000 brand-name and generic medications, great savings on things like flu shots, diabetic supplies, and even pet prescriptions. Don't forget about those superb bonuses for using the photofinishing services or purchasing Walgreens products.

Get all the latest news, services, and discounts by liking Walgreens on Facebook and following Walgreens on Twitter just like I did.

What do you think about your local Walgreens? Does it make you feel better to know that there are companies out there that think about us and our wallets?
