Albertson's LLC Launches $4.99 Prescription Discount Program Covering Over 500 Generic Drugs

Albertson's LLC announced its new Albertsons Rx-tra Savings prescription discount program recently, which will provide member households with discounts on all generic and brand name medications -- including up to a 30-day supply of over 500 generic drugs for only $4.99. The membership-based program will be offered in all of the company's in-store pharmacies.

Albertsons Rx-tra Savings program includes generic alternatives for some of the most commonly prescribed drugs used to treat disease states such as diabetes, asthma, depression, heart disease, thyroid and other health problems. Membership in the program is a one-time $10 fee which covers all members of the household -- with no restrictions on number of participants or prescriptions. And for a limited time, shoppers who register for the program will receive a $10 Albertsons gift certificate. People interested in joining Albertsons Rx-tra Savings can do so at any Albertsons pharmacy.

"We're thrilled to bring this program to Albertsons stores as a low-cost alternative for our pharmacy patients -- with our knowledgeable team of health experts to administer them in every store," explains Raymond McCall, Vice President of Pharmacy Operations for Albertson's LLC. "With over 500 prescription medications on our $4.99 formulary and additional discounts on many other medications, it's our hope that this program will benefit those who need it the most."

With the onset of the Albertsons Rx-tra Savings program, Albertsons pharmacies will discontinue its "Meet or Beat" prescription pricing program.

Albertson's LLC is working to become the favorite food and drug retailer in every market it serves. The company is privately owned and operates over 250 stores under the Albertsons banner in Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Louisiana, New Mexico, and Texas.
