11. Insurance pays for most of it
Market forces also play a major part. If Prozac normally goes for $150, Walgreens just needs to price the generics right below it like around $130 for example to compete with it.

Even if costco sells it for 1/10th the price, they need to sell 10 perscriptions for each one Walgreen sells to make the same profit, and thats not factoring in the wholesale price of the drug. Moost people don't compare prices of persciption drugs between stores anyways, so they don't know whats going on.
