That's a loaded question. Are you on a Med D plan or if under 65 do you have prescription insurance. With either one you will have preferred pharmacies were you should get lower priced meds but you can use any pharmacy.
Most pharmacies will have some type of discount program for genric drugs,, but not all drugs are available in generic. Also, if you have a Med D plan you may not be eligible for them.
Convenience wise Walgreens has the most pharmacies with over 9300 followed by CVS and Walmart. Also, Walgreens has an easy app for your smartphone that lets, you scan your medicine bottles and will send the, information to the nearest Walgreens to be filled.
One last point. Its best to keep all your meds with one pharmacy chain as they can easily keep track of what you are taking and ensure there will be no adverse effects. The last thing you will need is to have an adverse reaction to multiple meds and end up in the hospital because your pharmacist didn't know all of your drugs.
Yes, I am biased to Walgreens as I manage one and patient safety means more than saving a couple dollars on your medications.
Good luck, Merry Christmas and Happy Camping
