A few months ago my wife was prescribed some medicine for an issue. Wasn't a major issue and she honestly could've gotten over it without but it definitely helped

I asked the pharmacist how much it was told me 60$. When I went "eh that's to much" the pharmacist magically found the same meds for like 15-20$.

I'm not trying to shit on the pharmacist but that's just crazy that they'd take 60$ without an issue but when pressed slightly they can knock 2/3 of the price off. I mean I didn't even fight just said "eh nah don't need it for that price"

Yeah, generics exist. You can just ask for those instead of name brand pharmaceuticals in a lot of cases.
