1. Prescriptions
The pharmacy prices are very competitive at this retailer. Senior shoppers are always in need of healthcare items, and with limited income, in the age of retirement it is important that they save more money on prescriptions, and Costco Pharmacy is the best place to avail savings.
Additionally, seniors can also enjoy the Costco Member Prescription Program, even if they are not covered by health insurance or their health insurance does not cover certain medications.
Costco provides senior shoppers by contributing huge savings on affluent health-related items such as hearing aids, eyeglasses, blood pressure monitors, and automatic defibrillators. Hence, as a walk-in pharmacy, Costco remains a practicable and cost-competitive opportunity for seniors.

It’s very enlightening that for senior citizens savings on prescriptions, hearing aids/batteries, vitamins and supplements are ok. But for me I would like to see savings on groceries, supply items, clothing’s, and appliances, etc. and make my day!
One thing COSTCO fails to remember (and THAT is the key word) is to stop changing the LOCATION of items.
MY FAVORITE MEMORY OF SHOPPING AT COSTCO…I stopped at Costco this afternoon to pick up a few things. I’m still wearing a back brace because of pain from back surgery and I use the handicap scooter that Costco provides. When I came out, an older man with a cane (I never use the word ‘elderly’) was waiting by the front door. He approached me, “May I have that scooter when you are finished with it?”
“Absolutely,” I said.
“I’ll help you load your groceries.”
“Great…let’s go…I’m very near. I was going to ask one of the Costco guys for help.”
He followed me and loaded all of my stuff into my SUV. When he was finished, he climbed on the scooter and headed back to Costco’s front door.
Costco shoppers are good people. We were both winners!
