Kroger to Expand Discount Drug Program

Cincinnati Kroger Co. said Tuesday that its in-store pharmacies will expand their generic drug program starting Wednesday.

The move will enable the supermarket chain to offer many 90-day prescriptions for $10. Kroger’s pharmacies are also increasing the number of women’s health medications, and making them available for $9 in 30-day supplies, or $24 for a 90-day supply.

The new program augments Kroger’s original initiative introduced last fall that enables shoppers to purchase more than 300 generic drugs prescribed in 30-day supplies for $4.

The program is available across Kroger’s multiple banners, including Kroger, Baker's, City Market, Dillons, Food 4 Less, Fred Meyer, Fry's, Gerbes, Hilander, Jay C, King Soopers, Owen's, Pay Less, Ralphs, Scott's, Smith's and QFC stores.
