Are there any USA chain stores that post online prices of drugs?

How much do you pay for colestipol? I'm paying $79 for 120 tablets.

I read somewhere that Sam's Club or Costco (don't remember which) offer lower prices than a lot of places, and you don't have to have a membership in order to use their pharmacy. You just have to tell them you need to go to the pharmacy when you walk in. They may even have their prices online, though I haven't looked.

Another thought...could you ask your doctor to switch you to another cholesterol medicine that is on the $4 Walmart list. They have a couple on the list.

I assume we're talking 1000 mg pills? Looks like from Canada they are almost half that price.

You aren't by chance in Washington state are you?

I ask because WPDP is free to Washington residents, and colestipol appears to be a bit cheaper than what you're paying now--though Canadian is cheaper still.
