Edit: Before I was skeptical as to how much Amazon could bring down costs, but it looks like there's enough variance among pharmacy chain pricing for generics[0]. That Amazon could make massive strides if it could offer all drugs near the lowest sale price.

Also look up Walmart's $4 for a months prescription for common generic medicines (or $10 for three months.) Its cheaper than a cup of coffee in many places. https://www.walmart.com/cp/4-dollar-presscriptions/1078664

Publix does $4 prescriptions as well.
