New Giant Pharmacy Program Offers Relief for Your Family and Your Wallet

   LANDOVER, Md., June 24 – Americans are experiencing
rising prices on many essentials, including the medications they need. In
fact, prescription drugs represent one of the fastest-growing medical
expenses. From 1990 to 2005, spending on prescription drugs increased from
$40.3 billion to $200.7 billion, according to a recent report published by
the Kaiser Family Foundation.

    To help, Giant is introducing a new way for families, seniors and
others to save on prescription medications. Giant Pharmacy’s new generic
drug program enables consumers to purchase 350 of the most commonly
prescribed generic medications for just $9.99 for up to a 90-day supply.

    “By taking advantage of our new generic drug program, families can save
more money on the medications they need,” said Andrea Astrachan, Consumer
Advisor for Giant Food. “They can also conveniently have prescriptions
filled while they do their grocery shopping, saving time and money.”

    Giant Pharmacy’s new generic drug program is effective beginning June
6, 2008. For more information, including a list of generic medications

    Giant customers also can save more on non-prescription medications with
new lower prices everyday on health and beauty care non-prescription items
at Giant. Last month Giant announced that it had lowered prices on more
than 5,000 health and beauty care items customers use every day. Astrachan
further commented, “We’ve listened to our customers, we know these are
products they use every day, and we’ve lowered our prices on these items so
they won’t have to go elsewhere to get a great deal.”
