Cheaper generics - "Attention Kmart Shoppers"

Discount chain Kmart is pushing its $5-per-month generic drug plan it has offered since May as it faces a new, less expensive offer from market leader Wal-Mart.

Wal-Mart's plan, which began in the Tampa Bay, Florida area on Friday, covers 291 drugs at $4 per prescription.

It was quickly matched by Target, the No. 2 U.S. discount retail chain.

But Kmart stood by its existing plan, which offers a 90-day supply of selected generic drugs for $15.

Kmart said its plan covers more than 185 medications and is expanding.

More.
