I have saved some money by calling around to pharmacies and getting price quotes on different meds my family needs. It is common to have a very large price difference between pharmacies. In some states it is actually illegal for the pharmacist to voluntarily tell you that there may be a cheaper alternative to the drug you were prescribed.
Consumer Reports had a great article on this several months ago.
