Prescriptions at dollar store?

Higher-income people found their way into dollar stores as the recession came crashing down. Nowadays,it's the place to go for, well, dollar store things: party decorations, gift wrap, cheapo reading glasses, reasonably priced greeting cards.

But prescription drugs?

According to the Sun-Sentinelin Florida, a Deals store -- owned by Dollar Tree and described byacustomeras an "upper-class dollar store" -- openedwith a pharmacy earlier this year. "Deals partnered with PharmaGo, an independent pharmacy with corporate offices in Boca Raton, to run the prescription services inside the store," the newspaper says.
