AREDS 2 Price Comparison

AREDS 2 is recommended supplement if macular degeneration is a concern. I've been buying Focus or PreserVision. I heard there was a generic, so I did a price/ingredient comparison.

No surprise, the generic comes out with the best price, with ingredients the same.

My niece picks up the generics for me at (I think) Walgreen's. They seem to be working, as my vision has not grown worse in the last year.
