Just called Costco, and their price for 90-day supply was $184 and

some odd cents (hard to understand the limited English). So Costco

does appear to be the best price on Lyrica. And if you can go to a

local Costco, you can avoid paying shipping. Also, I confirmed you

can use Costco pharmacy, both the local store, and their mail order

pharmacy, without having a Costco membership. Their phone number is
