Prescription Savings?

This is a pre-post.  Just letting you know my plan.

You see, I have 1 prescription that I take regularly, post-kidney stones, to hopefully prevent future kidney stones.   (No guarantees or promises on that, just fork over the money every month and keep your fingers crossed.)

Well, at my local drugstore, the prescription is $73, for 100 doses, and I take 1 or 2 doses a day, depending on what I am eating.  So it's somewhere between $0.73 and $1.46 a day, which really isn't so bad, so I never much questioned the price.

Recently, however, I read an article talking about "Cut Your Medical Bills Now" and how different stores have really different pricing on drugs (even if you can't get a "$4 generic" version), and not to overlook the mail-order programs your regular insurance might offer.   Then a few days later there was the article about how different stores offer different generics.

So then I got to thinking.... "If there IS a $4 version of this stuff and I'm paying $73, I am a moron."

So this week I will be taking the time to ask around and see how much this prescription would be at other pharmacies. . .

Stay tuned!
