Cheaper Prescription Drugs.
If you are like us, you do not have insurance. I recently was given a prescription for my allergies and even though I went generic, the cost was still killing me. That was when I found www.yourdrugcard.com. Just go there and enter your name and email addy. It will give you a card to bring to your nearest participating pharmacy and they will give you a pretty good discount on some prescriptions and, at the very least, a slight discount on others.

You can search for participating stores in your area. Mine had pages of stores! This card costs nothing so you really do not have anything to lose.

My prescription was around $75 but with the card it went down to about $17!!!!

Hope this helps someone.

2. Did you ever check either the on-line list of generic drugs
available at Walmart and Target? Both have the $4.00 program. I get one of my prescriptions with Walmart and it saves me a fortune. (no Target handy)

Good luck. Ill check your site for my other medication.

3. a tip about Rite-Aid:
-- I did some online checking before refilling a prescription. Rite-Aid's price was $9.99 for the generic, PLUS they currently have a coupon for a $20 gift card for a prescription transfer. This was a better deal than the $4 I'd pay at Target. I'd been wanting a new window fan, and fans are currently 25% off at Rite-Aid, so with the $20 gift card, I could walk out with a new fan to boot.

When the prescription was filled and I was pulling out my debit card, expecting $9.99, the lady said, "that will be $17.99." I said, "no, I checked online and Rite-Aid's price for this prescription, in this dosage, is $9.99." A little flurry of activity ensued. There was no computer in the store to check the Rite-Aid website, and the pharmacist was unable to get through to a manager at another, larger Rite-Aid in a nearby town. I said I'd come back after running some errands, to give her time to check it out.

When I returned, she had a fax of the web page with the prescription listed, and pointed out that, even though the Rite-Aid logo is at the top, it is a Drugs.com website and for mail order prescriptions. This is nowhere apparent on the Rite-Aid website. There is an ordinary link to "Pharmacy." BUT she said she was able to give me an even better price--only $4--"matching Wal-Mart" (I hadn't mentioned anything about Wal-Mart, this came entirely from her).

So with the $20 gift card for transferring, I MADE $16 on the deal!

If you have a Rite-Aid in your town, go online, get the prescription price, then "play dumb" when they quote you a higher price and insist that that is the Rite-Aid price as stated on their website. You can also try to insist that they "match Wal-Mart" if you are buying a generic. I can't guarantee that you will have such a positive experience--but the $20 gift card offer is available until some time in August.
