Woo Hoo! My grocery savings almost paid for my prescriptions!
I had to pick up the prescriptions so I made a quick grocery run - ice cream, salsa and a few other coupon items-only my magazine and the hand sanitizer didn't have a corresponding coupon. Tomorrow I'm making a "big shop" when I have time to take full advantage of their sales and specials. I'll let you know how I do on that shopping trip!
By the way, prior to the doctor appointment that resulted in the prescriptions, we printed off the Kroger $4 generic prescription list and asked if the doctor could prescribe one of them. He was able to do so for one of the prescriptions. If you don't ask, you won't know! Wal-Mart has a similar program, and I believe Target has started the same type of program. Why not print of the list from the store where you plan to have your prescription filled and take it with you to the doctor. I believe you can even search by type of drug so you don't have to take the whole list with you.
In our case, we were paying over $100/month for on-going prescriptions. We'll be able to spend less than $25/month by working with our doctors to switch us to the generics on the list. One of my doctors told me that a lot of the "older" drugs (that are past the patent period) are just as good as some of the newer, more popular ones.
