Cheaper prescription prices

Tink · 05-29-2007, 02:18 PM

Just in case I'm not the last person to become aware of this...

I' have just started ordering my prescriptions through costco.com because they're by FAR the best prices for long term meds. If bought through my local small-town pharmacy,. my meds are over $400 a month. I actually quit taking meds for my allergies and arthritis because those brought it up to over $500 a month and those I can live without.

By ordering through costco my meds are less than $120 a month! I don't have to be a member (there are NONE near my home) to order prescriptions and shipping is free! I wish I'd have known about this YEARS ago!

I want to share this just in case anyone else might benefit by knowing.

Wow, I will have to compare prices, but since I work at a pharmacy I get a pretty good discount (which I haven't taken advantage of yet).

That's great that you are able to get them for so much cheaper! I definitely know how expensive prescriptions are...I sort our checks every morning and sometimes I'm just shocked at how much some of the payments are!

Thanks, Tink! I'm going to check this out. I could really use some help with my prescriptions.

Tink · 05-29-2007, 08:15 PM

I hope it helps Diana! It sure made a sweet difference for me!

Now that I'm not working I have more time to check into ways to save money... and more need to do so! LOL

WOW!! It just shows that it can be done! Good for you Tink

I agree! We are very lucky to have Tink here.

I love your posts Tink. You find the most inspirational stuff to post, interesting hints, like this one, and you're such a good person.

I belong to a union and I don't know if I can fill things at Costco. I'm going to check. I am ashamed of how we take advantage of he sick, middle class, poor and elderly concerning meds and health care in our country. The fact that you had to give up meds because of the price is astonishing. I gave up any meds that I felt weren't really necessary because of the cost. I have better places to put my money.

Okay...time for me to stop ranting. This is a topic that really pushes my buttons.

Aaaaaaaawwwwwwww shucks ladies. Thanks !

I think I'm just so programmed to post new and helpful things after my 7 yrs as a site administrator/moderator/coordinator that I do it out of habit. LOL

DianaB · 05-31-2007, 12:06 PM

Wow, Tink!!! Their prices were a lot cheaper especially if you bought a 3 month supply!! You have to be a member so I'm going to check into it farther. If I can get the prices that were quoted on the internet, I'll be spending as much for 3 months as I was for one month of meds. Thanks so much!!

My meds are a lot cheaper at Costco. Anything that helps us save money is a good thing!

Tink · 06-03-2007, 03:56 PM

Diana, if you ONLY use the pharmacy, you don't have to be a member. That was my first question too since I don't have any of their stores near me. I ordered my meds and am just waiting for them to arrive now. I did pay the prices quoted on their site and NO shipping costs.

DianaB · 06-04-2007, 06:26 AM

Cool!!!! Thanks Tink!!
