DH had a prescript that needed to be filled as he still hasn't met his deductable it has to come out of our pocket so afetr finding out that the first meds he was given was going to be $168 the doctor gave him a new prescription So he goes to rite aid and asks what it would cost out of pocket he was quoated $80+ but it seemes the Dr forgot to sign it so he had to go back to the dr and get that taken care of but at that point time wise he went to cvs as it's closer to the dr's we pick it up later and it's only $46+ OMG I couldn't believe it we didn't have a any coupons but we saved a bunch I guess from now on we'll be making phone calls from the dr's parking lot lol 1|1|my generic fosamax 70.00 at the acme(m)|100651|ccammarano@comcast.net|08:39:23|02/17/2009|

2|1|My advice is to check with walmart pharmacy first.....they have a pretty extensive list of meds that are only $4! :) Then start calling around and ask for prices before filling a new prescription....we dont take maintenance medications here, but if we had to start that's what I would do. :)|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|08:55:37|02/17/2009|

Rite Aid does not advertise this anymore, but if you ask them to rice match another competitor they will do that and they will let you call for price quote from the store. I always call Costco because they are low unless it is a $4 Wal Mart drug.
I really loathe that the pharmacies vary so much. It does not seem right to me, but I guess that is capitalism at work. 5|1|The scary part is if the prescription had|teener|teenerzacsneenee@yahoo.com|10:35:28|02/17/2009|
been signed and as he was running late he would have just let them fill it as the first one he was given ( which actually was on sat) was $168 $80+ was still a "deal" so to speak It's just one more thing that we now have to research before we go ahead This has become a full time job lol 6|2|Here's an idea....preset all the pharmacy phone numbers in your cell phone, then when you get a script from the doc, you can call before you even leave the parking lot :)|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|11:02:30|02/17/2009|
