Got Those Prescription Blues????

Hello My Friends,

Here is my Thursday Tip for SAVING $$$$$ We all complacently pay our co-pays for our prescriptions at the pharmacy as they seem to go up higher and higher every day.

Now I enjoy Wine, Food and Song, as well as a fine Pate de Fois Gras and as a result I have had Gout for 30 years. Thanks to a little pill called Allopurinol, I have been able to eat Asparagus tips and pate to nearly my heart's content.

My co-pay for this med is $10.00 per month or $120.00 per year. I asked my Pharmacist, Wayne, how much would it cost me per month without my insurance and I was shocked: $9.99!!!

I then asked Wayne what it would cost if I bought a full years supply and the answer was $56.00

People.... The math is quite simple: I am saving $64.00 dollars a year by buying this particular medication without my insurance. Needless to say, I had Wayne go over all of my medications and my mothers medications in the same fashion and the bottom line is I am saving over $500.00 per year not putting my meds through my insurance.

This is my special tip to you all for this Thursday Evening.

Sweet Dreams and Bon Nuit,
Stephen
