Question:
My prescriptions are spread out everywhere, since I go where ever I have a coupon. I don’t want to spend a fortune getting medicine and love the free gift cards, but I hate not having it all in one place. Do you go to different pharmacies too? How do you save money on prescriptions?

Answer:
I don’t go to multiple pharmacies. I do it all at one – CVS Pharmacy. Why? I can get everything I want there for the lowest price. While the store doesn’t match prices or take competitor coupons, the CVS Pharmacy does. You can take your “Get a $10 gift card with a new or transferred prescription” coupon from Target to CVS and have CVS match Walmart’s $4 Prescription Program, assuming you’re filling a prescription that meets the requirements. This way, I don’t have my prescriptions spread out over 10 different pharmacies.

Spreading prescriptions to multiple pharmacies is one of the worst things you can do. You won’t be saving any money when you wind up in the hospital because two of your medications contraindicate each other.
Well, even having all my prescriptions at one place, they still don’t check that! I have to ask when I fill a prescription, because they never question it. They advertise that they do, but I’ve found that when I have two in their system that I know contraindicate each other, they don’t say a think when I fill one of them. Luckily, I’m smart enough to ask my doctor before I take anything.
