I refused to get one of my daughter's prescriptions from her dad's mail order pharmacy for this reason too because I could get it at Publix for free. I'm glad you are getting yours free from Publix. I think it's great!Belindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17486895127003368291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225169024525576477.post-11456727894039616512018-10-14T07:05:17.739-04:002018-10-14T07:05:17.739-04:00That's so great, Bellen.

When I lived in NJ, my diabetes medicine was free at ShopRite. The insurance company called me up and told me that if I didn't get it through their online site that they would never sell it to me again. I asked why I would want to pay them $30 for a 3 month supply when I could get it for free? They were furious. Now that I have moved to Fl, Publix offers my high blood pressure meds and my diabetes meds for free. Now that I have seen the list and know that there is one cholesterol med that is also free, I will ask what the difference is between that med and what I take that is $67 for 3 months, and see if I can at least try the free one. Never any harm in asking. I think everyone should ask at Walmart, their local pharmacies and their grocery store pharmacies for lists of the free meds and compare.

I know a lot of people don't like Walmart, but I do like them. So many things you can get there and this is another great example.

We don't have Publix in our area, but just shopping around helped us.<br /><br />I hope your blood pressure is doing better this week.Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225169024525576477.post-3080680541252730082018-10-10T21:09:56.361-04:002018-10-10T21:09:56.361-04:00I looked and tried.

Interesting read because my PCP has been telling me for more than a decade that in time general practitioners with their own offices will be a thing of the past. <br /><br />Anyone interested, Sam's is training non-medical personnel to give injections and tests. Pharmacists are not usually trained when in school; however, they are being trained to give injections and administer tests. With my tier of membership, this year DH and I have received free injections valued at $240 for each of us. Costco's is surely doing the same. <br /><br />Remembering the days when free blood pressure at Sam's was "the thing."<br /><br />Each of us has her/his process to lower prices in many areas of life. Maintaining our health costs with an ear to the ground pays. <br /><br />thyme2Bthriftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814205711340836067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225169024525576477.post-13318616144856574682018-10-10T15:30:54.021-04:002018-10-10T15:30:54.021-04:00Thank you, Nil.
