Sorry – my parenthetical got cut off – I meant to say “talk to your doc if they’re not”. If there is a generic option available, it’s worth trying. You might have to push the doc a bit on it (never take no from a doctor). But you’re out of luck if it’s something newer or unique. But it’s always worth a shot!

Thanks, deepali. Unfortunately they’re not generic. And doctors don’t like to change something that works.

Mrs M – if the antidepressants are generic (talk to your doc), then you should shop around. CVS will not have the lowest price. I believe Sams Club and Costco do not require membership to use the pharmacy.

i have insurance that takes care of my prescriptions with a low copay from me…however, because my spouse is retired military and my insurance is a benefit of being married to the guy, i go to the nearest base to see my doctor and use the base pharmacy which does not cost me anything except the gas to get there. even with gas cost being so high, i still save by not having to make those copays. and i get to visit the commissary while i am there as well where meat and produce is about 40-50% cheaper.

I think your RX discount card is just a marketing program.

Every biz knows there are some people who will pay full retail. Some who will shop a little bit for a discount. Some who are going to get the absolute rock bottom price deal. (I am this consumer).

Your CVS (or the chain) pays to be in that affiliated marketing program. They are only giving a discount on this item because you took the initiative to look for one. Otherwise, they may as well hit you for full retail….

Never Pay Retail. Never EVER Pay Retail. Most of the time all it takes is some initiative and some hutzpah to ask for a discount.

If the person isn’t a commissioned sales person. I do this A LOT and almost every time I’m successful. You can ask them – hey when does this product go on sale? Are there coupons out there? How can you help me save a buck or two? Chances are this person is a working John or Jane just like the rest of us. If you ask nicely, relate with them, and even point out they are the expert on the sale of prescription drug discounts (in your example), then they will usually point you in the right direction. If they can’t help or won’t help – you’re only out your time. That’s when I usually head to the next avenue of getting a deal….
