Related: About this forumAnyone have experience with presciptions filled by online stores?/??
My lil town, 50 miles away from any pharmacy options, has Wal-Mart and Wal Greens locally. Period.
Wal-greens has now bought out 4 other drug stores in town.
FOUR!!!
We are constantly having to play games with either of the WAL- stores left in town who over charge us on top of already high prices.
want to check out options, beside driving 100 miles to get a prescription.
My serious 3 rules in life are: don't fuck with my kids, my money, or my car. Last week it was the car, today, the $$$$.
I am really pissed, which isn't exactly what I need when I get overcharged for blood pressure meds.

(9,685 posts)I use the NHS on line prescription service. It is great, but so is the fact I only have to pay about 9 quid per prescription, and get free delivery. I am sure there must be something similar in the US? A non profit?

(60,010 posts)There ARE on-line sites where you can get a pretty good discount coupon, but the store games include claiming the coupon has expired when in fact it has not, and we are back to arguing with the store staff.
Gives me agita.

(9,685 posts)Brexit and all that shit. But I am thankful everyday for the NHS. I have 4 daily meds and when I get my repeat for 2 months worth I pay about £36. My partner who is on multiples of that pays £100 a year and gets all prescriptions for free, because he is on so many.
Surely there is a gap in the market for a non profit to come in and work with pharma on a social conscience platform?

(2,196 posts)Been using them for a couple of years now and they have been fine mostly great prices, only drawback is you need to give yourself plenty of lead time as deliveries can take a few weeks. As long as you do that all is well..one of my and my wife's prescriptions would be well over $1000.00 a month costs us $108.00..

I changed only because I wanted to support a local business.
