Save Money At CVS

Submitted by: anonymous  02/27/2009 11:20 PM
 
I dropped my new prescription off at CVS yesterday. I had a coupon that had printed out on my last purchase for a $25 gift card for any new or transferred prescription. Since I was on CVS mailing list I had also received a mailer today with two coupons for $25 gift card for new or transferred prescription. While picking up my prescription we also got my husbands prescription filled and received a total of two $25 gift cards.

Caution you are only supposed to get one card per day but the lady gave us the card anyways. So we stocked up on things that we needed that were on sale BOGO and or receive extra care bucks. Are bill came to $82.00. We were able to redeem both $25 gift card and only paid $32.00. I still have the coupon that printed out plus received another one, both for new or transferred prescriptions plus received $2.99 extra care bucks that can be used on my next purchase.

Also as I was looking around the store I found some items that were discontinued that had the exact ingredients as more expensive brands. Was able to purchase 3 bottles of foot powder for $2.00 each.

When I could not find this coupon, I asked our neighbor who is a pharmacist for CVS. She told me that this offer is not legal in our state, New York, and therefore is not offered. However, she told me about the CVS generic drug plan of $9.99 for a 90-day supply. The list of drugs is very extensive (you can go to CVS online for info), and the majority of prescriptions we have can be found on the list. I also researched Walmart, Kmart, and a few local pharmacy offerings. For us, the CVS plan worked out the best overall. They also offer the generic Fosamax for $23.99 for a 3-month supply. It is the cheapest price I have found. The plan is $10 per year per person and comes with a health-savings card that will earn you cash saving points on other purchases. With a little research, and discussion with our doctors, by transferring our prescriptions we potentially will save over $1,000 this year. This is wonderful, since my husband has been laid off, and even with COBRA benefits, the Rx benefit is minimal, with high copays. Everyone's situation is different, but it works for us, and I recommend it is worth taking a look at. Shop around and consider your options.

Some CVS pharmacies accept theses coupons from Walgreen’s. I purchased two of these coupons on eBay for $1.89.
