Online prescription drug prices

Having always had insurance pay for all my medical/drug costs I always figured that it didn't matter what pharmacy you went to here in the US. But now I have a prescription that insurance isn't covering. The first month it wasn't a big deal, I was fine with paying the $30 myself. But then this month they doubled my amount needed and accordingly the cost doubled up to $60 a month. And while that is not too bad, it may need to be doubled next month to a $120 prescription.

So I went online last night to see what Canadian websites might have to offer just out of curiosity. And what I found was that there were a couple of US based online pharmacy that you can use. One in particular is partnered with Riteaid and called www.drugstore.com .They only charge $25 for that same exact prescription that I spent $60 on, and if I need the double dose next month the cost would only be $38 instead of the $120 that Long's drug was charging.

I just thought that it was interesting and might be of use to someone else in the future. If you don't have complete prescription drug coverage I would give this site a try. They will mail it to your house for $1.50.
