Why Didn't I Think of That? Wednesday

Each Wednesday I'll share a tip to make your week go more smoothly or just make you say "aha!"

We didn't have prescription coverage for a while, and that was quite an eye-opener. Here are a few things you can do to avoid high Rx costs.

• Ask for a generic equivalent if your doctor says it's OK. 
• Shop around at different pharmacies. The local grocery store pharmacy was cheaper than Target for one Rx!
• Some pharmacies will let you buy just a few pills at a time. This is great if payday is a week away but your Rx runs out in two days.
• Ask your doctor for samples.
