One of the two grocery stores I usually shop at has had a promotion going for a while now where if you transfer your prescriptions, you get $25 off of your groceries. Why it took me until this past week to take advantage of this, I have no idea. Inertia is a pretty powerful force, I suppose. If your local grocery store has one of these gigs running, I suggest you look into it pronto! My store had a couple of qualifiers, like government insurance didn't count and you had to be actually transferring a prescription, not getting a new one. I was eligible, so maybe you will be, too.
All I had to do was bring in my current prescriptions. I have two generic drugs I take every month. I filled out a new customer card with my birthday and phone number and such, and the pharmacy tech made a copy of my insurance card. I got my card bag and left the store. A few hours later when I came back to pick up my prescriptions, I had a new month's supply as well as my old bottles waiting for me. And my customer loyalty card had not one $25 credit but TWO $25 credits!
I didn't read the fine print, so I totally missed that the $25 reward was per prescription! It almost makes you wish you took more medicine! $50 is about what I try to spend on groceries each week - that is a huge budget stretcher for me. The trick is to send this saved $50 to savings and not to piss it away elsewhere....yes, that's the trick!
