I pick up the new script yesterday and hand the Pharmacist the goodrx card.

She looks confused, asks me if I'm sure I want to use that.

I said, sorta smugly, yeah.

She says, welllll, the out of pocket with your insurance is $35.00

Oh, well, never mind then. $35.00 is good.
My prescription is $1.35 a month at Walgreen's. Every year, my insurance tries to push me to get a three-month supply from CVS instead (by saying I neglected to opt-out of their bulk program). If I buy it from CVS in a 3-month supply, it will save me a whopping 15¢! (5¢ a month). The Walgreen's is walking distance from my house. The CVS is across town. I will burn more in gas going to get it. That, and if I have another temporary prescription, it will be a pain to get.
