I am getting my expensive meds for pennies on the dollar.

goodrx.com DOES work, PLUS after your first prescription, all your refills are plugged into the computer at the same low price.
I got my doc to prescribe a 30 day supply, tried it out at one drug store, paid 20.00 for 244.00 worth of meds.
Then I asked him to give me a 90 day supply, printed off another coupon, took it to the pharmacy listed, and got 90 meds for something
like 30.00.
I just re-filled the 30 day script for 20.00. So for less than 100.00 I have 5 months of my cancer drug.

Even if you have insurance, it is sometimes cheaper to do it this way instead of using deductible and co-pay.

Also...check out needymeds.org which has a list of other ways to get seriously cheap meds.
