Getting on in years, I have a few prescriptions to fill every month.

Because I hate going to the drugstore every month, I started asking for 90-day refills instead of the default 30 day refills. I was astounded to find that my prescription cost was reduced by 30% to 50% by ordering 90-day refills instead of 30 days.

It’s only a few dollars per month for me, but for someone on a strict budget with expensive prescriptions, that difference could literally be a lifesaver.

Check with your pharmacy.
