Pharmacy
The cost of drugs has skyrocketed. Some of the most popular and prescribed medicine is so expensive that many folks do without. So what do you do if your doctor prescribes a potentially life-saving drug you can't afford? The first thing you should do is ask your doctor for a generic version. Generics do the same job as the name brands and are substantially cheaper. Also take advantage of pharmacies like WalMart who offer $4.00 prescription prices on certain medications. Your doctor should be willing to work with you on this. It can be a real money saver and you won't have to go without the medicine you need. Following are some other ideas to help ease the cost of drugs.
Presciption Drug Cards - You can get a prescription drug card for free. By signing up, you can benefit from deep discounts on FDA approved drugs at numerous pharmacies in the United States. I checked my area and there were plenty of pharmacy choices. There are other prescription drug discount cards available for a monthly fee, usually less than $5.00 a month. They cover more ground and have other perks like newsletters and support. I have included links to both options.

Canadian Pharmacies - Getting your medication from Canadian pharmacies online is another cost-effective way to stay healthy. There are many reputable Canadian pharmacies where you can get not only generic drugs but name-brand drugs as well at a greatly reduced price. Most of these pharmacies are used to dealing with U.S. based customers so service is quick and efficient. I am including links first to an online database which includes information on the pharmacies and reviews. They guarantee legitimacy by a verification process that includes license and reputation. Other links point directly to the pharmacies themselves. Here they are -

Vitamins - We all know that taking vitamins and supplements helps to maintain optimum health. But they also are getting expensive. Look for "buy one, get one free" deals and check out the discount stores. Even better, order online for the best deals. Here are links to companies I have used over and over.
