I just have to share this with all of you:
My youngest has to use Nasonex (steriod nasal spray) from now until the end of time to keep nasal polyps away.
When we first got a prescription I had them call it into Wal-Mart pharmacy and about fell over when I went and picked it up in November and it cost me $50 and that was with insurance (got it half off with the insurance).
Since we switched doctors I asked the new doctor if I would be able to get a new prescription from him. Was worried about having medicine with a doctor's name on that we never see. He agreed and wrote me a new prescription.
Instead of going back to Wal-Mart to get it filled I went to a "Lewis Drug Store" smaller store than Wal-Mart, usually the items cost more there depending on the sales. I did find a coupon on the Nasonex website for $10 off of the co-pay but was still dreading the $40 it would end up costing, but it is medicine and don't really have a choice in the matter if I want him to stay healthy.
My mouth hit the floor when I had to pay for the prescription it was $25 then with the $10 off I only had to pay $15.I was in such a shock I even asked them if there was a mistake. Nope that was the correct price. Can't leave a good thing alone and told them how much I paid at Wal-Mart.
They told me that is how Wal-Mart does, they count on you to pay for it, since you stop there to get your medicine and other items as well.
Now I am a little peeved at Wal-Mart and will not take medicines to get filled any more. Learned my lesson-shop around on your medicine folks!
