The burden of keeping up with medical and prescription payments, making sure that medical insurance is covering our costs properly, and finding the best deals on prescriptions is something that I and many of us work through and struggle with, especially as years go by and the number of physical ailments increase.

I'm thankful that I have a husband who works and through him we have medical insurance. I spend my time working at home and keeping up with our bills and paperwork, seeking out the best deals, and managing our finances. One day he will retire, or no longer be able to work, and we'll join many who have to find the best deals possible on their medications.

One store that is doing their part to help it's customers with this is Walgreens. Recently Walgreens tried to work out a deal to have their contract with Express Scripts renewed, so that Walgreens would still be part of their Pharmacy Providers Network. Walgreens and Express Scripts are no longer working together because the contract was not renewed. This put a burden on customers who have been saving through the program, causing many to have to find alternatives elsewhere…but a solution has been found.

To help these individuals, and provide a service to new customers, you can now join a Prescription Savings Club at Walgreens. It only costs $5 for an individual, and $10 for a family, which includes dependents up to 22 years of age and even pet prescriptions. You save on over 8000 name brand prescriptions, and on all generic prescriptions. Sign up this month if you need help with prescription costs, it's a great way to start the year.
