get the most for your $$$: new/transfer prescriptions

my husband & i have excellent health insurance coverage,  prescriptions are FREE when we go to our hmo’s pharmacy because of our dual coverage from work… but one day a couple months ago i decided to try out one of the FREE $25 gift card coupons from CVS we’ve received in the mail for new or transfer prescriptions.  the prescription was for 800mg ibuprofen when my husband had a root canal so i knew the meds would be less than $10 without “insurance” so even if we paid $10, we’d get $15 FOR FREE.  turns out that the prescription was $7.  we paid it and were given a $25 gift card.  it was that simple.  i couldn’t believe that’s all we had to do.  it’s completely legit, just keep your eyes out for the coupons!

and it just so happened TODAY that we got one of those random coupons from target when you check out and it was for a $20 giftcard for new/transfer prescriptions and my husband had to have an extraction today so guess where we will be cashing out this week?  cha-ching!
