fran rokicki ambassador: Savings Tips! Module One - 09/30/10 11:43 AM
Prescription Medicines
Sam's Club offers a three month supply of many prescription drugs to you, for ten dollars!  Talk about saving money!  It's less expensive than using insurance, with a co-pay!  Not all drugs will apply, but, check the list at the pharmacy inside Sam's Club.
You do not have to be a member of Sam's Club to use their pharmacy.  Just let the greeter at the entrance door know, that you are going to the pharmacy.  Same with the Optical Department.  You can access that, also.
