Affordable Prescription Meds at Target

OK, I'm on a roll. In my second Practical Pauline post today, I want to alert you (again) to Target's fantastic prescription medication program.

Here's the deal.

Step 1: If you are taking a prescription medication, look it up online to get the name of the generic equivalent.

Step 2: Find the Target nearest you. Go to its pharmacy website. Download the PDF file of its covered generic medications.

If you locate your generic there, you're in luck!

Step 3: Contact your doctor and ask her or him to prescribe the generic equivalent in either the 1-month or 3-month supply, and request that s/he call in the prescription to Target. (Have the Target pharmacy phone number ready). Target offer a 1-month supply for $4, or a 3-month supply for a fantastic $10. What's not to love?

Even if your doctor wants to see you before changing your prescriptions, it's so worth it.

We just saved something like $2,000 a year. No kidding.
