One for motion sickness that is not deemed necessary....uh okay I use it for fishing but its ANY motion sickness they won't cover. Rite Aid automatically runs it through Good Rx for me and its reasonable enough then. Our local Walmart and Ashley my favorite clerk were outstanding in wrangling the ex's diabetic needs. Sometimes it took a herculean effort to keep it straight....but "someone" could have managed things better but we won't say who...<br /><br />The other med that was prescribed comes mail order by way of the manufacturer...I think. Apparently most insurances don't cover it and the the doc sent the script directly to them. <br /><br />Gone are the days of just showing up at the pharmacy and blithely handing them and insurance card and having it covered. :)<br /><br />mdoe37https://www.blogger.com/profile/03019276985594142350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-28458275945380429122020-08-01T17:52:34.015-04:002020-08-01T17:52:34.015-04:00I wonder how long it will take for the promised lo...I wonder how long it will take for the promised lower drug prices to come into effect. Soon, I hope. I am so glad that you were able to get a three-month supply of your prescriptions. It is troublesome to have only short supplies of needed meds...how well I know! I also use Wal*Mart pharmacy and find them to be the best as far as price, availability, and helpfulness. <br /><br />Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-72038680077845449192020-08-01T16:50:58.045-04:002020-08-01T16:50:58.045-04:00(Waves)(Waves)Mama Squirrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06941211100125966917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-83548075403433006332020-08-01T16:25:41.466-04:002020-08-01T16:25:41.466-04:00I too consider non food items to be part of my pan...I too consider non food items to be part of my pantry. Whether this is paper products, cleaning/laundry supplies or hygiene/health related, they are all a part of stocking up.<br /><br />I also think that other things such as batteries, flashlights & emergency supplies should also be considered necessary - a battery powered radio. perhaps mylar blankets, solar or battery powered lanterns, water purification tablets could also be on the list.<br /><br />Right now, a large supply of disposable masks, gloves and hand sanitizer is also something I am spending money on. Masks are mandatory here and probably will be for many months to come.<br /><br />I have just picked up a 90 day supply of prescriptions (and I already still had a lot on hand) and thanks to our Healthcare system, all of them were free.<br /><br />I like to have other items such as a label maker, extra printer cartridges and paper journals etc. I am slowly building up a gift box and already have Christmas cards, papers and bags in stock. My friends and I like to keep some gift bags circulating - it's become a bit of a joke! As we all know, having books, dvd's/cd's, puzzles & games has been a God send over the past few months so I have a puzzle mat and some new puzzles on my list to purchase.<br /><br />I think we really need to think carefully about each of our needs in case of another lockdown and hopefully we have all learned a lot over these past few months. Thank you for all that you do to keep us on track.Margie from Torontohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103835021764804099noreply@blogger.com
