Cut prescription costs

Are medications busting your budget? Save money with these 10 strategies. ― By Betsy Wiesendanger

Go generic

Go generic

About 75% of brand-name drugs sold in the United States have a generic equivalent that costs significantly less. For example, a brand-name allergy drug can be $1 per pill, and the generic version is just 8 cents. Walmart, Target, Kroger and other discount and grocer chains offer 30- and 90-day supplies of generic drugs for $10 or less. If your doctor hasn’t prescribed a generic, ask why. It’s possible that the drug is new and there isn’t a generic equivalent yet. If so, ask the doctor if there's an older, less expensive medicine that works just as well.
