Filling up prescriptions and buying OTC medication can be costly. Thankfully, there are ways to score prescription discounts. The May issue of Consumer Reports’ ShopSmart tackles the issue and I summarize their findings below.
Go generic – Thought the names are unpronounceable, Consumer Reports found you’ll end up saving as much as 95 percent off the brand name price. Hot dang! The same is true about OTCs. I stopped buying Motrin a long time ago, and instead buy Ibuprofen. It’s so much cheaper!

It is legit to take advantage of prescription transfer coupons that mainstream pharmacies offer from time to time. Here are all the transfer coupons I found.
Rite Aid offers $25 gift cards for prescription transfers, up to two. Page three of yesterday’s flyer (in the April 25, 2010 newspaper) also had two $25 prescription transfer coupons.
Kmart offers $25 per transferred prescription up to $100 through May 22, 2010.
Walgreens issued a few prescription transfer coupons last month but I did not find any fersh ones.
Target occasionally issues $10 prescription transfer coupons in their weekly flyers.
CVS also issues prescription transfer coupons but I could not find any.
Do you have a link to a prescription transfer coupon?
