Reader Linda shared how she has saved $600 a year on prescriptions. Note, I have never used this site.
I follow your blog and am grateful for all savings advice and contests that you run. I found this amazing website and I use it all the time. I saved my mom $600 last year. She takes Nexium and was able to save $50 a month on her prescription. My sister told me my brother-in-law had to go on Lipitor and I directed her to www.internetdrugcoupons.com. She will be able to save $120 this year on his prescription. Share it with your readers so they can save too! Keep up the great work you do with your blog and have a great year.
Linda is not affiliated with this site, which frankly, looks spammy. If you only print coupons from the site, fine. But I would be vary about sharing ANY personal info. The site purports to have a free membership card (similar to AAA) that gives you discounts of 10-45% off on prescriptions not covered by health insurance. But AAA costs money to join. Why would drug companies and pharmacies give you a discount just for printing out this card? Sketchy.
At the bottom of the homepage I noticed this note from the webmaster that partially restores my trust.
This site is just a glorified list of links to drug coupons with descriptions of the offers. We do not issue or fulfill any of the offers. All offers come from the drug companies, not us. InternetDrugCoupons.com does not have any relationship whatsoever with any drug company.
I put together this site as my small contribution to help the American people save money on their drug bills during these difficult economic times.
We make money from advertisements on the site and advertisements are clearly marked. – Webmaster
For more info, read the site’s mission statement on the About page. Have you used this site? Are you curious about getting coupons for medications and prescriptions from the Internet?
Welcome to Bargain Babe! I’m Mara, and I’m so glad you’re here. I am an obsessive bargain hunter and penny pincher, and I am determined to live a full life without EVER paying full price.
I , myself , would never use a site like this. Because of job layoffs in our area, alot of people cannot afford prescriptions.
Check with your state about an insurance prescription plans. I use a program in Ohio , it is OHIOBestRX.com, and I save up to 40 -50 % on my medications. I think many states have their own. Please check on the web and see if your state has one.
I have looked on this site before to help a friend. Dont miss the point here which is You can save lots of money by investigating the drug manufacturers website.
I have 2 medications that I take that I save money on my copays. Not any income requirements or anything
1 medication I save $5.00/mth and another $7.50/ month – the only thing i did was register with the drug manufact website and bring the coupon or card in to the pharmacy. I think this site is providing awesome information!
I encourage everyone to check on this.
I just want to say all you have to do is go straight to the pharmacutical company and they can help with persciptions, i get my nexium free, you do have to have drs persciption, and no insurance and they do go by income but its worth checking on if you dont have insurance
I actually read about this site last month in the LA Times [ http://www.latimes.com/health/la-he-quit-smoking-20110103,0,7466367.story ]. I used to look for drug coupons on google but most of the time what google shows you is outdated coupons or scams.
I actually like the site and have told several friends about it.
It does have a 1990’s look but I found links to coupons for my son’s acne medication, mine and my husband’s insulin, cholesterol medications and a few more.
As far as I can tell this site is legit. They put all the coupons in one place. And they never asked for personal information.
@Alisya Thanks for the personal recommendation. It’s great to know that even though the site looks a little funky, it has helped you save money on prescriptions and medicine. Just curious, have you used their free prescription discount card?
I HAVE used this site for a Rx where my copay would have been $70.00. Because I printed out a temporary ‘card’ & then was mailed a permanent card, my Walgreens pharmacy charges me only the $4.00. My med is Effexor XR. I was floored when I first used the card to find it was for real. Saving $66 a month is quite a deal. I already have my new card for the 2011 year. Not sure why the manufacturer does this but am grateful they do!
I used their discount card. It gives good savings on birth control pills and especially higher priced generic drugs like generic imitrex and generic topamax. I have saved 40% on the generic imitrex and 15% on the generic topomax. WE have a $1,200 annual deductible for drugs.
It is a hit or miss situation. I tried it on
some of the expensive brand name drugs but the discounts were lower.
The way I use it is when I get a prescription I give the clerk the discount card first and have him get me that full cash price next to see if I am really getting savings.
My friend at work used the program and gave me a photocopy of her card. All of the coupon codes are the same on every card. The card encourages you to photocopy the card and give it to friends..
Hello. Very good advice. I like the way you write. Really useful information. Re: “I used their discount card. It gives good savings on birth control pills and especially more expensive generic drugs like generic imitrex and generic topamax. I saved 40% on a universal imitrex and 15% on a total topmax. We have an annual deductible for drugs in the amount of $ 1,200, “I do the same and advise everyone. Generics are very expensive lately, so I try to replace them with universal ones. Good luck!
