7 Smart Bargains from People Who Know Best

Get Cheaper Prescription Medicine

“Register with BidRx.com, a site where pharmacies, both local and mail-order, compete for your business, netting you discounts on maintenance drugs you take for chronic conditions, such as asthma and osteoporosis. Or download the free Rx iCard app, which functions like a discount card for name-brand and generic meds that aren’t filed with your insurance plan, giving you an average of 30 percent off. Just present your smartphone to the cashier to scan at checkout.”
