I want to tell you about a shocking encounter I had with my friendly neighborhood pharmacy that opened my eyes and forever changed the way my family uses big discounts to slash our prescription drug costs.

For several years, my doctor had prescribed two preventive-type medications, both generic. Together, they cost about $24 for a 30-day supply. Given that our health insurance at the time included prescription coverage, I never questioned my copay or refill frequency or considered there might be cheaper alternatives.
