Don’t Overpay for Prescriptions

Medication costs can really add up. To save money on your prescriptions, always opt for the generic when possible.

And consider joining a prescription membership program wherever you buy your medication to receive discounts and earn rewards.

For example, the Rite Aid Rx Savings Program gives members 15 percent off or more on meds, and a 30-day supply of most generics costs only $9.99 with the plan.
