I was down for the count yesterday, because I paid a visit to the podiatrist and had a minor toe surgery done. But I still managed to squeeze in one coupon deal – I actually made a profit at Walgreens filling a prescription for my foot! I would have never thought it was possible to come out ahead on prescriptions (especially since I don’t have health insurance), but such is the magic of coupons.
To start with, I was very fortunate that my prescription only came to a little over $13. That would have been enough of a relief in and of itself, but I was able to use two deals to save me even more. First, I handed over my Together RX card. This is a free discount card for people without prescription coverage, and it saved me about $3. Then, I redeemed this printable coupon for a free $25 Walgreens gift card with a transferred prescription – so I only paid $10.84, and got a $25 gift card back! Click here to view my receipt.
Thanks to Hot Coupon World for both of these deals. They have a special forum just for prescription deals which is a must read if you’re about to fill one yourself. I’ve been able to do similar gift card deals at Rite Aid and Safeway this year, which has been fantastic.
I’ll have to console myself with my gift card, since I’ll be missing out on the free lipstick this weekend. I can barely walk around the house, let alone hobble through Walgreens. But those of you who will be a little more mobile this weekend should check it out!
