Compounding price jumped, anyone else?

Mine jumped about 15% this cycle, which stings more now that I'm in maintenance territory and eating way less than when I started at 230. Someone above mentioned asking about multi-month pricing and that saved me a bit last quarter, so it can't hurt to ask yours.

Mine went up too, enough that I had to shuffle some things around in the monthly budget. Worth checking if your pharmacy has any loyalty pricing or multi-month option before you commit. I've been on Ozempic for a while now and the cost creep is real here in Toronto.

Mine crept up too, right around the same time my appetite finally chilled out on tirzepatide, which feels like a cruel joke. I called mine and asked straight up if there was a cash discount and got a few bucks off, so the asking-around thing really does work sometimes.

#5

Same story here in Louisville, mine ticked up right around when I hit my stride on Trulicity. Down 41 lbs so I'm eating a fraction of what I used to, which makes the higher bill extra annoying. Asking about a cash price got me a small break last time, worth a shot.

Down 53 myself so the grocery savings help, but yeah the monthly bill keeps creeping anyway. I asked mine about paying a couple months at once and they knocked a little off, so between that and the cash price trick it's worth a phone call before you eat the full increase.

#7

Down 87 myself and my bill has gone up almost every couple months, so yeah it tracks. Comparing a few places in my area got mine back down closer to what I was paying before, so shopping around helped more than I expected.

#8

Mine went up too, right around the time I hit 30 down, which felt like a bad reward. Shopping around worked better for me than haggling -- a place two towns over was way closer to my old price. Worth a few calls before you rework the budget.

#9

Down 32 here and my renewal crept up twice since fall. Calling around ended up being the only thing that moved the number -- the place I'd been with for a year just matched the lower quote when I told them I was leaving.

#11

Mine crept up too, though I'm only 13 lbs in so I hadn't connected it to progress yet. Also had luck just asking what promos were running when I called -- knocked a chunk off without switching.Mine went up too, though I'm only about 13 lbs in so I hadn't connected it to progress like the rest of you. Before I started calling around I asked my current place if any discounts were running and they knocked a chunk off on the spot.

#12

Mine went up twice in the past few months too. Asking for retention deals worked for me the same way -- when I mentioned switching they knocked a chunk off without me going anywhere. Down about 14 lbs and the results are worth it, but the price creep is real for sure.

#13

Down 42 lbs here and the bill has definitely climbed along the way. Mentioning I'd price shop got me a better rate last renewal, so echoing what others found there. Still cheaper than I imagined the grocery bill savings would offset, but not by much.

#14

21 lbs in and my monthly cost has gone up twice as well. I tried the mention-cancelling thing last cycle and they took some off, so it seems to be the move across the board. Worth a try before you eat the new rate.

#15

Same here, mine crept up twice since I started and I'm down 28 lbs so it stings but I'm staying for now. Mentioning cancellation at renewal got me a discount too, worth a try before you rework the whole budget.

#16

Mine bumped twice in six months too, right around when I hit the 40 lb mark. Something about saying I was looking elsewhere knocked a chunk off my last invoice, so it's worth a shot before you rework anything.

#17

Down 43 lbs myself and my rate has climbed twice too. The "I might cancel" line worked on my last renewal as well, knocked off a decent chunk without any pushback. Annoying that it takes that, but cheaper than eating the hike.

#18

Also seeing the creep, two bumps since I started. The cancel hint worked for me too, saved about 15 percent at renewal without them fighting it. Annoying game to play but 24 lbs in, I'm not switching over a few dollars a month yet.

#19

Only 4 lbs in so far but I've already eaten one hike, so the pattern seems real no matter how early you are. Sounds like I should try the "looking around" line before my next renewal instead of just budgeting for it.

#20

Third increase here in Arkansas too, seems pretty universal. Mentioning I'd compared prices elsewhere got my renewal knocked down last month, no hassle at all. Down 46 lbs so I'm paying it regardless, but every discount slows the bleed.
