GoodRx vs manufacturer coupon - real numbers

Different situation up here in Toronto since the US coupons don't apply, but the compounding pharmacy price I pay has stayed steady while the food savings keep adding up. Sounds like pricing every fill is the move no matter which route you're on.

Independent pharmacy quote beat everything for me too, saved me about 80 bucks a fill versus GoodRx. Worth calling two or three locals and asking them to run the price before your next refill, takes ten minutes.

The ten-minute phone calls are underrated. I called two pharmacies near me last refill and one beat my usual price by $60 without any coupon at all. Also noticed the appetite drop means my grocery bill is down enough that even a small monthly difference in what I pay adds up fast.

Similar experience here, my indie pharmacy beat the coupon by about $70 a fill. Between that and eating way less since starting, the math got a lot friendlier. Calling around before each refill is now part of my routine.

Coupon stacking never applied to me since I'm on reta and paying cash, but the call-around trick still held up when I was filling other stuff in Portland. One local quoted me way under the chains, so now I ask for cash price everywhere before I hand over a card.

Cash price at my local independent beat both GoodRx and the coupon when I checked last month, which I never would have guessed. Worth asking for the cash quote first before mentioning any discount card, since some places just run the card automatically.

Independent pharmacies ended up cheapest for me too, saved enough over the chains to cover a month's groceries. Asking for cash price before mentioning any card is the move, learned that the hard way. Down 11 lbs along the way so at least the results side is working out.

Same finding here, my indie pharmacy beat everything once I started asking for cash price first. The chains just swipe whatever card you give them and call it a day. Also down nearly 60 lbs since starting, so whatever gets you the cheapest fill, it's worth the extra phone calls.

My experience matches yours almost exactly.

The cash price trick worked for me too, my local independent beat GoodRx by a wide margin once I stopped leading with a card. Worth calling around since prices varied a lot between the two indies near me. Down 52 lbs in the meantime so the hassle pays for itself.

Independent pharmacies won my comparison too, cash price came in well under both GoodRx and the manufacturer card at the one near me. Worth the ten minutes of calls since the two closest to me quoted wildly different numbers. Down 55 lbs in the meantime, so a little phone tag is cheap.
