I use it for certain medications. Their price is lower than my insurance copay. The only thing is that the price can fluctuate a little…nothing shocking, but I’ve never paid the same price two months in a row. Sometimes it’s higher, but sometimes it’s lower. ---

A prescription that was not covered by my insurance was going to be a little over $600 for 90 days at my pharmacy. I went with Good rx and could get a 30 day supply for a little over $12.00. Called the Doc office to get a new prescription, picked it up and carried it in to get the cheaper price. Also printed off the Good Rx info, ---

This year, we chose the cheapest Part D coverage and are using goodrx for all prescriptions. Two of us together have 5 scripts, and goodrx pricing is cheaper than the copay for all 5. ---

I still order my wife’s Synthroid, must be brand name, generic don’t work as good, from Canada. I can get 90 pills for about the same as 30 through Good Rx. Been doing this for years. ---

My wife takes the generic version, levothyroxine. It’s currently $9.03 for 90 pills with goodrx at Albertson’s (where our scripts are and, surprisingly, cheaper than Costco). ---

Unknown how it works but it is totally nutso. You pay every month to keep a stinking Part D drug plan that is less than worthless. Then you whip out a goodrx and the price is a small fraction? Doing it the regular way somebody is raking in big bucks. ---

Was given a prescription last fall for a medication that was not covered by Medicare. It was about $600 for 90 pills. Went back by the Dr’s office and got a prescription in hand. Got to shopping it, Canada, different pharmacies, etc. Checked Good rx and could get 30 pills for a little over $12 at the local Kroger. Don’t understand how it works, but on some meds you can save a ton. Going to pick up a refill today, same price. ---

From my employer we are told to use mail order for the best prices. One prescription is $100 and with GoodRx it’s $25 but have to go to a retail pharmacy. Yeah, I don’t get it. The downside of GoodRx is that it doesn’t go against your deductible because it’s outside of insurance. So if you know you will be fulfilling your deductible in a given year don’t use GoodRx. ---

Been doing this for years. Can you share the Canadian Pharmacy that you use? I was just about to start looking into this option for the EXACT same prescription. ---

> **[Blue Sky Drugs – Your Canadian Pharmacy Services](https://www.blueskydrugs.com/)** > > Blue Sky Drugs is a certified online pharmacy in Canada providing exceptional Canadian pharmacy services. 1-866-995-7387 It seems that if you just do a search for Blue Sky Drugs, a bunch of different pharmacies come up, some don’t seem to be legit. Hope this helps. When there has been a question, it’s easy to get a person on the phone and they tend to be very helpful. ---

I compare prices with a few apps because some are cheaper than others depending on the medication. I use GoodRX, RxSaver, and SingleCare. ---

It can really pay to shop around. My dog requires a prescription for an acidifier for bladder stones. The local Vets charge about $45 for 180 pills which last 1 month (6 a day). So I looked around and found that WalmartPetRX is vastly cheaper. I can get 1,000 pills for $30. Oh let me think about that… I also found that the website for WalmartPetRX looks very similar to AliiVet with the exact same price for this. In any event, if I don’t have to keep going to the Vet each month, and I stop paying 8 times the cost, I’m happy. ---

I don’t use it. I just buy all the medicines I need online or at the local pharmacy .For example I often [buy victoza online](https://www.canadadrugsdirect.com/products/victoza) because can not find it at local pharmacy or it is higher price then on Internet. Since I am a diabetic, I don’t have any discounts for it 🙂 ---

I use it for prescriptions not covered by my insurance plan and it makes a real difference. I recently went on Medicare and have prescription drug coverage, so early on I got the Good RX pricing. But to my surprise, I don’t have to pay anything for 4 of the 5 prescriptions I take with my Medicare plan. ---

I have never once received a medication using GoodRX at the price quoted. I tried it at 5 different pharmacies, and the most egregious of those actually charged me double of the GoodRX price. I complained to GoodRX all the time, and it never made a difference. Various pharmacists told me that there’s only a limited number of a particular medication that they can fill at the GoodRX price. I never got one. All I can say is thank God for Mark Cuban’s [CostPlusDrugs.com](http://CostPlusDrugs.com), it dropped my monthly bill (I have NO drug insurance) from $110/mo to, not kidding here, $7/mo. I have since destroyed all the GoodRX cards they sent me, and I will never use them again. I feel like it’s a low-level scam. ---

After doing some side-by-side comparisons of Part D, insurance co-pays and GoodRx, I opted not to sign up for Part D. I’ll be taking 2 generics, levothyroxine and celecoxib, for the rest of my life. I’m so grateful that generic meds plus GoodRx allows me to save hundreds of dollars. Every penny counts when you live on Social Security. ---

When I signed up last year from Med D, the woman at the senior center suggested I leave out the one expensive eye drop and buy that outside Medicare using Good RX. Except for that one eye drop, my meds are usually $0 or a small co-pay. Great advice, as it lessen my premium to a very small premium - If I recall correctly, it was $6/year and the eye drop was much cheaper using Good RX than if I included in Med D. Also, I looked at Mark Cuban’s site and it was even a few $'s cheaper before shipping. Walgreens keeps my GoodRX coupon on file. I also think it is worth asking the Pharmacy if they have any coupons (Good RX or otherwise) on their system you can use. Sometimes they do. Finally, I would recommend going to a senior center or other social service agency (in CT, it is Choices) for advice on Med D and Supplemental plans. I’m on a high deductible which works for me.
