Ways To Save On Rx Drugs

SPARTANBURG, S.C. --

310 Billion dollars. That's how much Americans spend in just one year on prescription drugs.

But Chelsey Tillotson has found a way to cut her costs by as much as 150%.

"I paid over 200 for my prescription every 2 weeks, and here I only pay 48 for the same prescription," said Tillotson.

She's talking about the pharmacies at wholesale retailers like Sam's Club.

"Cash prices are hands down cheaper than retail stores," said Pharmacist Laura Rillman.

And even clients who have health insurance like Chrystal Knighton can see a difference in co-pay.

"With the insurance it was still going to be $40. And now it's $8." she said.

Now, you might assume you need a membership to get these wholesale prices, but Sam's club says when it comes to the pharmacy, anyone can shop here.

But wholesale retailers aren't the only way to save. Websites like GoodRx have a searchable database where you can find the lowest price for the drug you need. And NeedyMeds.org has a link to programs that offer free or reduced priced drugs.
