Getting your prescriptions filled at your local Walgreens
This post brought to you by Walgreens. All opinions are 100% mine.
The ability to get their prescriptions filled at their local Walgreens has just gotten little tricky for some patients who use Express Scripts as their PBM (Prescription Benefits Manager). Because negotiations between Walgreens and Express Scripts have not gone anywhere as of January 2012 those customers who use Express Scripts will no longer be able to get their prescriptions filled at Walgreens. Even our country’s military who use Tricare will now be forced to find another pharmacy. This is unfortunate for many reasons one of them being the disruption of the relationship of the pharmacist and patient. Many patients rely on their local pharmacists as a source of information and now those who rely on their local Walgreens pharmacist will have to find other solutions. Not to mention the hassle of finding another pharmacy that is open 24 hours and offers many of the services that Walgreens offers.
Walgreens understands the patients are going to be upset and are trying to help by offering a special discount on their Prescription Savings Club at Walgreens now through the end of the month. If you are effected by this change you can follow Walgreens on Twitter or Walgreens on Facebook to stay up to date. You can also contact your local TV or radio station and let them know you are unhappy. In the end the customer is ultimately impacted with no savings that are projected by Express Scripts not contracting with Walgreens. The pharmacies are not making a lot of money on the prescription refills as evident by many locally owned pharmacies going out of business. Everyone’s reimbursement for health care is decreasing so Walgreens has prided itself on offering more of a one stop shop in order to help offer their customers savings and convenience.

We have had several friends over the last few years purchase manufactured homes and have really enjoyed the size and quality that has been built into their homes. It allowed them to have some additional space and bedrooms that was not possible because of their budget on older homes that were for sale. So if you are looking to upgrade your current living conditions you may want to check out the new look in homes and you may be surprised to see that your house payment is close to what you are paying in rent.

A new LG DoublePlay for Christmas
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of LG DoublePlay™ for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
If you are thinking about what to get your spouse or teenager for this Christmas why not look at the new LG DoublePlay™ available exclusively from T-Mobile. Offering a very cool dual customized touch screen and QWERTY keyboard it will help your special someone stay connected to their friends and family. I generally txt about 1000 times in a given a month so a phone that offers easier input to quickly respond to friends and co-workers would be huge. Many of the larger touch screen phones still are cumbersome if you have ever used one and plus the fact the large displays are easier to damage.
Equipped with the latest Android OS 2.3 you are sure to experience greater productivity while surfing the web and talking to your friends. And because you have a dual screen you can be surfing and texting at the same. In the spirit of those that drive do not attempt this while driving. I would like to hear from our readers on how many texts per month you send and what would a great phone like the LG DoublePlay mean to you. They are all on sale now at T-Mobile and with their unlimited calling and texting plan you can chat away all day long. So stay connected to your friends via Facebook, Twitter, and check in to places all in one easy device.
