eighteen weeks in, I started a note on my phone: date, quoted price, days from call to pickup, and whether the fridge box was actually there. Last month was $104 and 11 days.
This month, the same prescription was $96 at one counter and $143 at another, with a 3-day wait versus 9 days. The pharmacy stock page said 'in stock' at 8:10am and 'backordered' by 2pm, so I called at 4 and got a different answer.
I’m not loyal to any one counter now; I just want the shortest gap between refill due date and bag in hand. I also noticed the price changes more than the wait times do.
Does anyone else keep a fill-time column, or is it just me?
