I got an email from Panera stating I could get a free bagel everyday this month. I got this offer in August too but never used it. I have yet to step into Panera though dd goes to one on her college campus often. Trying to stick with good eating habits as we get closer to the holidays.
Chipotle is doing a BOGO promotion this month.

2 liter coke is on sale at CVS drugs for $0.99. I had a $4 off coupon and they had hangtags on the bottles with $1 off if you bought 4. I bought 10 bottles of caffeine free diet coke for $4.02 with tax included. I was sure to leave some still on the shelf and alert @snowball !!
āā¦and I have a sewing kit and a basic understanding of how to use it.ā
Thatās pretty funny.
This doesnāt cost anythingā¦ and I donāt think Iām going to participateā¦ but a reminder/FYI just the sameā¦
Stop by Taco Bell today to get a free #DoritosLocosTaco from 2-6pm local time.
Upgraded from our old Bonavita to the new model, BV1900. I made the first pot of coffee in it this morning and holy smokes is it tasty! I didnāt think it could get any better than with the old Bonavita but I was wrong. 
We have a weird prescription plan, so its a good thing we donāt use it much. On expensive things it saves us a whopping $5. Well, I decided to try (ok any men reading, avert your eyes) restarting a hormone patch that had been unavailable for a year or 2. The price is $172 and change a month (which is also partly why Iād rather just have the occasional power surges). Well, it rang up at the pharmacy asā¦ zero cost
@jym626 --see if you can squeeze in two more refills before the end of the year. Many plans will allow a refill at 27 or 28 days. Who knows what it will cost on Jan 1st?
Oh I already plan on that!! I have it on my calendar to refill right after thanksgiving and then 3 weeks later ( think we can refill at 21 days or so) . Thats why I ran out to pick it up tonight!
@jym626 Can your doctor give you a longer term prescription to fill before the end of the year? Is that an option with the patch? I have pills I fill for a 90 day supply for example.
Any chance you reached some cap that led to the $0 charge?
He wrote it for 3 mos but the Rx co would only fill 1 mo.
@doschicos: (I know you can only answer as your experience informs you, but, question:)
If we sign on for the longer term prescription, for instance if we order through the mail-in service which is always a 90-day prescription, can that actually get filled for 90 days if, say, there is an impending change in the formulary of what the insurance keeps on its āapprovedā medicines list?
@Waiting2exhale Only speculation on my part as I havenāt experienced what you are referencing, but I think they would. I find it hard for them to justify not fulfilling a doctorās orders (prescription) at that time.
Unrelated but interesting, I have an older relative who faced somewhat of a reverse of that situation. She was visiting us and had to renew a prescription by mail and was currently in the ādoughnut holeā with medicare. It was an expensive prescription and was costing a small fortune. It was a 90 day refill. I told her to just get her doctor to prescribe a 30 day (it was at the end of the calendar year last year) to carry her through the remainder of the year. She was so happy I told her to do it as it saved her a bundle!
Our plan is funnyāsome drugs are FREE, but ONLY if you get a 90 day supply. For drugs I take daily, Iām fine with 90-day supply. I hit my out of pocket max for the year in June, so have had no copays since. H has Medicare and insurance so he has ni copays either. I will try to get Rx filled before the end of the year. Iāve been taking some of my Rx for 16 years, so donāt expect any changes.
Maybe we need another thread on RX plansā¦because generally speakingā¦those are NOT Good Buys of the Day.
Iām thinking free is pretty good.
Something DH got recently rang up as free when it previously cost a bit, which is why I knew to try the HRT patch. Score!
@jym626 ā time to refill anything you use, even if you are not fully out of stock, as there is no way of knowing how the formulary may change as of Jan 1st.
I would, @CT1417, if I took anything elseā¦ but I donāt. Nice problem to have.

Yes, formularies for rx can and do change quite frequently and especially on 1/1of a new calendar year.
