The High Cost of Healthcare...Drugstore.com to the rescue!

Hey Gang, here are a few things about the cost of healthcare. First of all, health insurance is an absolute neccessity. (Trust me, I have been without it and the retail costs are simply outrageous, and in some place, like Massachusetts, where I live, health insurance is mandatory!) But there are other ways to save, like a Flexible Spending Account. FSAs, as they are known, are a great way to maximize your tax savings on stuff you buy anyway, like bandaids, over the counter medicines, etc. Your tax advisor will have more information about it, but I think that they are a really smart idea.

The follow up question I have been researching is where to spend the FSA dollars in the most effective way. One place that I have found that has great prices is Drugstore.com.

You should really check out their prescription services too. They are cheaper than the prescription prices at Walgreens.


So, check out drugstore.com, check out an FSA and start saving some cash!
