I have a couple of prescriptions; generic, blood pressure whatnots. And when I go pick them up from Safeway in Colorado I can either:
1. Show my insurance card and get a one-month refill for both at $20
or
2. Somehow, which is beyond any logic or reasoning, I can say, "I don't want to use insurance" (which the pharmacist recommended one day) and get a 3-month supply of both for $20.

I don't know how to explain it. I don't want to try. I should probably send my general practitioner a huge bottle of something for hooking me up on a generic med.
