You just never know when you might need the convenience of a pharmacy nearby. If you have kids and family, there’s all the more reason you might want one just around the corner from where you live for those times when you might need a cough mixture for your kid late at night, or a much-needed flu shot.

Walgreens is running a special discount on the Walgreens Prescription Savings Club for a limited time. Right now, you can subscribe for their annual family membership for as low as only $10 a year. Yup, for only $10, it covers everyone in your immediate family including dependents aged 22 and younger, and yes, even your family pet.

If you’re subscribing as an individual, your membership will only cost you $5 a year. Is that a deal or what? With your Prescription Savings Club membership, you can save on over 8,000 brand name and generic medication, and enjoy discounts on a whole lot of medical supplies and flu shots.

On top of that, you enjoy bonuses when you purchase Walgreens house brand product and photo finishing services. I think that the convenience and the savings are simply irresistible for the price of that annual membership alone.

Go like Walgreens on Facebook and follow Walgreens on Twitter to enjoy more savings and to be informed of new deals, promotions, and even better ways to save.

Strangely enough, the optician was not too keen to part with the pupillary distance reading. PD is the distance between the pupils of the eyes, center to center, measured in millimeters. This reading is required to ensure correct eyeglass fitment.

Apparently opticians are increasingly reluctant to part with your PD reading. It’s a growing trend as many opticians are finding that their customers are taking their prescription to have their eyeglasses made online very inexpensively at places like ZenniOptical.com, and they don’t like that!

So many opticians are realizing this so they’re charging for the prescriptions or part of. Sure they can charge for their eye test service but they should have their customer’s interests at heart and not withhold their PDs or their prescription.

The customer should be allowed to choose who makes their eyeglasses and if they can save money and find a bigger selection of trendy frames to choose from, I say why not?

I’ve had to turn to online shopping recently because I don’t have a car and can’t get around to the mall as easily as I used to. I have a bunch of back to school shopping to do for my kids which can’t wait. So I turned on my computer and started researching and comparing prices.

And I have to say these Savings coupons that I found have saved me more than I dared to imagine. I just go to Savings.com to compare prices on the items I need, and there’s all my favorite brands and stores right there.

I ordered a backpack from eBags using a coupon from this site and I’m really happy with the savings. It’s so exciting to see they have almost never-ending lists of coupons all waiting to save me money. And right now, I could do with every little bit of savings I can get as back to school shopping can be pretty heavy on the wallet.
