Here's a way to save money on your prescription drugs -- by buying drugs online. The details from Money magazine:
You may find the best deal of all at an online drugstore, particularly if you order more than one prescription at a time. Recently, for example, you could order a 90-day supply of Lipitor, a popular cholesterol-lowering drug, for $306, or as much as 30% off typical retail prices, at drugstore.com. To make sure a site is legit, check to see that it carries the seal of the Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Sites (VIPPS), a quality-control program sponsored by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (nabp.net).
Yeah, that whole "make sure the site is legit" part seems kind of important to me. I'm sure there are online drug scammers just like there are scammers in every other area of the web. The only difference with this one is that if something goes wrong, you could die. Personally, I'd be very, very careful.

Asking for drug samples from your doctor has worked well for me in the past.
