Wayne,

Here's a tip to save money when buying lipitor and other drugs. Get your 
doctor to prescribe the largest dose of the drug. And buy it from 
www.drugstore.com. They bragged in an email to their customers recently that 
their everyday prices are lower than any of the new Medicare plans for 
seniors. Drugstore.com sells Lipitor in 10mg pills ($65 for a month), 20mg 
pills ($94), 40mg pills ($94), and 80mg pills ($94). My prescription 
specifies 80mg pills, take 1/8 of a pill daily. In actual practice, my 
doctor having pointed out that Lipitor takes 48 hours to flush out of the 
system, I take 1/4 pill every other day. So Lipitor costs me $11 a month.

The other pills are generics and cost pennies. Probably cost less than 
Gerry's ingredients despite their ugly names.

We spend way more on coffee than anything else.
