Tips to Save Money
- GoodRx can reduce pharmacy costs significantly
- Mark Cuban's Cost Plus Drugs offers some generic contraceptives very cheaply
- Many generics at Walmart, Costco, or Target pharmacies run under $15/month
Nurx and The Pill Club are popular starting points because they bundle the consultation and delivery conveniently at lower price points.
