Prescription prices can often put a real dent in your pocketbook, and with cold and flu season on the horizon, it’s a great time to start thinking about ways that your family can save some cash.

One easy way to accomplish this is with BigAppleRX – a discount prescription program from the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. There’s no up-front cost or annual fees to receive the card, and anybody who lives, works, or visits New York City is eligible.

The process is simple. Visit the BigAppleRX website to print your discount prescription card, or fill out their online form to request a plastic card. Once you have that card in hand, you’re free to start saving money on prescriptions at more than 2,000 pharmacies across the 5 boroughs – including neighborhood staples like Rite Aid, Neergaard, and CVS.

One card covers your entire family, and while you can’t use the card in combination with existing insurance, it’s a good backup for medications or supplies that insurance might not pick up.

For more information on discounts, or to find a list of participating pharmacies, visit the BigAppleRX website.
