Bloody annoying! I don't have perscriptions but Steve does every month as if they are not expensive enough, especially as he has to chuck half the bottle of eye drops away!!  Surprised

Are you able to get a pre payment card, this may work out cheaper if you have to get something every month, both hubby and me have one:
