TIPS THIS WEEK

Norm and Jana shared info about OVERPRICED RX DRUGS – many, even generic Rx, may carry escalated costs. Everyone should always shop around!!! This was a long email so I am highlighting a few tips. Costco is one place that consistently charge very LITTLE over the pharmacy cost for their generic drugs. Their prices are consistent with on-line listings and you don’t have to be a member to buy Rx there. Relay at the door that you wish to use the pharmacy, and they’ll let you in. I am also sure that Wal*Mart, Walgreen's, Sam’s Club and several others also sell at reduced prices. Bottom line is YOU MUST SHOP AROUND!!! Do not buy in the first store you stop. Read the full story on overcharging HERE.

PROMOS THIS WEEK

RV University is RV Education 101's ‘SISTER SITE’ where RVEd101.com stores a great deal of content for all RVers. They have launched a short and to the point weekly e-newsletter with an RV University theme – this is in addition to the regular RV Education 101 monthly newsletter. Dawn and Mark are aware how much everyone hates receiving weekly e-mail notifications that are nothing more than sales ads. This publication will not fit that outline. "RV UNIVERSITY THIS WEEK" is a short newsletter offering an interesting RV article, tip, trick, video clip or valuable RV advice.

FLYING J RESTRUCTURING Last week I reported that – “many have read info about Flying J being in Chapter 11. I’m happy to relay that Flying J Truckstops are NOT closing”. Full story link explains that Flying J's will REMAIN OPEN AND CONDUCT BUSINESS as usual during the restructuring of their parent companies. Read story HERE...

John H recently sent this update – It’s true that Flying J may not be going out of business, but for the last few months it seems like the gas stations are on a suicide mission. John has been up and down I-75 (Ontario to Florida) three times this winter – he was disappointed to find that the FLYING J GAS PRICES were almost always higher than the competition several exits away. Besides that, their computers are 15 years old and he had to line up inside for a receipt. Here's a tip. On driving days if you'll be passing a Flying J, check prices HERE – FLYING J LISTS IT'S GAS, PROPANE AND DIESEL PRICES FOR ALL STATIONS. This way you can compare gas prices as you head down the interstate. Loyalty has its price – the lowest price!
