Pharmacy price differences in one city

Nothing here sells anything and nothing here takes a commission, which is why I trust the numbers people quote in this circle.

My honest experience is that the cost has been the hardest sustained part of this, harder than any symptom.

I would say do not go without something else that matters to make this work. I did for a while and it was not a good trade.

This is the post I wish had existed when I was looking for it.

I found that being honest with my partner about the number was harder than the number itself, and better once done.

What I got wrong was not budgeting for the first six months properly, because that period cost more than the steady state does.

Something worth knowing: prices moved over two years and I only noticed because I was tracking. Worth checking occasionally.

What it displaced in my budget was the honest question, and answering it properly took me an evening and was worth doing.

I paused for two months when things got tight and then restarted, and that is a completely ordinary thing to have done.

Reading this at half past six with a cup of tea and nodding at every line.

Coming back to say I have kept it going for two years, that it has been tight in places, and that the planning is what made it possible.
