Walgreens Pharmacy Savings Club

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Have you heard about the latest prescription savings club to hit the streets? It is actually at your local Walgreens store!

The Prescription Savings Club at Walgreens offers discounts on over 8 thousand brand name and all generic medications. It also offers discounts on diabetic supplies, nebulizers, pet prescriptions, and even on your flu shots. There are also bonuses for when you purchase Walgreens brand products and even on photo finishing services. You can learn about this program and also find out about new sales by liking Walgreens on Facebook or following Walgreens on Twitter.

Walgreens is currently offering a discount on this program. So sign up today before the price goes up! If you are an individual it is only $20 for the whole year. If you have a family it is not much more money. You can cover yourself, your spouse, any dependents under the age of 22 and even your pets for only $35 for the whole year.

If you pay for more than one prescription in the year this is likely a very good decision on your part to sign up for this plan. Especially if you have kids who both need flu shots and bring home every cold that runs through their school.

Pimp your Cube!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Contest Factory for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

The Pimp My Cube Contest is looking for the worst, most horrible workspace in the US. All you have to do is make a quick video showing your cubicle / work area and explaining why it is deserving of a makeover and of the Contest Factory to come and improve your circumstances.

Once you have entered your video you will want to get your friends, family, and coworkers to vote on your video to help you win the contest. The prizes include:

a new high end computer system
a new desk, chair, and decorations
a new entertainment package with high end stereo, espresso machine, and more

As of right now no one has uploaded a video so the chances of winning are very good. It is really easy to upload a video to the site using your phone or webcam. The video should be fun and witty - but anything goes. The better the story, the funnier the video, the better your chances are of winning. A second prize of a $200 gift card will be awarded to a registered user chosen by random drawing after the contest period.

The contest is open from 12/5/11 to 1/31/12 at midnight. So get your video in asap.

Support Walgreens Now!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

On December 31 the contract expired between Walgreens and Express Scripts. This means that those who have insurance that deals with Express Scripts will no longer be able to use Walgreens to fill their scripts. So if you currently pick up your scripts at Walgreens, you may want to confirm that your insurance has not removed their coverage of Walgreen's services. This is enraging customers because they will not have to possibly drive further and use pharmacies with less convenient hours, and certainly without the discountsWalgreen always offers it's customers.

Walgreen's attempts to renegotiate this contract involved an attempt to help support military and military families by negotiating a better contract for Tricare, which serves the military. This was a failed attempt onWalgreen's part as Express Script would not allow WG to put a lock on rates so prescription rates could not increase further.

In the meantime, Walgreen's is trying to help the affected customers by offering a special discount on annual membership for its Prescription Savings Club at Walgreens. If you are effected or enraged by the situation feel free to contact your local media to let them know what is going on and that you aren't happy about it. Support Walgreens in their fight against riding medical costs by following Walgreens on Twitter or by liking Walgreens on Facebook.

Is what you are getting straight talk?

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Straight Talk for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I love the idea of not being on a contract with my cell phone company. I have had so many problems over the past 10+ years of having a cellphone, where I couldn't get them to resolve something and their answer turned into a nice way to put "youre on a contract anyway, youre not going anywhere, we have you where we want you". But really, everything you need is available without contracts, hidden and inflated fees.

Just imagine the money you would save switching to Straight Talk and cutting your bill in half? What would you do with that money? If it were me, I would probably take the money I would be saving and put it towards redoing the floors in my house. Or maybe put it towards a new car for my husband, or even better to sponsor a child overseas. mom knows best, Straight Talk offers great connectivity, without breaking the bank and only deals quality phones like Kyocera, LG, Samsung, Nokia, & Motorola. Unlimited service offers unlimited data, text, mms, talk all for only $45 per month. Not only are there no activation fees, cancellation fees, or surprise fees, but 411 calls are included free of charge. Straight Talk International is an affordable way to make international calls with a flexible prepaid calling service.

Reconditioned phones are offered from $10 with cameras, mp3 players, mobile web access and even bluetooth capability. These phones are great for young users who aren't ready to make a commitment but still want to call a friend. They have got me Hook, line and sinker since they really do offer everything you need.
