How can I save money on a Lipitor prescription?

I use only Lipitor 20m. I'm currently enrolled with AARP and finding them currently charging me a deductable of $295 annually and $51 additional every 90 days. How can I save money?

Hasn't Lipitor gone generic? Call you doctor or pharmacist and ask. If so, get the generic. That will help a lot. If your state has Target or Walmart or other stores that sell a generic of this, you can buy it and not run it through your insurance. If the charge is only $8 or whatever, you will save. I'd check both options and ask the pharmacist for advice.
