We use GoodRx for one-off prescription, mostly (e.g antibiotics). The two exceptions are Ambien and an OTC allergy med insurance won't cover.
I create an excel spreadsheet during open enrollment every year comparing Costco to every plan available on a drug by drug basis (including mail order v. brick and mortar, find the total spend for the cheapest combination for each plan just to decide which plan. GoodRx isn't usually enough cheaper to make it worth it to add it to the spreadsheet. But when we make the first order for any med for the new year, we check GoodRx - and same thing for new prescriptions. Sometimes we get a surprise bonus. Yeah, I'm a bit obsessive about it.
The other different thing, although not really a surprise, is that only half of last year's plans still exist.
I was surprised at how much less variety the plans hsd this year. Only about $1000,from top to bottom.
