Kim answers your questions

Using GoodRx with Medicare

This morning you sent an email touting GoodRx. I am sure it saves a lot of people some change, but since I have Medicare coverage I cannot use their coupons.

Now, this isn't quite a question, but I knew I needed to address it. You can use GoodRx! To be clear, GoodRx can’t be used in combination with Medicare, but it can be used in place of Medicare. And depending on your medication and pharmacy, you may end up with a cheaper price using GoodRx instead.

With GoodRx, you can find discounts up to 80% for your prescriptions at over 70,000 pharmacies, like CVS, Kroger, Walgreens, Rite-Aid, Vons and Walmart.

Go to GoodRx.com/Kim and start saving up to 80% on your prescriptions today!

Another happy customer

Yesterday I again went to buy printer cartridges for my HP desk jet printer. Another $55 for a black and tricolor cartridge that will last me just over a week. The aisle in the store was crowded and to avoid waiting I went around to the other end walking past the new printers. I turned my head and caught a glance of Epson EcoTank printers sitting on the shelf. Long story short, I bought the ET-4800 because I had heard you promoting Epson EcoTank printers. Wow, am I impressed with the features and this printer! Thank you for honestly promoting them.

I'm so glad to hear this! The EcoTank comes with a ridiculous amount of ink right in the box — enough to print a whopping 6,000 color pages.

Check out Epson EcoTank printers at a Best Buy, OfficeMax or Office Depot near you, or shop online at Epson.com/EcoTankKim.
