Walgreens Prescription Savings Club

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

Many people will be sure affected by failed Walgreens new negotiation with Express Scripts. So Walgreens is no longer part of Express-Scripts' pharmacy provider network as of Jan 1st. Express Scripts was unwilling to negotiate new terms that would keep Walgreens customers satisfied, such as holding rates steady, 90 day refills at the pharmacy and discounted rates for military personnel.

 

As of the start of 2012, Express Scripts will no longer provide in-network coverage for prescriptions filled at Walgreens. Patients are going through the added hassle of changing new pharmacists, driving farther and not seeing the rates going down.

 

You can learn more about the details by reading this AP news article: Walgreens and Express Script Negotiation Details

 

In this connection, Walgreens is doing everything they can to ease the patients burden by offering special discount. The Walgreens is reducing by 75 percent the annual enrollment fee for its Walgreens Prescription Savings Club—a discount program covering all generic medications and over 8,000 name brands—according to a Walgreens statement. This promotion is aimed to help customers affected by the ongoing contract dispute between Walgreens and pharmacy benefits manager Express Scripts Inc.

 

Normal yearly fees for the savings club cost $25 per person or $35 per family. During January, Walgreens offers the program at $5 per individual and $10 per family for eligible customers.

 

Besides we can all show our support to Walgreens by simply following Walgreens on Twitter and become a fan of Walgreens on Facebook.

 

If you are affected by this, please contact your local media and let them know how you are being affected.

The New LG DoublePlay!

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

The ever-improving technological advances of cell phones have not only made the average person's life more convenient, they have allowed for social connections of various sorts to come to fruition. The improvements in cellular technology have allowed for communication and connection in ways that were previously not possible.

There are a lot of cell phones on the market today, but the LG DoublePlay™ seems to stand out above the rest. Only at T-Mobile you can get the LG DoublePlay™ which is an impressive dual touchscreen with a full QWERTY keyboard that slides out. The LG Double Play works amazingly while watching YouTube on the bigger screen and texting on the smaller, or blogging and Facebooking, or watching and surfing the web. And if you want to switch which screen shows which app, no problem! There's a little upwards-pointing triangle that, when pressed, will switch apps and screens.

 

The LG Double Play is the ultimate social media smart phone and allows you to crank out communications via any social network or through Cloud Text or Group Text. I generally send out about 500 texts per month, but I do thousands of tweets or Facebook updates from my mobile devices so having a full keyboard is essential for me to communicate quickly and professionally.  
 

How often do you perform social media communications on your smartphone?  Have you looked at the LG Doubleplay yet to see what it can do for you?

 

Leave me a comment telling me how many hours you spend texting or engaging with your Social Networks on your phone and how you think The LG Double Play would change the way you interact.

It is time for the ultimate showdown! There is a Puppies vs. Babies online contest going on right now to see which is cuter? I get dizzy because they are all so cute, cuddly, and adorable and it will break my heart not to vote to all of them. I just can’t decide!  Why do they all have to be so darn cute!

However, since it is a contest we only have to vote for one. So, you must be wondering who I voted for. Well, I say babies are cuter all the way. Let me clarify why.

Being a mom, I just feel wrong saying that puppies are cuter than babies. I love puppies, but babies just have that way of making your heart melt! I also can’t help but get baby fever every time I see such a cute baby.

Check out the Puppies vs. Babies online contest to watch all of the adorable viral videos and GET YOUR VOTE IN! The winner be it a puppy or baby will win a prize of 5,000 dollars. So folks who are you voting for or if you choose who you think is cuter let me know in the comment here.

The deadline to get your votes in is November 23rd.

Thanks!

Anyone else feel this way?

Do you get closer to your mother after you have children?

When I was a child I did not understand why my mother did the things she did. I was very resentful and felt like she was being mean. Now as a parent I am more understanding. I know why she did and said the things she did. It has also made me closer to my mom. I think it is because we have something in common which is being a mother and having a daughter who does not understand. Anyone else feel this way?

Straight Talk is a registered trademark of Tracfone which is owned by America Movil. This company brags hundreds of millions of subscribers throughout North and South America. Straight Talk is a monthly plan offering, whereas Net10 and Tracfone offer minutes on a pay-as-you-go scale.

Pros: Straight Talk offers a cheap monthly plan which provides ample minutes, data, and messaging limits.

Straight Talk cell phones are available now with an amazing plan! The new plan is Tracfone's version of unlimited for a great low price of only $30 a month for 1000 minutes OR $45 a month for full unlimited! This is one of the best new plans available to consumers considering the average cell phone customer uses about 700 minutes and spends over $70.

Straight talk is breaking the cell phone industry carriers by offering the best rates for Android on Straight Talk – with no contract required.  When other major wireless companies will nail you to the wall, Straight Talk does just the opposite; they offer flexibility and freedom.

Most of the real Straight Talk customer proved that it is way cheaper to Call a friend or a family member anywhere in the US or even abroad.    According to the few testimonial videos that I watched formerly, you won't get hidden fees or surprise charges with Straight Talk.  You won't even experience a Hook, line and sinker, but instead, you will get all that you need in a cell phone.
