Nicotine replacement therapy, part 3

So, I did a rough tally, and it seems that my nicotine lozenges cost about as much as it would if I were still smoking the cigs.

Of course, I have to look for the deals, such as the aforementioned eBay score.

Also, I ran out of the free samples the doctor gave me, while still awaiting deliver of the eBay goods, forcing me to seek out an in-store bargain.

I decided upon a generic equivalent at a local chain pharmacy. It was about $8 cheaper than the name brand version, and offered a $10 rebate in the form of (limited) store credit. The cashier informed me that it would not apply toward prescriptions, alcohol or tobacco. He added that the latter was not a problem, to which I answered, "Hopefully, yeah!"
