piggy bankWith the cost of inhalers continuing to climb, I am always looking for ways to cut costs. I am lucky to be able to travel and vacation and always stop in at pharmacies in Mexico or Canada to check prices. I also recently ordered from the online pharmacy that I had heard about based in India (www.alldaychemist.com).
