So Petunia got me thinking about getting my prescriptions through our mail order program. I have never checked into it before. But I found that I can save $122 over 3 months. That is over $40 a month! The problem is coming up with the money for a 3 month supply of all my meds at once, about $330. So I paid an extra $100 to the credit card and put the expense on there. Then when I would normally pay for the prescriptions I will pay the credit card instead. The prescriptions portion of the charge card should be paid off within a couple of months and I will continue to pay the normal payments to the card plus any extra I can come up with.

It's true you will pay some interest, but if you pay the $330 off in full over 3 months, it will cost substantially less than $122 in interest. (I calculate that if you pay $110 per month and your CC is charging you 25%, it will cost $14.53 total interest over 3 months). Once you have whittled your credit card balance down to zero, it won't cost any interest at all. Just keep moving in that direction.
How about keeping track of your CC balance in your sidebar? I'm excited to see it moving down. Probably not as excited as you are.
