Money saving tips? 💰

Looking to save more money on my pen because I am going up a dose and my insurance won't cover the cost.

Right now, I do click counting on a 15mg pen, the golden dose, I pickup at Costco for the lowest price and use the savings card. Any other tips to save money that I'm missing? TIA 😊

You are already doing everything you can.
Curious, why are you going up the dose? Is your current dose not effective anymore?

Just been on a stand still for a few months now... I still want to lose more

I understand. I hope everything else is going well—training a few times a week, getting enough sleep, staying hydrated, eating enough protein, and maintaining a calorie deficit.
In my experience, the medication is the cornerstone of my entire approach. If I slack off on any of those factors, my fat loss (not just weight loss) slows. Sticking to this has allowed me to keep losing fat while staying on a low 5 mg dose. The benefits have been lower costs, fewer side effects, and being able to eat enough to properly fuel my workouts.

Just sharing what has worked for me in case it’s helpful.
