It could be worse.

Amazon US price for one box of 5mg:

EDIT: That’s the self-pay price.

$1k for a 5mg pen…that is steep.

4 pens, actually. They come in boxes of 4. Also, I’m showing a no-insurance price. Amazon quotes a typical out-of-pocket insurance price of $40 per box, although that will vary considerably by insurance plan.

Were you quoting per-pen prices? That would bring the UK price close to the US price…and that doesn’t seem right.

(I haven’t tried quoting Mounjaro in Canada, but my/my wife’s expensive non-generic pills are generally available in Canada at prices where the self-pay price is slightly lower than our with-insurance copays.)

The pricing over here is a bit different.

I took a screenshot. Its per pen and they load it up with different strengths.

This is all outside of insurance though. You get it prescribed privately but insurer does not cover yet in the UK IIRC.

I think they set it up this way to start low and then build up to your effective dose. They make a higher profit margin on the lower doses.

Then damn, that Brazilian price IS insane.

I bought a gallon of gas today. I think the last time I got gas was maybe September.

I need to take a couple of days and refocus on a few fronts, and to catch up on things here. I feel way out of touch on too much stuff.

I was going to take you up on this, but then I saw the latest match and thought “nah, JFG has it under control.”

Heathrow Airport has shut down due to a fire and it looks like it might be closed for a day or two.

Going to be absolute chaos for the next week or so

Why do they call them tumblers (speaking of drinking vessels)? The last thing you want them to do is tumble.

There’s a new flavor of M&Ms, peanut butter & jelly. It’s not going to be good, but I bought a small pack anyway. I’m going to regret that later when I have it.

They’re okay, but I would not buy again. :thumbmiddle:

I saw that there’s a PB&J coffee creamer . . . I love a good PBJ . . . but not caffeinated.

I want to know why good creamer never comes in chocolate. The only chocolate creamers I ever see are those shitty Coffee Mate or International Delight ones.

I think the closest is Chobani peppermint mocha.

Yup, but that’s seasonal, and I don’t always want the minty notes in my coffee.

next best thing is when I pour out a pack of hot chocolate and then brew a K-cup into it to make a lazy mocha
