Today I spent $250 on a 4 month supply of birth control.  That’s $750 a year.  Before the pharmacy at my school closed because of budget cuts, it was $540 a year.  Unfortunately, I can’t find a prescription discount card that covers my pills.

Despite the outrageous cost (you’d think the pills with less hormone in them would be cheaper.  They aren’t.) it’s worth the money – without the pills I spent a week every month feeling like I’m in labor.

But I wish I could have spent that money on these instead:
