Median sale price was just under 700K in Falmouth in recent data even with astronomical mortgage rates. It's also important to note that we have created an incredible amount of money + wealth in financial assets in the last 10 yrs. Even with the recent bear market in growth stocks, Apple was trading below $20 a share in 2013 and is now 130ish after having spiked all the way to $180 in 2021 The S&P 500 has more than tripled since the low in 2012. So when put in context, I'm not very surprised that houses have gone way up in nominal terms.

The people who have truly been f---ed over, are the people who have been making the same income for the past 10 yrs without promotions or wage increases and benefits largely unchanged. Folks living hand-to-mouth also have very little participation in financial assets like stocks/real estate, so this is truly a triple whammy when you also factor in COL increases due to food/energy/rent.

I’m originally from North Jersey, I moved to Mass when I was 4. So I inevitably slip into a Tony Soprano-like rant including many a “muthafucking cockshuka!!!” I’m not proud of it, but it’s who I am.

I like the proper term of ASSHOLES all CAPS

Heck people native here still don't know how to drive in it.

At first glance on good rx- adderall looks like it’s $23 at stop and shop and $49 at CVS. Same script.

That’s what’s so cool about good rx, it shows you the prices of the pharmacies. No phone calls necessary!

fucking flatties

I don't know. But there IS a word for the attitude of people who think AWD makes them invincible.

Subris.

Those people are not from New England though? Typically they drive those jeeeeeeeps and trucks with a false sense of AWD security.

I don't think its possible to be born here and not know how to drive in the snow?

Depending on what bluecross says I may try that! I’ve looked it up, but it can’t hurt to call around to different pharmacies to see if they have better pricing in general!

Hmm you should still use good rx to look up the different pricing.

I definitely use good rx for my controlled substance prescription (Ritalin) at stop and shop and it’s like $12 for a one month supply.

Good luck!

Big Y has always had a good supply.

Jagoffs

That sounds tough. What happened?

Where abouts in mass are you guys? I'm not seeing any shortages here in south eastern mass.

Yeah, a lot of people I know call em "flatlands".

Connectic*nts

I looked it up cause I was curious, it looks like even though it’s controlled it’s not as highly controlled as Adderall so maybe that’s why?

or jamochas!

I got new cards with the new rx info, but according to BCBS the new rx info didn’t affect the actual cost or anything, it’s just because it’s through a new pharmacy benefits manager, that’s what’s making all this so confusing, like as to why it just about doubled in cost

The problem is they won’t let me use goodrx in Mass in place of insurance for the adderall because it’s a controlled substance, I called the pharmacy to ask. Apparently it’s a law here or something
