Good thoughts from SwatSurgeon - an alternative would be to alternate days of taking 1 pilll with days taking 1/2 pill - you'd save 10 pills every 30 days that could be rotated out to have an emergency stock and may be better tolerated. I believe the 175mcg pill is scored.
Alternatively, many large national pharmacies have cheap rates for common drugs and Synthroid is almost assured to be on that list. I checked Wal-Mart - it has Synthroid - all standard doses - at a price of $4 for 30 day and $10 for 90-day supplies. Shop around and find a local pharmacy that has a deal like this. I'm not sure if these programs qork with your drug prescription coverage or independent of it. A quick phone call to the doctor could get you a fresh prescription called in for a 90-day supply with several refills. It would be easy to get this filled and keep on hand for an emergency/disaster.
Regardless, make sure to swap out the saved pills for new pills every 2-3 months so as to not worry about the drug's shelf-life.
