Also just FYI, taking a large dose of certain birth control meds works similarly to Plan b though is somewhat less effective and has higher side effects. But it works in a pinch. It’s called the Yuzpe method. Look it up.

I'm a 50 year old woman who's had tied tube's for 24 years, and I still bought some already and set up a subscription to keep getting them monthly until I can't anymore for anyone who needs them. Fuck them right where it counts. I hate these bastards.
freakdiablo
This both makes me happy and scares me. I'm happy because it's needed. I'm scared because it's needed...
kimwimgoddess
I have a membership, I'd love to buy it, and have it to mail it to people in texas etc who need it. Is it forbidden in those states yet?
technicallycorrect
There's a good way to check which states "allow" what here www.plancpills.org
And here's more info

Other pharmacies can order cheap generic plan B, ask your pharmacist.

For now. How many days until this too is banned?
StandingAgain
Not sure but you can buy it now and have it on hand just check the shelf life.
ThrowAwayAcct0000
I'd stock up. I imagine around year 3 of Trump's presidency, unopened plan B will be very valuable for re-sale.
DewiMorgan
Don't be that guy. If you can afford to buy it now and hold it, then you can afford to give it away when needed, or at worst resell at cost. Don't prey on the desperate.
HoSpanky
My price would be wildly different depending on how they answer “who did you vote for”.
iwantthepinkbook
They aren’t going to answer you honestly at that point.
arewenotkingsandqueenstogether
Men can buy it too!
Jiumph
Was wondering this. Thanks, Friend!
Sorrontis
I hope its true
StandingAgain
Not sure how long it will stay that way.
PineappleLoopsBroether
I know it says no membership, but it should also say in order to get past the card checkers at the entrance, that you are going to customer service to get a membership
gablestout
No, you tell them you are going to the pharmacy. They will let you in. The Costco pharmacy is open to all, not just members. The only difference is you don't get the member-discounted price without a member card.
(Source: I used to work for Costco. This is policy)
hwatL4bloopy
How do you get Costco check out to honor your gift card without membership card?
gablestout
They scan the gift card. No membership required. Also, just show the gift card when entering
hwatL4bloopy
Literally my Costco will demand a membership and stone wall you.
PineappleLoopsBroether
Ohhhhhh ok
stayingalive4life
While I hope this is true, I have certain degree of skepticism that anyone without a membership will be able to enter a Costco much less make it to the pharmacy counter to do this. I mean you can possibly hope the person at the door will be understanding (assuming they won’t deny you entry and use Costco’s policy as justification) but that would require some degree of explanation? I’m hoping I’m wrong but just skeptical based on Costco’s recent policies.
Oblok
Enter through the exit. (It's allowed, that's where the membership sign-up is.) You can then walk the front of the store to the pharmacy.
mohavewolfpup
The only Achilles heel to it now is they are rolling out scanners at the front due to abuse of cards being passed around. If you want to avoid that confrontation, head to the exit door and say you want a membership. Walk past the desk and to the food court area/bathrooms and then swing a right at self check
gablestout
Anyone can use the Costco pharmacy, but you need a member card to get the member discounted prices. Just tell the gate guard you are going to the pharmacy. This has been policy since day 1 of the Costco Pharmacy.
OverwhelmingSurplusOfDiggity
Happily enough you’re wrong. No membership is required for pharmacy access.

stayingalive4life
Good, I’m glad I am if it means a greater good is accomplished or possible.
Noevilgifs
You cannot keep someone from going to the pharmacy solely on the fact they are not a costco customer
As your doctor can send any prescriptions to costco not just members
All you need to do is say ' im going to puck up a perscription' and theyll waive you through
Same with the optometrist
Noevilgifs
Cause what. Youre gonna buy something without a membership? How? You need to scan your card at the register or theyll not check you out
nero4ty2
Which recent policies? I’ve been a member for years and haven’t seen any changes p
gablestout
They're probably talking about how Costco is finally cracking down on card-sharing and enforcing membership for the food court. Policy has not changed, just the method by which they enforce the policies. Now, when you enter a warehouse, you scan your card to verify a valid membership, at which time it displays the picture of the cardholder for the gate guard/greeter to verify that it's not a "borrowed" card.
nero4ty2
None of the warehouses around me do that, my 5yo just waves it around
gablestout
They started rolling the new scanners out earlier this year. They have over 600 warehouses in the US...it'll take some time, but they are coming
hopguy
Interesting their are other exemptions to their membership policies. In California it is illegal to require a membership to buy alcohol. You can just walz up, say I'm just buying alcohol and you can go get that cheep booze. No membership required.

Just to inform everyone, plan B has a shelf life of 4 years.
rbudrick
Drug shelf lives are generally bs. Is this one? I dunno.
bassaro
Does that work retroactively?
Johnsky
I have yet to find a time travelling pill.
Hortman68
Can you increase its shelf life by putting it in the freezer or refrigerator?
fbastian7
No, levonorgestrel (the active ingredient) is sensitive to extreme temperatures. Plan B should be stored at room temperature.
Hortman68
TIL. Good to know. Thanks for reply.
kilgoth1
Might just stock up and sell it real cheap online. You know... because.
InDubiousBattle
Follow storage guidelines if you have to keep it long term. Your hot showers make your bathroom cabinet humid and warm. You really want Plan B to be fully effective when you need it
Johnsky
Closet, not cabinet.
billstranger
That's good, since you won't be able to buy it legally for at least 4 years
WizardofAnus
That's what they told me about the clown in chief.
Idontneedrealfacts
oh, he is way past ripe
Scar1203
That's probably the way the GOP prefers it at this point. Now he's a handy little incoherent puppet they can 25th amendment out due to dementia whenever it's convenient.
Idontneedrealfacts
or just wait until it isnt one of his idiot supporters that takes the shot, but someone with conviction.
Scar1203
It honestly wouldn't change the core issue that is project 2025. Vance is a more useful figurehead for them anyways, he can more eloquently soothe the masses as their very rights are stripped from them. At least Trump enrages the left, Vance won't make that mistake at least not to the same degree.
Nalianna
perhaps in USA. the one in my top drawer has about 8.
Johnsky
I used generic brands as the basis.
TargaX
Also, vacuum seal and refrigerate medications to make them last for years more.
fbastian7
NO please don’t refrigerate Plan B. Freezing Plan B may affect its effectiveness. The active ingredient, levonorgestrel, is sensitive to extreme temperatures, and freezing could potentially degrade the hormone, reducing its ability to prevent pregnancy effectively. Plan B should be stored at room temperature, between 68°F and 77°F (20°C and 25°C), to maintain its efficacy.
Johnsky
Room temperature or slightly uncomfortable at that point where you kick off the sheets, but then go grab them cause the draft was more than you expected, so you play the uncomfortable balancing game until you finally get up and turn the fan on.
fbastian7
That’s what Plan B needs to do all its life.
EmeraldLight
They also have a low threshold for success the more you weigh.
