There’s no prescription for peace of mind. But you can find it with a click using GoodRx. Since 2011, the healthcare savings and information resource has made healthcare more affordable and convenient by offering users free access to transparent and lower prices for both brand and generic medications, regardless of insurance status.  

If you’ve picked up a prescription lately, you may have had sticker shock. And you may also have noticed vast differences in pricing from one pharmacy to another. Prescription prices can actually vary upwards of $100 depending on the pharmacy.  

But here’s the sigh of relief: GoodRx finds low prices at no cost to you. With GoodRx, Americans have collectively saved over $60 billion, all while being empowered to take control of their heath and easily find options to suit their budgets and needs.  

GoodRx also offers easy access to consultations with a licensed healthcare provider via GoodRx Care, as well as comprehensive healthcare research and information on GoodRx Health. Think — everything from diabetes management to anxiety relief. It’s no surprise that it’s one of the most downloaded medical apps to emerge over the past decade. 

How It Works 

GoodRx has built a vast network of relationships and integrations with leaders in the healthcare industry, including pharmacies, pharmaceutical manufacturers, PBMs and more. It uses an advanced technology to aggregate more than 200 billion prescription pricing data points every day from these sources. Then it organizes all the data in an easily digestible way, including by zip code and pharmacy, and provides it through the app or website for free.  

You can search for the lowest price on your prescriptions from a selection of nearby pharmacies (GoodRx is accepted at 70,000 pharmacies nationwide), save a GoodRx code to your mobile device for free, and present that code at the pharmacy to access the low price. On average, users save up to 80% off retail prices on prescription medications with GoodRx, beating the average insurance copay more than 50% of the time for the 100 most purchased medications, based on industry data.

GoodRx also offers a membership program, which can be particularly helpful for individuals purchasing multiple medications a month. GoodRx Gold members benefit from even deeper savings, access to affordable online medical provider visits, and free home delivery on eligible medications. Over 1,000 prescription medications are available for under $10 through GoodRx Gold, with savings of up to 90% off standard list prices.  

Savings on Brand Drugs and Medical Devices  

Through its relationships with manufacturers, GoodRx offers deals on brand drugs and even medical devices and inhalers. For example, eligible patients with severe allergies whose commercial insurance covers AUVI-Q can pay as little as $35 through GoodRx, or cash pay patients can purchase AUVI-Q for $289 per carton at the pharmacy counter, which adds up to $300 in savings.

Plus, through GoodRx you can also access deals on medications for women’s health. This includes a partnership with Organon to offer NuvaRing®  for as low as $48 a month for eligible cash-paying patients, making it less expensive than its generic counterpart. In addition, GoodRx offers exclusive discounts on birth control and menopause treatments, including Nextstellis, Imvexxy, and Bijuva, to support women no matter where they are in their health journeys.

Pickles have been a huge part of my life since birth, and that’s no joke. To this day, my mom still buys full gallons of sliced pickles for my brother when he comes over to her house. All my siblings have eaten pickles as snacks and put them on every other food imaginable for as long as I can remember. I’ve even wanted to start pickling myself so I can maintain a steady supply.

But recently, we’ve come across a viral TikTok that has shown us something we’ve never noticed before. Most major pickle-packing companies don’t seem to have the word “pickle” anywhere on their beloved jars. What’s up with that?

Why don’t jars say “pickles” on the label?

TikTok user @jessebanwell came across this interesting tidbit while talking to his son. Banwell says his son “couldn’t find the word [pickle] on the jar anywhere.” He did some digging and found that neither his Claussen nor Mt. Olive pickle jars featured the word anywhere. He even googled a photo of Vlasic pickles to check out their label game, and sure enough, no “pickle” in sight.

Banwell took to the internet to seek out information, but he couldn’t seem to find an answer. We didn’t want to leave the poor man hanging, so we did some research of our own. Unfortunately, the answer isn’t all that intriguing.

According to most major companies like Vlasic, Claussen and Mt. Olive, it comes down to effective usage of space on the label. Carolyn Goldberger, the brand manager from Vlasic, says, “We use the limited label space to clearly communicate the form and flavor inside each jar. That way consumers can easily find their favorite Vlasic. But no matter the style, it’s definitely a pickle!”

Are you a true pickle lover? See how Vlasic, Claussen and Mt. Olive rank in our pickle taste test.

How many kinds of pickles are there?

There are upward of a dozen different types of pickles for you to try and enjoy. Dill chips, bread and butter chips and kosher spears are just a handful. Not all pickles are the same, and each person has their own preference. My favorite pickle has got to be a large jar of kosher spears. Lucky for me, my dad made sure to have one in the house at all times.

And while cucumbers are the go-to for the pickle chips and spears we know and love, that’s not the only vegetable you can pickle. You can pickle avocados, radishes and even fruit. There’s no stopping the pickling train—it’s a vintage cooking skill that will never go out of style!

There are some fruits that need peeling in order to enjoy them. Pineapples, watermelon and bananas are all fruits that can only be enjoyed without their outer layer. Yet some fruits, like berries, are typically eaten as is. But what if we told you that peeling your strawberries could actually result in a sweeter-tasting fruit?

This idea originally came from a viral video from chef José Andrés over on TikTok. The video is of a conversation with James Beard award–winning cook and author Tamar Adler in an interview for a podcast, where chef Andrés shares his desire for eating peeled strawberries. He says peeled strawberries were meant “to be loved by you,” that they “fit perfectly with beautiful lips” and “if you’ve never had a peeled strawberry, you don’t understand.”

So how would you go about peeling them? We broke it down so you can fully understand Andrés’s obsession with peeled strawberries.

Should you peel strawberries?

@chefjoseandres I’ll show you the secret to eating strawberries! Try @boweryfarming ♬ original sound – José Andrés

Wondering if it’s worth the effort to peel strawberries in the first place? Chef Andrés admits in another TikTok video that in his house, they always peel their strawberries because of the “mouth feel.”

The skin of the strawberry also contains some bitterness, which tends to be common in all different types of berries. Without the skin, however, peeled strawberries contain all the sweetness without the bitterness, making them even more pleasant to eat.

So after cleaning strawberries, maybe you should also consider peeling those berries for an even more elegant eating experience.

What’s the best way to peel strawberries?

While it isn’t required for you to peel these little fruits anytime you’re whipping up some kind of recipe with fresh strawberries, if you’re looking to upgrade the elegance of the dish you’re working on, peeled strawberries could do the trick.

Here’s how to peel strawberries: Using a paring knife, carefully scrape off the peel of the strawberry until you’ve removed the skin and the seeds from the top. You don’t want to cut off a chunk and lose some of that sweetness, which is why carefully scraping it will do.

Chef Andrés does this by holding the strawberry in hand while he carefully peels it. However, if you’re nervous about using a knife while holding a small piece of fruit, you can hold the strawberry in place with a fork instead. Simply use the fork to pierce the strawberry at the top near the stem, peel from the fat end of the strawberry down to the tip, then turn. Then remove the leaves and the stem at the top and you have a peeled strawberry ready for your dish—or to devour on the spot!

When is King Charles’s birthday?

King Charles III was born on November 14, 1948, which means he will turn 75 this year. That said, this will be just his second birthday as king, since he took the throne following Queen Elizabeth’s death in September 2022. Charles was the oldest person in British history to ever become king (or queen, for that matter). His mother, by contrast, was just 25 years old when she became queen in 1956.

So how will the king celebrate his big day? “The monarch’s actual birthdays are traditionally private events,” explains royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams, adding that he expects Charles to spend the day with his family, without any fanfare or public appearances. “It’s a decision of the king what he wants to do for his birthday. Only when there’s a big one, like someone turning 70 or 80, might the details be officially announced.”

Why does King Charles have a second birthday?

Birthday No. 2 for King Charles comes on the first or second Saturday in June, and it is the “official” birthday celebration of the reigning monarch. Also called Trooping the Colour, this spectacle is broadcast by the BBC live to millions of households. It is also a military parade—complete with soldiers in uniform and more than 200 horses—followed by an appearance by the royal family on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.

Celebrating the monarch’s birthday and Trooping the Colour on the same day is a centuries-long tradition that goes back to King George II, who reigned from 1727 to 1760 and was concerned that his birthday might be spoiled by bad weather. Like King Charles’s birthday, his big day was in November. “[King George] wanted to celebrate in good weather and decided that June was the best bet,” says Fitzwilliams. And so, the tradition of the monarch’s two birthdays was born!

Charles already celebrated his first Trooping the Colour on June 17, 2023, and the next one will take place on June 8, 2024.

How did Trooping the Colour get its start?

According to the official website of the royal family, Trooping the Colour likely originated in the early 18th century, though possibly even earlier. Back then, colorful flags of the battalion were carried (or “trooped”) down the ranks to remind the soldiers what they looked like and make sure they would recognize them in case they got separated from their unit during a battle. So, unlike today, the military parade wasn’t originally a celebration but a necessary practice of the armed forces that could potentially save lives. The term colours itself was implemented because the flags also displayed the uniform colors and insignia of the British Army.

Since 1748—and King George II’s decision to beat the British weather—Trooping the Colour has also marked the monarch’s official birthday.

What happens at Trooping the Colour?

Trooping the Colour is one of the highlights in the royal calendar. More than 1,400 soldiers, 200 horses and 400 musicians gather to show off their military precision, their horsemanship and, most of all, their strong bond with the royal family. The spectacle starts and finishes at Buckingham Palace, from where the senior royals (including the king and queen, the Prince and Princess of Wales and Princess Anne)—some on horses, others in carriages—make their way down the Mall to nearby Horse Guard’s Parade for the official display, a simulation of a march to the battlefield by working soldiers. Around the parade square, 8,000 members of the public can watch the display up close, alongside the royal family.

Royal fans who don’t win a seat in the annual ballot (at least 250,000 try their luck every year) can still be part of the celebrations by joining the tens of thousands of flag-waving spectators along the Mall and on the edges of St. James’s Park. Trooping the Colour lasts from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and ends with a Royal Air Force fly-past, watched by the royal family from the Buckingham Palace balcony. Costs for the event are roughly $70,000.

Was Charles’s first Trooping the Colour any different than previous celebrations?

Royal watchers might wonder if King Charles’s birthday parade is any different from Queen Elizabeth’s, especially since he has promoted the idea of a slimmed-down monarchy. In terms of the pomp and circumstance, that doesn’t seem to be the case. “Trooping the Colour is a centuries-old tradition with a purpose: to show the very close relationship the monarch has with the armed forces,” Fitzwilliams explains. “It has iconic status and remains unchanged.”

There was, however, one notable difference at Charles’s first Trooping the Colour. He revived a tradition that Queen Elizabeth gave up in 1986 when she was 60 years old: He appeared on horseback, riding next to Princess Anne and Prince William.

That said, Trooping the Colour might change once William becomes king. Britain’s future monarch is, as Fitzwilliams says, in a “slight dilemma,” as his birthday is on June 21. That’s not only the same month Trooping the Colour currently takes place but also usually around the Royal Ascot Racing Weekend, another noteworthy event in the royal calendar. “He might decide to just have one birthday, or he might celebrate earlier,” says Fitzwilliams. “It’s up to the monarch if they want to continue the tradition or not.”
