I have a "Persons With Disabilities" (PWD) ID Card and I am using it for a privilege to get a discount on items that I buy from the store even for my food needs like this meal replacement milk that am using to supplement my diet for my weight gain efforts. Now it came into my mind to get a prescription from my doctor via my dialysis nurses for this milk (Ensure) that I would want to use so that I could get a discount for it in the store.
The discount helps a lot since it will give me around 20% off from the retail value of the milk and the savings adds up because of the expensive price of Ensure milk. I needed this milk because sometimes I have no urge to eat and often I would just drink coffee with a milk like this in it and in that way I can get a nourishment even though I didn't eat and taking this as a sole source of sustenance during the instances that I do not want to eat will greatly help my health.
It is a good thing that I was able to be a member of PWD because I am like a Senior Citizen with similar privileges for getting discounts on my basic necessities even from non-basic like discounts on cinemas and amusement parks.
On admission fees charged by theaters, cinema houses, concert halls, circuses, carnivals and other similar places of culture, leisure and amusement;

I can also get a discount when I die but I will not be concerned anymore about that I reckon. But the privileges on everything that I personally buy is what I enjoy right now so sometimes it is good to buy personally in stores so that I could get discounts unlike if I would buy from online shops.
But what I want was the discount for my basic necessities like this milk but I needed to get a prescription for it as the drugstore that I will be buying it from via my mother wants me to submit a prescription for it along with my ID, the basic commodities purchase booklet, and such so that I can freely avail it from there. But I suppose that it will not be an issue anymore.
