Title: Drugstores
Post by: linnbast1985 on October 31, 2011, 04:12:20 am
Which drugstore do you use the most and what keeps you coming back? I currently use Rite Aid b/c it is across the street but their customer service usually sucks.

I am a huge CVS fan, mainly because they offer their CVS rewards program which gives you many chances to get cash back. I know Rite Aid & Walgreens have similar discount programs, but they aren't as enticing as CVS's.

I like CVS too they almost have everything and they have very good customer service
2 weeks ago we were in the weekend and CVS close early on Saturday and I had to take my daughter to the emergency and the doctor prescribed he an antibiotic and it was late so the CVS were closed and she advised us to go to Walgreen they have some branches that is 24 hours but guess what they don't have the medicine in this branch or in any other Walgreen and it would be available if I request it by Tuesday :) at last we got another antibiotic take for 2 times until we get the prescribed antibiotic.
When we went with the same prescription to CVS it takes 7 minutes to get it :)

I like Walmart because of the prices.  I've always found drugstores to be pricey.

I used to like CVS, but the store I go to has crappy customer service. So, I've been going to walgreens more often.

I usually use CVS or Walgreens because they're conveinently located and the prices are fairly decent.

I always use CVS.  Sometimes I find some realy great unexpected deals, and I like the customer service.

I shop CVS, although it a little further of a drive. I believe there rewards program is nicer than rite aid or walgreens and they also seem to have far superior customer service

I go to Walgreen's myself. It is close to my home and there are lots of them in our town. I like their sales too.

i rarely shop at them, and if i do, it's because
it's close or i only need one thing. so basically
for convenience only -- definitely not the prices!
price compare a few things from walgreens to
the exact things at walmart. no contest!

CVS. I go for their Rewards and Extra Bucks programs. There is also one within a few blocks of where ever you happen to be in my city. Walgreens is a close second. There aren't quite as many of them.

I generally use Rite Aid and I love it. I think the prices are outrageous but they usually have everything I want. The spring water drives me there everytime it is the most modestly priced item they carry. I really love the fact that they always carry the new items. :wave:

Walgreens by far I have used them for like 10 years now as I need to pick up monthly prescriptions I have found them to be excellent and great sales also. :confused1:

CVS because of the rewards program. However, I get my prescriptions filled at Winn-Dixie Grocery because they match Wal-Mart's prices and there's never a wait. They're also conveniently located.

I used to only go to Walmart since they are very close to my house. However, I've been trying to work on the couponing thing lately and have found that Walgreens can sometimes be cheaper than Walmart. We don't have a CVS here  :crybaby2: but it looks like they may have the best deals in terms of the ECBs, though Walgreens does have their Register Rewards... However their coupon policy is a little weird in that the number of coupons must match the number of items being purchased and the RRs are counted as coupons. So sometimes in order to use all of the coupons you want, you need to buy "filler" items (eg cheap candy for a quarter, etc.) to meet the coupon policy.

I always go to Walgreens just because we don't have Rite Aid or CVS around here.
