Countdown Pharmacies now offer FREE prescriptions Auckland wide! Think they doing this due to the expansion of chemist warehouse in Auckland but as those are quite limited, you'd have better luck having a countdown near you.
Starting from today, think this would be forever until they decide to take it off.
Let's see who can beat 100xparacetamol for $1.99 next :D
I doubt it'll be Countdown.
I appreciate it's a different product but Countdown's box of 100 Ethics Ibuprofen in their flyer is $12. The identical product at Chemist Warehouse is $3!
Let's hope Chemist Warehouse can expand and help keep the cost of necessities like this down.
wow, hope it comes to wellington
This is awesome news but where does it say "free"? Did you hear it from the news? I can't seem to find that from their website.
Thanks. What are the t&cs? Can you just turn up and hand them your prescription or do you need a SmartFuel/Onecard or a special code?
Sorry, I'm not in their mailer so relying on you here. :)
"*$5 off the standard subsidised prescription charge. Other charges relating to partially funded or unfunded items may apply."
Doesnt say anything about needing one of those cards or anything. So its pretty much go in, give prescription and should be fine.
Now this is why competition helps consumers….
So do you need a Community services card for this free deal?
No you don't. If you normally pay $5 (meaning it's subsidised) at a pharmacy, it'll be free at Countdown.
Will they get in the petrol industry soon o hope!!
RIP local pharmacies!
Is there any way of finding which Countdown branches have parmacies inside them?
this is amazing news
