Bad News Target Pharmacy

I was told tonight by my Target Pharmacist that they will no longer accept competitor coupons for new or transferred prescriptions after November 4th! Bummer! I guess they'll be losing the bulk of my business. Ralphs (Kroger) still does, so it looks like that will be my new primary destination for prescriptions.

I figured it was only a matter of time....

Well since the competitors don't offer $4.00 prescriptions, I don't blame them. I never saw how they made money when they did that.

 

The past Target script coupons I've seen were for a $10.00 gift card.

Well, that's all well and good if your prescription has a generic, but not all of them do. I take a prescription daily that is not a part of that program. So, I'll go elsewhere.

You have to understand thier perspective tho. I'd be willing to bet that a mojority of GCs issued are for $4 scripts. Which means they LOSE $6 for every one filled. And thats on a Target offer. If its another store that offers say $25, well then they are really losing money.

I knew this was coming. There was a woman in front of me the other day using 4 $25.00 CVS coupons at Target. She made the comment that 2 of her prescriptions were less than $2.00. Her total bill came to $14.00 and change and she got $100.00 worth of GC's. Great deal but I knew they would be ending this soon because of things like this.

 

I take 4 medicines on a daily bases that aren't cheap even with insurance for a bone disease.
