Where can I find pharmacy coupons?

We had a couple questions on our Facebook Fan page about this so we thought we would bring this over to a post.

How do you play the Pharmacy Game and where can I find pharmacy coupons.

The Pharmacy Game is where you take one prescription (use more than one is for the organized) and transfer it from store to store and get store gift cards for the transfer. Here are the current local status of these pharmacy gift card coupons:

  • Rite Aid - Have not seen one this year (use to be links to print).
  • Walgreen’s – Years since we have seen one, we have only gotten one through the mail never in the circular.
  • Winn-Dixie - We see one of these about once a quarter in their circular.
  • Food World /Bruno’s – We have never have seen one from these stores.
  • Target - We see one of these about once a quarter in their circular, you need to buy a paper to get one. The Daphne store will not have one on hand to give you if it has this coupon.

As you can see your best bet is Winn-Dixie or Target. When you find one of these coupons make sure you get extra copies for that week that you can use at CVS and Publix. CVS and Publix will take all pharmacy competitor coupons. This means you can use the coupon at the original store and take another prescription to CVS or Publix that week.

The Pharmacy Game only works if more stores will start issuing more pharmacy coupons from week to week so you can transfer them around each month or every other month. The pharmacist or staff may look at you funny and they probably don’t like us writing about this. :-D They may also require that you only do this every 6 months.

You can also find pharmacy coupons using the following search engine.

Make sure that each pharmacy knows all your current medications.

    A friend of mine is a pharamacist & he told me that they passed a law making this illegal. I found an article about it below.

    RG,

    The article does not state that it is illegal for someone to transfer prescriptions, they state that pharmacist are advised not to offer these types of incentives to get prescription, that has nothing to do with the consumer (except that we can not find the coupons). You have the right to transfer your prescription where ever you want as often as you want.

    This could explain why we have not seen these types of coupons lately.

    Oh this reminds us that KMART (Florida) has a transfer prescription offer of $25 up to 4 times ($100). If you live in Alabama, check with your insurance before you transfer out of state.
