Major changes in Pharmacy Department promotions
Dateline: Kmart SuperK (24 / 7) in beautiful Brooklyn, OH (a suburb of Cleveland):
+
I had two new prescriptions.
I do not have prescription insurance so my question at the pharmacy is always:
“Q) Paying cash, how much is this prescription to fill?”
Well, the pharmacist came back and said:
“If you join our prescription plan, which is $10.00 to join, each of these prescriptions will be $5.00.”
(These same prescriptions are $4.00 each at Giant Eagle and I earn FuelPerks towards free gas-o-line.)
I said I was not interested in joining and then I asked if she knew of any coupons out there like Catalina coupon for ‘$20.00 Kmart gift card for a new or transferred prescription.’
She said no and then she lowered the hammer …
“Kmart no longer issues those kind of coupons and they no longer honor competitors’ RX coupons.”
“All discounts have been canceled and the only thing available is the prescription plan that I just mentioned.”
She said Kmart got a new head of the Pharmacy Department and he is making major changes.
This was the pharmacist I was talking to and she said these chances went into effect in May 2011.
Yikes!

I plan on going to the Kmart located in Middleburg Heights, OH on Bagley Road and I will give them the 3rd degree.
You know ... Who? What? When? Where? Why? and How?
