    QUESTION Pamida anyone?

    So, I read that Pamida is in the top 5 of national drug stores. They sell everything...kind of like a Kmart. They bought out a local mom and pop drugstore here last year and are in the process of building a full-size store now. I signed up for their emails and from what I can tell, they run decent sales and they do double coupons pretty regular-at least once a month, up to $1.
    Does anyone have one near them that they shop?

    Further research -- stores are mostly in the Midwest, in rural areas. Looks like they have something like 200 stores -- surely someone around here has one?

    We have one here. I used to work for them when I first moved here. I will not shop there. Our store here is a wreck, not priced and no one is helpful in any way. I tried my best while I worked there but they wouldn't even let me price the place. Grrrr. DH went and bought something there today and I get to return it tomorrow. Fun fun fun for me.

    I have heard that there are cleaner and priced stores but not this one.

    The last Pamida I was in was located in rural Iowa. The selection wasn't much at all, very small store. In the small parking lot, was a post for the Amish to tie their horses too. I'm so glad I don't have to shop there, lol.

    Thanks for the input so far. I'm most anxious about the possibility of doubling, since we are in the LOND here.

    I used to work at a Pamida in NE Iowa when I was in high school, but that's been a little over 10 years ago (ouch that hurt!) Back then according to my mom the prices were higher than all the other stores. So maybe they got on track and changed some of that.

    In general they are very small stores. And unless they are in a city without other stores they are much less shopped. So you have the potential for good clearance. In the past their back-to-school sales were really poor and they always had tons of stock left over.

    I have a pamida here where I live,They have started double coupons about 2 months ago.

    The place is a mess,the prices are high,they won't take Ip coupons.

    I have gotten some things for free with dbl coupons,but it's always clearance Items.

    I go only for dbl coupon events,after holiday shopping,and when I've got no other choice,as it is the only store like it around here.I have a larger city I drive to for work.I do pretty much all my shopping there.

    Our's does not have pharmacy.

    I have a Pamida in my town also. The prices are higher but they do price match and they seem to double always about the 18this of the month, whatever the date is on that Saturday! They dont take IP coupons> I've managed to get alot of free stuff during doubles bc of price matching. Hence Walgreens had Kellogs cereal on sale for 1.99 and I had $1 coupons so I got 15 boxes of kelloggs cereal for free. Sometimes when they also double they will do a 10 percent discount for price matching the first two days/ the last time they didn't take the 10 percent off but the time before they did.

    We have a Pamida where I live...Overall their prices are a bit on the high side...I do like the double coupons though and have managed to get a few things for free...they are the only place within an hour of me that doubles coupons....I worked there when I was in highschool...back then they doubled all the time now it is only about once a month.
