Looking to switch from Walmart pharmacy to Shoppers (lemmy.ca)

I'd like to move all my business away from Walmart, and their pharmacy is one service we use often.

While I know there are "lesser evils" than Shoppers, they are walking distance away, and that's important to me.

Can anyone share their experience with Shoppers for their pharmacy, and even better would be from anyone who's switched from Walmart Pharmacy to Shoppers.

Thanks in advance.

If you're considering changing pharmacies and even partially pay for your drugs, make sure to look up their dispensing fees. They can vary significantly between pharmacies and provinces, and at least in my town and province, Shoppers Drug Mart is one of the more costly ones.

For sure. Walmart is in the middle (Costco is the least expensive), but Shoppers is on the higher end. Not sure what the independent pharmacy charges until I speak with them, but hopefully it's no more than what Walmart was charging.
