Sounds like it's trying to rain outside

Emergency trip for Zylkene because the bottle was finished. (Glad I went out the back way or I would’ve had a run in with the severely creepy neighbour.)

Eugh. Bad warm

I was right, more antibiotics. I got the script filled at the on site pharmacy, that turned out to be a much more expensive option than the discount chemist was.

I take a couple of meds daily, getting both costs me under $20 a month from Chemist warehouse.

Couldn't be stuffed with them the other day and filled my script at the local chemist. $35 total.

I can't justify supporting a small business with such a difference.

And unfortunately with the buying power of CW, there's zero way the small pharmacies can compete. The price they pay their suppliers is way more than the price CW pay for the same product.

It's lose-lose. Unless you're CW I guess...

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 5 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Same business model as Wal-Mart really. Priceline is still kind of okay for scripts, but at least 10-20% more than CW.

I hate CW with a burning passion of a thousand suns, but given the cost of living right now, I'll take savings where I can.

Apparently my neighbours think it's a good time to operate a leaf blower. Not too sure exactly what their thought process is...

Not feeling the heat yet. Heading into work at around 10 though. Hopefully not a gross sweaty mess when I arrive
