Can anyone tell me if there is a less expensive drugstore than even realfastdrugstore?
My aunt (not a lymie)doesn't have prescription coverage and needs a break from paying full price at regular drug stores like WalMart, etc.

I tried a couple of others and found that expense is not the only thing you need to be looking at in finding a drugstore.
I tried two others in Canada besides RealFast and one, it took over 3 weeks for my prescriptions to come to me.
RealFastDrugStore.com usually has my drugs to me in 7-10 days, never later than that.
Also, another on I tried to get drugs from, well, they kept giving me the run around and after two weeks of my trying to get my drugs, they finally told me they didn't carry that drug.
Go to www.google.com and put in Canadian drug stores and just start comparing prices. I really haven't found but a few with a little less then realfast, but, then are they worth it.
Only use a drugstore from Canadian that has happy customers and not the ones they print on their website.
They are using the scrupulous "keyword cramming" practice at the bottom of their page. This practice is frowned upon by Search Engines.

We've been very happy with www.canadianmedsusa.com although we haven't used them for all of our Rx meds, only just for obtaining brand name Minocin. We stopped using them after our LLMD started changing the prescriptions more often so that it just wasn't as convenient anymore.
After that, I guess I just got lazy and quit comparing prices because they don't always have the same drugs in the Canadian formulary which we have down here in the US, so I got out of the habit of doing it.

die_lyme_die, I've been using realfastdrugstore.com since 2001 without any, ANY problems whatsoever. I think that speaks for itself.
And, at the end of the year, all you have to do is ask and they'll send you a list for your Taxes of all the money you've spent with them over the past year.
Several posters here use RealFast, so far, I have't heard one complaint. They'll either email you or call you to remind you of your prescription renewal coming up.
I don't know what you are talking about, about the "keyword cramming" practice, but, have a good idea. I, still, say that this is the most realiable and fastest turnaround to get your prescriptions to you on the web.
I searched and even tried using others. I searched probably over 1K of drugstores online and this one is far and above the rest.
Like I said, look for happy and satisfied customers...that is the BEST way to tell if something is right. I've been with them for over 3 years now and like I said, no problems.

Thanks everyone. My uncle can get his scripts through the local VA because he is a WWII vet, but my aunt has been paying full price.
I am trying to help her get her drugs for reduced fees, and she is a wreck over sending out for drugs.

Since our uncle was a WWII vet, they surely are on Medicare, right? Well, this next month, May, they should be getting a discount card for some meds.
Didn't say, but, have you tried the Needy Meds programs? If they do not quality for one of those, and check each company cause they all have different illegibility for their programs, then the different pharm. companies are now offering a discount card for free that could be helpful.
Just go to their individual sites and apply for the card which can be used at most large pharmacies, Wal-Mart, Walgreens, etc.
I hope this helps you as I know full well without insurance, this can cost a bundle to treat.

I don't know, but in MA, it appears that only my uncle--the Vet--can get the scripts. My aunt used to get a discount at the local hospital pharmacy because she worked there, but hospital pulled the plug.
They have Medicare, which she says pays for doctors' appts., but not meds. She pays over hundred dollars a month for Fosamax or Lipitor--can't remember which.
Thanks Rose for the rest of the information. I may have to do that for my mom as well.
Thanks a lot.
