Target sales flyers this week have a coupon for a $10 gift for bringing them a new/transferred prescription. It's at bottom of page 39 of the 42-page ad that was in Sunday newspapers on Dec. 6. You can also ask for one at the customer service desk in the next few days. But do so early in the week as they tend to run out early when there are Rx coupons in them.
MULTIPLES? As long as you bring a separate coupon for each prescription you bring them, they will give you no trouble about getting a $10 gift card for each one.
EXPIRES: Dec. 21, 2009.
OTHER PLACES TO USE:
BEST:
* CVS (unlimited; especially in central Ohio where they will take them with refills as well as transfers),
* Kmart (one a day/week depending on pharmacist).
VERY LIMITED:
* Giant Eagle -- once every six months;
* Kroger -- 1 a day and might be a lifetime limit of 3 or 4 times in some areas such as Ohio/Michigan.

Kmart: $10 gift card with new or transferred Rx
There's an Rx coupon in the Kmart sales flyer this week (arrived in some bags on Saturday, Dec. 5; newspaper on Sunday, Dec. 6; and in stores throughout the week ahead). Coupon is at bottom of Page 44 of 48-page sales flyer.
You can get a $10 gift card when you bring a new or transferred prescription to them from another pharmacy.
EXPIRES: 12/31/209
LIMITATIONS: "One certificate per customer." (Some Kmart pharmacists will let you use one per day or one per week, though.)
FINE PRINT CHANGE (for the better!!!): The $10 Rx coupons had been stipulating that your COPAY had to meet or exceed the $10 value to be eligible. But now they have incorporated the same language that was in earlier coupons from Kmart (for $25) -- as long as the total amount collected by Kmart from copay or insurance totals more than the gift amount, then it's fine. If not, they'll give you a gift card for whatever the amount of the copay plus what the insurance company paid. For example, if you paid $4 and the insurance paid $4, you get an $8 gift card. Or, if you had no insurance and got stuck paying the full $8, you still get an $8 gift card. And, actually, if you had no insurance, you probably got stuck paying a lot more than $8 -- more like $15 (because you don't have the benefit of the insurance company's negotiated rate with the pharmacy :-( .

BEWARE: Giant Eagle only accepting 1 compeitor coupon per 6 months
Yes, as ridiculous as it sounds, Giant Eagle has switched from taking an unlimited number of competitor coupons at their Pharmacy to accepting only ONE (1) per SIX (6) months.
As I mention in another blog posting, this is a good reason to transfer all your prescriptions away from Giant Eagle (and other pharmacies) to CVS and leave them there. Not only do CVS stores in Central Ohio honor an unlimited number of competitor coupons, but they also have a unique special that allows you to use coupons for REFILLS as well as when you bring them a new/transferred prescription.
For more, see: Best & Worst Pharmacies (for accepting competitor coupons)
NEED coupons to take with you to CVS? Well, Giant Eagle does have one in their sales flyers at a couple of locations this week with their usual "Up to $30 savings" with new/transferred Rx coupons where you earn $1 in FuelPerks for each prescription you bring them (as long as you have a separate coupon for each). It says it's valid at Blacklick location only. But CVS hasn't minded taking them outside the "greater Blacklick metro area." ;-)
These two Giant Eagles have the coupons in their sales flyers this week (inside the back page of the short wrap-around):
Blacklick Giant Eagle
6867 East Broad Street
Columbus, OH 43213
McCutcheon & Stelzer Giant Eagle
2900 Stelzer Road
Columbus, OH 43219
Ones in stores through today (Wednesday, Dec. 2) expire Dec. 23, 2009.
Those that will be in stores beginning on Thursday, Dec. 3 (through Wednesday, Dec. 9) expire Dec. 30, 2009.
SEARCHING "Weekly Specials" ads of MULTIPLE LOCATIONS:
By the way, when trying to check their "Weekly Specials" now, they've made it a little more difficult on their website to check multiple stores. You need to click "Make Primary Store" beside one and then go to "Weekly Specials" to see the specials for that store. Then if you go to the "Weekly Specials" link beside any other store, it will still show you the flyer for your Primary Store and not any other. So you have to change your Primary Store to another location and then click Weekly Specials again to see what's different at that location.
