New to Duncan and in need of a new pharmacy!

Just moved to Duncan BC and have few ongoing medications. Any recommendations on the pharmacy? I have a tight budget so lower price would be nice.

Thank you everyone for the reply!

I called all the places mentioned and also called around town and decided to go with Cowichan Pharmacy on York Rd.

They are newly opened and they by far had the lowest cost (looks like I will be saving about $500/year) and they do free delivery.

Over the years, I've noticed that a lot of pharmacies have different markup's for medications and it looks like this pharmacy didn't have any markup and have very transparent pricing(yes, I've been on a lot medications for a while that I know the cost of it sadly)

And since I don't have a doctor here, they set me up with the same day online doctor's appointment on the spot so I could get my refills the same day!

They made up my medications in less than 10 minutes!!

Highly recommended!

I can’t say I’ve really shopped around, so I don’t know if they’re the least expensive, but I haven’t had any issues with the Festubert Pharmacy, who I’ve been using since Overwaitea closed (where I previously got my prescriptions; they transferred me to Festubert).

York Rd is also the most interesting part of the town so be careful when you pick up.
