Cvs Pharmacy

Like many «big box» pharmacy chains, CVS is more concerned with profit than they are their customers. When it comes right down to it, the convenience of 24-​hour service just isn’t equal to the tremendous price differences between CVS and small, local businesses. I was filling an Rx at CVS for two years and paying $ 54 out of pocket for ten pills which lasted me about 8 days. I found a small shop in Linden and now pay $ 47 for twenty of the same pills. So now I get my meds from a store that’s open 8 – 8 M-​F and 9 – 6 on weekends. I can work with that schedule. My other prescription which CVS was charging me $ 49 for 30 pills was also transferred from CVS. I now pay $ 6 for 30 pills. You do the math.
It’s rare that I need a prescription at 2 AM. I. Fact I’ve never needed a prescription at 2 AM. CVS’ prices are too high on everything they sell. When I see more and more stores cropping up along St George Avenue I think… That’s where the money’s going! But not mine… Where are you spending yours?

This CVS is very good. Yes, the items are pricey, but if you are a regular customer with a CVS card, you receive mail coupons for as much as 25% off all items in the store, with some restrictions, such as on sale products. The last time I used my coupon I saved $ 20. The coupon is good when stocking up on everyday products. Pharmacy staff is excellent. If I have one complaint, it is the automated phone call alerting you that your prescription is ready. Sometime it is, sometimes it’s not. This can be frustrating, especially on Saturdays, when the pharmacy is busy and you wait in line… sometimes for nothing! A warning for smokers: the CVS chain no longer carries tobacco products.

I like the stuff that’s here but most of the time, it’s pricey, but I still get stuff.
The selection of makeup is really nice, especially for people who are into makeup or drugstore makeup only. I like to buy my Neutrogena Makeup Remover, it works fabulous. This store has a great variety of things from nails, skin care, nail care, make up, hair products, holiday items, cards, food and even electronics! Though I’m not entirely happy about some employees being cut or replaced by automatic machines but it eases up the lines I guess.
Regardless, with a cvs card, you can get great deals, spend money on items and gain a good amount of points, after gaining a lot, you can redeem them! The rewards and discounts of items are really great so I recommend going to cvs instead of Walgreens.

I just discovered this CVS in Rahway and am thrilled. It’s a huge CVS with self checkout machines. I love CVS and think I have a problem. I can wander a CVS for hours. My husband and friends make fun of me for this affliction but there’s something about CVS that sucks me in. This CVS also has a great selection of beauty products– my main obsession in CVS stores. I have their rewards card, so I spend time looking through the coupons to see if there’s anything I need (i.e. want). There’s a cool scanny thing where you can scan your card at a machine and magic coupons pop right out! Right before your eyes! CVS has better deals than other similar big name pharmacy stores and their photo center is far superior. They have machines where you can print in minutes and order all sizes of photos, edit them, etc. The photos print right out of the machine, you don’t have to deal with anyone behind the counter. I’ve recently used
to upload and order prints for pick-​up. How cool is that?

Very organized. Little more pricey than other similar chain pharmacies but the rewards card is worth getting and their Christmas décor selection is great!
