Boots isn't the cheapest place, but it's one of many pharmacists that it's important to support. The most important is your little corner shop chemist, who the government is happy to screw over by letting the supermarkets cut-price painkillers etc. Yes they're cheaper *now*, but when all the pharmacies go bust do you really think they'll stay cheap?? More to the point, a good pharmacy will order things for you if they don't stock them, whereas Boots won't (unless you want to buy, for example, 500 paskets of alum). In their defence they do sell homebrewing stuff still. I thought the main thing about Savers was that it only does toiletries and unrestricted medicined; ie no prescription only. Superdrug is a fine shop, and does the job without being flashy.
