Competitor Prescription Coupon Policies

Visit the Prescription Coupon Update to see what coupons are currently valid.

Stores vary in their acceptance policies. Many times the coupon has to be for a true competitor in the local area with a pharmacy (i.e. if you don’t have a local Rite Aid, they might not accept a Rite Aid coupon).

  • Meijer will honor competitor prescription coupons, but will only offer up to $10.
  • Some CVS stores will accept competitor prescription coupons. Plus you earn $1 ECB’s for every 2 prescriptions filled at CVS.
  • Kmart will accept competitor coupons
  • Other pharmacies that accept competitor coupons are Osco Drug, Fry’s Food Stores, Albertson’s Food Stores and even some Walgreen’s will do so but they are few and far between. Just remember to call ahead and ask to ensure that they will take your coupon before you fill your prescription. Thanks to Kathy for the tip!
  • Shopko will honor local competitors’ prescription coupons and add $2.00. Thanks to Rita for the tip!
  • Giant Eagle and some Krogers will also accept competitor coupons.

Dominick’s no longer accepts competitor coupons (as of May 2009). Thanks Couponing for 4 for letting me know!

I was told by a Manager in the Kroger Pharmacy that Kroger’s is NOT allowed to take any competitor’s coupons at all now. Only their own.
That being the case, I did notice in the Sunday paper that Kroger has put out fliers for the pharmacy and they contained a coupon for $20 in groceries which is put on your Kroger card. These are taking 24 hours to be added to the card.

Thanks Mary! I was unable to use a competitor coupon at my Kroger also, but another reader stated that they were able to at theirs. I’ll update the policy.

Their policy also may have changed…my CVS used to accept competitor coupons, but now they no longer do.
