You don't say what sort of medicines you want to buy, but I would think that most of the generic stuff will be prety much the same price all over.

They don't exist because you can't sell them online. price comparison websites are a bit of a con anyway really because they all run "affiliate" schemes - they get paid whenever a user clicks on a link or orders a product from a participating website.

go to a good chemists and ask for generic equivalents of everything.

I wanted to do my research on prices as i have a broken leg and cant walk around but wanted to save money as out of work and it is just medicines to take on holiday. Anti poos, dyralight etc.

I know that there is a huge difference between for example boots, tesco, superdrug, chemists etc as i watched a programe about it.

Sorry about the repeat posting - not sure what happened - the generic route is the way to go - for example you can buy fancy boxes of paracetomol from Boots or you can buy their own generic brand - just ask the pharmacist to recommend the equivalent - you will pay more if you ask for a "name" like Neurofen or Immodium -
