The family chemist - is this a good price?

I've been looking at the discount codes thread, and just searching the Internet in general for the best price and have come across the family chemist.

Has anyone used them? Are they an online pharmacy? Is this a good price?

They also do a 2.5mg and 5mg starter pack for £288, which seems good - just off the bottom of my screen shot so I didn't see it originally!

The starter pack has needles and swabs which you need every month, the only other is the sharps bin, is that £20?.

im with Asda, but the prices above are cheaper, check what is provided or you may have to order on top for eg needles!

The starter pack comes with 100 x needles and 100 x swabs, plus the sharps bin.
I assume I'd only need one a week?

I think they are pretty reliable from what I have read about them and the price is very reasonable. Off the top of my head, don't they have a delivery charge to add?

If it's price and service you're looking for, I would suggest The Care Pharmacy. They have a price match/lowest price guarantee and free next day delivery including needles and swabs. Someone in the main thread was very pleased with her move to them. If I decide to leave Voy, I think they are where I would go😁

Have been with them since April and highly rate them.

I changed to care and found their software a little clunky but after that they were spot on..

I use TFC and have no complaints.
I'd rather stick with one supplier if possible than chop and change for discount codes etc.

I ordered Tuesday, arrived Thursday, first dose this morning :)

I'm currently excited. It's so expensive but I keep thinking this is either going to be a total waste of money or the best money I've ever spent.

4.5 stone to lose to be in the healthy BMI category. I go to New York in November and would love to be half was to the 4.5 stone by then - but that does seem very quick when I think that's only 3 months away!

Definitely won't be a waste of money, promise!

Good luck, it's honestly the best thing I've ever done for myself ❤️

Yes it is expensive but I've saved a lot of money on my food shop so its really about half the cost.

I have around 45 kilos/7 stone to lose - I've had one pen/4 x 2.5mg jabs, and I've easily lost 5.5 kilos.

Is the the regular price? I don't fancy touting around for someone to use my discount code every month. That's really the thing putting me off starting. (That and all the hideous side effects 😁)

Yes, regular price.
That was exactly my thinking. I might have been able to get it cheaper for a month or two, but I don't want to piss about with discount codes and end up paying a lot more some months.

There was also a £10 discount that popped up while I was on the site. £155 delivered for the starter pack (2.5mg pen, 100 needles, 100 swabs, sharps bin).
