Can any one tell me where the cheapest chemist is to be found in Warrington,Cheshire.

The big ones seem to be the most expensive,

Thank you

Boots, Allied and most of the other big names are, indeed, usually very pricey. However the good old Co-op is often quite a bit cheaper:
276, Manchester Rd, Warrington , WA1 3RB
96, Capesthorne Rd, Orford, Warrington , WA2 9LN
14-15, Fearnhead Cross,Insall Rd, Warrington , WA2 0HD
28, Benson Rd, Warrington , WA3 7PQ
70-72, Lodge Drive, Warrington , WA3 4ER
97-99, High St, Warrington , WA3 3BU

If you're seeking 'over the counter' medicines (rather than 'prescription only' stuff) always ask for generic products, rather than the well-known brand names. For example, if you use the antihistamine which is sold as 'Claritin', asking the pharmacist for a generic equivalent will get you Loratadine (which is exactly the same) at well under half the cost per tablet. Similarly, if you use the antifungal cream called Canesten AF, ask for the generic equivalent and you should be sold 1% Clotrimazole (which is the same stuff) for a far lower price.

Asda pharmacies are also worth checking out, especially if you get the pharmacist to help you. For example he/she will know that the expensive Canesten AF cream you need to treat athlete's foot is identical to Asda's Anti-Thrush Cream (which is far, far cheaper!)

There are Asda pharmacies at these locations:
Westbrook Shopping Centre, Cromwell Avenue, Warrington, WA5 8UG
and
Edge Green Lane, Warrington, WA3 3SP
