There’s a bit of a pharmacy war going on. At "Farmacia Familiares" you can get dependable drugs and see a doctor. At "Farmacia Similares" the slogan, a direct dig at Farmacia Familiares, is “The same, but cheaper” It seems like a total rip off too, same font, similar character (someone outside dancing round in a kindly old man-doctor suit), similar name etc. My theory is that both pharmacy chains are owned by the same company as surely they couldn’t get away with such a blatant rip off. We stay away from both these chains, but visit the pharmacy regularly. No, fortunately, we haven’t been sick, they sell everything! As David posted as he status on Facebook one day, where else in the world but Mexico can you buy beer in a pharmacy? We love Farmacia Rex where you can get Branflakes, but we are card carrying members of Farmacia Ahorra where we often stop on the way home for supplies (see picture).
