Earlier today, a coworker of mine got something stuck in her eye and desperately needed eye drops. I ran out of work to go find somewhere I could get them, and lucky for me, I came across Downtown Drug Mart.
I can honestly tell you that in all my time in Calgary, I never even knew this place existed. When you walk in, it's shocking to see how far back the store goes!
They've got a bit of everything! Lip gloss to eye drops, flu medication to gum.
I quickly found what I needed and was well on my way.
The woman at the register was very friendly and nice, and the bottle of visine seemed pretty reasonably priced ($6.99). Some of their prices were higher than they would be at your local Shoppers Drug Mart or Walmart Pharmacy, but like all convenience stores, you're paying for the convenience of it being right there!
I was impressed with the size of this drug store (which happens to be right on Stephen Avenue!), and I was also impressed with their selection.
A great asset to have in the heart of downtown Calgary! read more
