Giant-Carlisle launches prescription-savings card

CARLISLE, Pa. – Supermarket operator Ahold USA has completed rolling out prescription-savings cards at the chains it operates with the introduction of the cards in Giant Food Stores.

Carlisle, Pa.-based Giant Food Stores and Martin's Food Markets, together often called Giant-Carlisle to distinguish them from fellow Ahold chain Giant Food of Landover, Md., announced the launch of the Giant/Martin's Prescription Savings Card. The card offers discounts for prescriptions and personalized savings on health-related products from the store. Giant-Landover and Stop & Shop introduced the cards at the end of last month.

"With the launch of the Giant/Martin's Prescription Savings Card, customers can now save on both brand-name and generic prescriptions, in addition to other savings on health and wellness-related products," Giant-Carlisle director of pharmacy operations Leigh Shirley said. "This is just another way we are able to provide our customers with extra savings when they shop."

Like the other cards, the Giant-Carlisle card allows customers to obtain 30-day supplies of some generic drugs for $3.99 and 90-day supplies for $9.99, as well as savings on flu shots and diabetes testing supplies. The card can also be used at Giant-Landover and Stop & Shop, with exception to stores in New Jersey.
