Pharmacies replaced old-fashioned means of healing including do-it-yourself books written by shamans and all-you-can-eat medicine buffets. Leave health to the professionals with today’s Groupon: for $20, you get a $40 gift card to South Oaks Pharmacy.

South Oaks Pharmacy’s charismatic chemists dispense prescriptions, over-the-counter elixirs, and health-inducing products from their amply stocked apothecary shelves. Customers can soothe chapped lips with a stick of Burt’s Bees lip balm ($1.99) or relieve muscles sore from overly vigorous lip-balm applications with pain-relieving Blue Goo ($10.49). Make an appointment to bust seasonal bugs with an annual flu shot ($30) or keep bodies hale and hearty all year long with vitamins including Centrum, One-A-Day, and Flintstones. Keep bods smelling pleasant with $1 goods such as shampoo and toothpaste or tangibly preserve transient memories using the shop’s Kodak machine, which instantly spits out prints culled from memory sticks, Facebook, or your photographic memory.

South Oaks Pharmacy accepts all major insurance plans, matches competitors' rates, and delivers meds free to all customers living in Springfield’s city limits on request.
