Free Apples for Pharmacy Customers

Albany Street Pharmacy is taking the old adage – an apple a day keeps the doctor away – quite literally, offering free apples to patients.

Pharmacy Today reports that this is good news for broke local students: the pharmacy is located near the main Otago University campus and student health services. The pharmacy’s owner, Debbie Young, heard via social media that students were often left with only a dollar to last the week, with no more resources to buy food, and decided to create a unique offer.

“Originally it started when we had a free supply of apples, but it was so popular that we started buying them,” she told Pharmacy Today. Apples are offered to every customer, whether they buy anything or not.
