This just in, things are cheaper online! Also just in, the Sky is Blue and Grass is Green. Complete Tosh this "Expose" was, didn't say anything that wasn't common knowledge and portrayed it with more slant than a triangle.

I can confirm that this awful truth is accurate. And it’s not just drugs. I went to Tesco yesterday to buy bread, and had to stop in a co op on the way home. Their bread was more expensive! And they we not advertising that Tesco bread cost less!!! How do they sleep at night!!!!

mentioned on line pharmacies are buying in bulk so able to sell at lower prices but missed out that vets can and do charge for a prescription so to be accurate the true price would be the cost of the product online plus the cost of the prescription fee where charged. Also totally missed out that vet practices largely buy through wholesalers which means the cost to the practice is usually much greater than any online pharmacy before the practice even makes a mark up. All in all this program is as misleading to its viewers as some of the rogue traders it investigates - but what else do you expect from the BBC. The one point I will agree with them on is that some practices do take it to the outer limits on how much they charge, and that does nobody any favours.
