i'm not sure if this is called like this in english, but is there any chemist's chain in switzerland? where they sell deodorants, shower gel etc. etc.
prices in supermarkets seems to be very high. (i don't mean normal switzerland-higher prices, i mean really really much higher at least for some products)
and it was pretty much the same in other countries, until companies like Rossmann came to Germany, Poland etc. and set up self-service chemist supermarkets. So is there any such chain here?
It's appalling what you pay here for toiletries; I always try to stock up as much as I can when I'm abroad.
Sorry, not much advise other than to check Comparis for sales every once in a while (http://www.comparis.ch/aktionenfinder/result.aspx)

Unfortunately no. You might consider http://www.schlecker.com/ as you are abroad, or, if only in Germany: http://www.dm-drogeriemarkt.de/. Make sure they really are cheaper because, in some cases, local supermarkets beat their prices.
I think the cheapest is at Aldi or Denner, or maybe Lidl (but I have never been in there). Sometimes you have to look past the brand-name (as long as it still smells nice ).
If you dont travel abroad often, Coop sometimes does good deals on shower gels and shampoos - for example, 3 for the price of 2. I usually get them regardless if I've run out. Ahhhh I miss Boots!
There's a German chain called "Mueller" and they have a branch in the basement of Jelmoli. Some of their stuff is cheaper, plus they have some own brands straight from Germany which seem to be cheaper.
