Where To Get Condoms

Most often you can get condoms for free or at reduced costs from healthcare clinics such as Planned Parenthood, Spokane Regional Health District or your local healthcare provider. Grocery stores and retail stores such as Wal-Mart, Target, Fred Meyer, Albertsons, Shopko sell condoms over the counter (meaning you don’t need a prescription to purchase them.)
