Drugstore Deals for all the three in my area: Walgreen’s, CVS & Rite Aid all in one post.
Thes are the BEST deals I see at the Drugstores, and therefore will save us the most money when picking up deals at these types of stores. The way that I tend to shop the deals at drugstores stores is to just run in and pick up a few of the can’t miss Weekly Deals. I think doing separate posts was actually taking away from that. It should also make it easier to compare across each store, in case you are deciding which store to go to for the week.
The Drugstores are the only stores I am planning to do the combined post with; the Grocery Store & Target Deals will remain the same. Note that this new post format will deem the “Best of Drugstore Deals” unnecessary.
All stores will have a few items each week that are better than their competitors, in hopes you will do all your shopping there. These are often called “loss leaders”. The stores actually lose money on these products, to entice you to come in. You can save a lot of money by buying these loss leaders among several stores.
An economical way to take advantage of the best deals at several stores is to combine trips. You can keep my list handy, and when you are out and about anyway, stop by one of these stores for your can’t miss deal. Dropping the kids off at school, and pass by one of these stores? Pop in really quick and pick up those $4.99 one-pound pistachios at Walgreen’s!
Stock up and pocket your savings! Example: If you normally buy pistachios for $9.99/lb. and buy 4 packs of the ones in the example above, you will have saved $20! A quick $20 for a few minutes of your time! Keep shopping this way, and you can save hundreds of dollars per month, and thousands over the year.
My Price Guide for Drugstore Items
Note: Must use store cards at Walgreen’s, CVS and Rite Aid to receive sale prices.
About prices: You usually have to buy in multiples to get the sale price at Drugstores. For example, if something is $3/2, you would have to buy 2 to get each item for $1.50. A single purchase is usually a higher price than buying 2 individually. You can check the store’s tags to be sure.
Happy Saving! 🙂
