Drugstores All NEW Weekly Deals – Starts Sunday. Gift Card Bonuses, Save on Non-Food, Pantry Items, Snacks + Much More for Less!
These are the Weekly Deals advertised for the three Drugstores in my area: Walgreen’s, Rite Aid & CVS all in one post.
Note: Prices can be regional. I’m in the San Francisco Bay Area and obtain info. from weekly ads and my local stores in this area. Please check your local flyer, shelf tags and online to verify prices in your area. Online sales may be the same as in-store, but not always.
★★★Seeing Stars?! NEW Feature! I have placed a star next to the best/my favorite deals! Focus on those to save the most.★★★
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.
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.
Please check all ingredients carefully, some products will have some, but not all vegan items in their line.
Happy Saving! 🙂
Deals are in no particular order
Note for Beverages: Prices are sometimes regional
(Note for General Mills and Kellogg’s, I only include coupons for “any” or the couple that do not contain Vit. D3.)
Note on photos: Some may be illustrative of a product, but not the actual product. For example, I may use a general photo of apples I took to report on a sale on apples.
*Note for Cold Cereals: Many are not vegan, as they contain Vitamin D3. You can read my post HERE about it.
Note: Prices can be regional. I’m in the San Francisco Bay Area and obtain info. from weekly ads and my local stores in this area. Online sales may be the same, but not always. Please check your local flyer, shelf tags and online to verify prices in your area.
*Please check all ingredients carefully; some items will have some, but not all vegan products in their line.
When using coupons: We are generally allowed to use ONE manufacturer coupon per item. This can be stacked with a rebate like Ibotta (unless stated otherwise, Checkout 51 rebates can’t combine.) I may list more than one manufacturer coupon, but that is only to share all available coupons.
For Non-Food items: I check each product for vegan and cruelty-free, but please feel free to do your own research, too. Cruelty-free can have differing interpretations. Some companies will have a “vegan-line”, others will be cruelty-free but have some non-vegan products. I will indicate those if my check reveals they are not regarded 100% vegan and cruelty-free.
