I <3 Drugstore Buys!

Before I started couponing, I rarely shopped at Drugstores (CVS, RiteAid, Walgreens) because I always thought they were much pricier than Walmart or Target. But since I’ve started couponing, I LOVE shopping at drugstores! I think they are the better places to shop for toiletries and other household items.

Today I shopped at CVS and RiteAid.

CVS:
I started off with $4 ECBs
I scanned my rewards card at the coupon machine and a coupon printed out for 25% off total purchase.. SWEET!
