The Drugstore Game
There are scores of shoppers in Utah who play the "drug store" game. They use sales, manufacturer's and store coupons, rebates and/or other reward programs to get personal care items and other products sold at the major pharmacy chains for only a tiny fraction of their retail price. Read this nice explanation about how this whole process can work for you. The woman who wrote this is obviously from a market with a lot of CVS pharmacies. But what she has to say applies to the two dominant chains in our market, Walgreens and Rite Aid. Employing her strategies, and you can free and extremely inexpensive items each week.
