The Best Deals And How To Shop Them At CVS, Rite Aid & More! 1/10 – 1/16

Starting this week (1/10), I am going to start posting what I plan on buying from CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens and Target. I decided a while ago that I wanted to stay away from having a coupon site because I hate advertising things that are so very tempting to buy. I am still an avid coupon user and still save a ton of money rolling over my store rewards and want to show you how to do the same.  I am going to add my shopping scenarios so you spend the least out of pocket at each store! Stick with me and I will have you playing the drug store game like a PRO, while you build a nice size stock pile for your family!

Please note, I will not be posting the full store match ups.
