Confessions of a Cheapskate

Many people overlook drug stores for savings. I can understand why this is… drug stores tend to have a limited selection of items, they often carry upscale brands that come with higher price tags, and the sales circulars often are an odd collection of laxatives, Ace Bandage twin packs, .09 pencils and cans of sardines.

Beyond prescriptions and medical necessities, these stores are otherwise your impulse stop shopping bonanza. Russel Stover c andy. Hallmark cards. A Snuggie for your dog. Magazines. Four of the top 100 best sellers. Large print crossword puzzles. $9 toasters and Ped Egg refills.

If you chuckle because you find my description accurate, then you may be surprised to find that drug stores can save you hundreds of dollars per year!

I invite you to check out:

These sites are the best resources I can find online with constantly updated information. It can be overwhelming if you’ve never bargain shopped at a drug store before.

Starting in January, I am going to start to highlight some of my drug store deals on this blog. I haven’t shopped at any of them in nearly a year as I’d stocked up enough razors, hair coloring, soap, body wash, shampoo/conditioner, toothpaste, etc., to last. My linen closet is getting a little low on inventory so I am going to start stocking up again.

In the meantime, check out those websites!
