Who do you think is cheaper...Cvs..Rite Aide..Duane Reade..

I used to think it was Rite Aide but lately I find them pricey as well... What do you find to be the cheapest? Just for odds and ends..shampoo...makeup...tampons..

I think Target's really the best out of the drugstore places.

ITA, well for pregnancy tests anyway! If I don't go to target I go to CVS just b/c I like that store the best.

I agree. I always find Target to be at least $2 cheaper than drug stores on my shampoo and makeup etc....

ITA...for an example, I buy Auqaphor in the tub (I think it is 13 or 16oz). CVS sells it for $31.99 and for the exact same size and brand Target has it for $16.99 as their regular price!! I refuse to go CVS even though it is so much closer.

CVS always has printable online coupons for $2.00 of a $10.00 purchase or $3.00 off a $15.00 purchase

I only go to CVS

Stop and Shop is decent too, but places like Target and Walmart definitely win this.

I'm surprised CVS and Walgreens are still opening new stores like crazy considering places like Target, Walmart and some supermarkets are trying to kick their butt.

target definitely. However when CVS has things on sale and between the extra bucks and 3 off 15, 4 off 20, purchase coupons sometimes I end up saving more there.

I agree. The CVS pharmacy part of my CVS is always insanely busy though. They have a drive-through, so I do get all of my prescriptions there.

I usually go to whatever I'm closer to do at the moment, so I spend more $ than I would at Target.

However, I find Target doesn't always have the best selection.
I can't always find the specific brands of things I use regularly.

Also, you have to pay to park at the one near me Chat Icon , so it it doesn't really save me much money, unless I was going there already for something, and still had time on the meter to use up.

I have yet to see a bargain that could get me back in the Walmart across the street from it. Chat Icon

me too. Target and Walmart are sometimes cheaper but i get much better AmEx rewards at CVS, i get CVS coupons all the time and CVS is so much closer to me. gas money has definitely become a factor these days!

I think CVS. They have good sales and you get coupons for cash off when you use your CVS card.
