The Beginner’s Guide to Playing the Drugstore Game

The Beginner's Guide to Playing the Drugstore Game

Note:  This post contains affiliate links.  Read my policy here.

The Drugstore Game is addictive.

Every time you hit your local drugstore, you challenge yourself to buy the items you need for as little as possible – or even without paying a dime!

I got started several years back after reading an outstanding and inspirational guide, How to Shop for Free: Shopping Secrets for Smart Women Who Love to Get Something for Nothing. (The book not only makes the drugstore game easy and effective but offers savings tips on clothing, electronics, groceries, and more!)

If you’re brand new to the drugstore game but want to learn and start playing quickly, here’s your essential guide to getting started and saving big at the drugstore.  [Read more…]

Is Shopping at Aldi Really That Great?

Is Shopping at Aldi Really That Great

For a while now, I’ve heard great things about Aldi — how savings-minded moms are saving lots of money by shopping at this unconventional store.

It’s not a supermarket, and it’s not a club store.  I learned that Aldi contained mostly store brand products and only four or five aisles, making it much smaller than a standard supermarket.  Still, people raved about it.

I decided I needed to check it out for myself.

Okay, I wasn’t technically by myself.  One Saturday, I told my toddler that we were going somewhere new called Aldi.  He took in my enthusiasm somewhat suspiciously but dutifully retrieved his sneakers for me and sat happily in the car for the 10-mile drive.  On the way, I even taught him the word “Aldi” — something I now regret, since he spent the next week intermittently asking to go to Aldi.

With more than 4500 stores nationwide, it’s likely you’ve got a Rite Aid in your neighborhood.

The world of Rite Aid is in a state of flux.  In the last couple of years, Rite Aid has eliminated some of its popular savings programs, introduced a new rewards program, and made plans to be acquired by mega-retailer Walgreens.  (How coupon policies will change at that point is anyone’s guess.)

Maximizing your Rite Aid savings means having the latest information on the chain’s policies and best practices.  And winning at the Drugstore Game with Rite Aid requires a whole different playbook from the one you’d use at competitors like Walgreens.

Here’s what you need to know. [Read more…]
