Black Friday deals at drug stores

Our coupon clipper Jessica Garringer has tips for you.

This Black Friday you can find deals at more places than just the big-box stores.

This article will show you how you can get items free by using drug stores’ rewards programs. Although you pay the sale price for these items up front, you will get back the cost of the product back in the form of a reward voucher good off your next purchase.

For example, below you will see that you can get a Mars chocolate single bar at CVS for 75 cents. Although you will pay the 75 cents upfront for this item, when you checkout you will get 75 cents back in Extra Care Bucks good off your next purchase.
