A lot of drugstores are using various rewards, register rewards (Walgreen's), UP's (Rite Aid), ECB's (CVS.) They are good. Especially if you combine your purchases with coupons, use your RR/UP/ECB on a following purchase - and don't get carried away, you can save quite a bit. Here's an example from Walgreen's.
Transaction 1:
Pedicare Cold Medicine $5.99
-$1.00/1 Pedicare Printable Here
Total: $4.99 Out of Pocket; Get $4.00 Register Reward
Transaction 2:
Colgate Pro Clinical Toothpast $ 3.49
Big Roll Toilet Paper 0.39
Big Roll Toilet Paper 0.39
Total: $4.27 - $4.00 Register Reward
= $0.27 Out of Pocket; Get $2.50 Register Reward
Total Value = $10.26
Total Out of Pocket = $5.26
Register Rewards Remaining = $2.50
I usually apply the last register reward to the next week.
Now of course if you have no need for the first purchase (no kids, etc), this may not work for you. But check out the Sunday ad's there's usually something you could use.
