Drug store low down

Bow. Kiss. Fight! If this were a thumb war I'd probably kick your ass, but really it's just dueling drug store ads. At CVS, get 1 bottle of Nature Made or Nature's Resource vitamins free when you buy 1 bottle, get 50% off CVS brand pharmacy and foot care tools (i.e. painful beauty-enablers), and get a free pack of Zantac heartburn mints after the mail in rebate.

Longs has tons of buy 1 get 1 free makeup deals: Maybelline eyeliner with purchase of mascara, Maybelline extreme lipliner with purchase of lipstick, Almay face and eye products, Bonne Bell cosmetics, Wet 'n Wild cosmetics, and Revlon Age Defying products. Also 25% Sally Hansen nailpolish, lip stuff, and cosmetics.

Longs also has decent prices on booze. a 12-pack of Sierra Nevada or Sam Adams is $11.99. Gatorade 32-ounce bottles are just 79-cents, a very good price.

Caveats: Need frequent shopper cards.

Looks like this time around, Longs fingered CVS. Longs locations here. CVS locations here.
