Drugstores

Although I can not recall the details of my first rebate purchase with each store, I have been drugstore rebating ever since my high school freshman year. It was just pure teenage curiosity that first lead me to the practice of rebating shopping, not parental influences or budgetary constrains.

My love for drugstore rebate shopping has only grown as time has gone on. Although, in my college years, I did experience a slight heartache as Eckerds was bought out and went out-of-business. In my college town, all the Eckerds were converted to CVS stores. As the stores were transitioning I inquired if the new CVS store would have a comparable rebate program. I was initially told that CVS would not. As a result, I became very distraught and refused to shop at CVS for sometime. That was until ...

How I First Met Walgreens

After moving at the end of middle school to start high school, the community I moved to had drugstores. Next to one grocery store, there was an Eckerds and across the street next to another grocery store there was a Walgreens. At this point, I had no expectations of drugstore shopping and thought nothing of it when I first carelessly strolled into my first drugstore. As usual, I was just diverting to the nearest store to pick up a few basic necessities. That’s when it hit me, completely unexpectedly and out-of-the-blue. Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted the Easy Saver rebate catalog. I picked it up and checked it out, flipping thru all the pages and reading the fine print. It seemed like it couldn’t hurt to give it a chance. I also subsequently discovered Eckerds rebate program and found it to be strikingly similar. So there I was a new girl in a town with two different major drugstores in walking distance of each other and both vying for my attention.

Tales From The Past pt. 3

We are approaching the part in the “Tales From The Past” series that actually explains how I initially became a rebate junkie.

During middle school, grocery shopping days occasionally switched to Mondays. It seems the library was wise enough not to be open on Sunday. Thus shifting grocery shopping to Monday gave my "dad" something to do while I checked out massive stacks of books from the library that I never actually read or returned on time. I was usually sad I missed out on the shopping trips, but for the most part he could be trusted to fulfill my requests for a half-dozen boxes of Fruit-By-The-Foot and some Eskimo Pies. Nonethlesss, I eventually abandoned the library to return to grocery shopping to ensure I got all my desired personal items.

As I am sure you could imagine, as an adolescent, I had teenage “unmentionables” that I needed and didn’t exactly what to openly request or buy with the pops standing over my shoulder. Thus I would make a sidetrip to an adjacent store to discretely buy the teenage “you-knows.”

Okay, perhaps that part of the tale was just to make you squirm, but all awkwardness aside, there are just some things that are best bought at a discount wholesaler (ie. Target, Walmart, K-Mart) than a grocery store due to lower prices and increased selections.

It is this pattern of venturing to nearby stores that first introduced me the practice of rebating.
