Most people are aware of coupons and money-back saving schemes for food, apparels, and shoes. However, did you know that even drugstores offer saving opportunities on some of their special brands of medicines? Read on to know more.

These coupons provide you with the benefit of coupling the coupon with money-back rewards.

How to shop for free at your local drugstore?
Medicines costs are touching the sky. Shopping at your local drugstore can literally leave a hole in your pocket. This is where when these discount coupons can come to your help. Every drugstore has its own money-back and discounted coupon programs. They run these programs on a weekly or a monthly basis. Most of the deals are advertised on shelf tags in the store or on Sunday ad pages. Here are two of USA’s major drugstore schemes.

• Walgreens: Walgreens offer Register Rewards (RR) program that is run by the same company that maintains the Catalina Coupon in grocery stores. The RR programs come with its own set of rules. Make sure you understand these properly. Some time back, Walgreens had an offer where customers had to pay just $0.05 per 24 count box of Wal-Daryl (like Benadryl). A person could buy two boxes and receive 5,000 balance reward points which could be redeemed later for a store credit worth $5.00. Walgreens seasonally offer printable coupons online. Visit the store’s website to get an idea of the kinds of offers Walgreens is offering. Allergy relief medicine coupons are generally always available.
• CVS: CVS runs its own money-back programs that are not run by Catalina. They work differently unlike Walgreens and the store coupons are valid only at CVS. Extra Bucks rewards are more like cash back rewards that are printed on your receipts as store coupons. The Extra Care Bucks (ECB) are accrued on quarterly purchases and prescriptions. You can avail $1 ECB for every two prescriptions you fill. You also get a 2% cash back on your quarterly spending. ECBs are store coupons and can be used many times per transaction. What’s more is that they adjust the bill amount as well. For example, if you use $3 ECB to purchase a $2.99 item, then only $2.99 ECB is scanned.

Allergy relief medicine coupons are becoming more common by the day. They are provided by huge stores like Walgreens, CVS and also by smaller stores.
