I don't buy the majority of my cosmetics and drugs at Walgreens because they are more expensive there. However, I visit Walgreens at least once a month because of a really cool promotion that they have. Every month in their Easy Saver(TM) Catalog they have from 2-5 products that are free after rebate. These are generally useful items like shampoo and toothpaste. I haven't had to pay for a toothbrush in months! Although the rebate does not cover the tax, there is an option to receive your rebate on a store gift card. If you choose the gift card, they add ten percent to your rebate. This extra ten percent conveniently pays for the sales tax.
