Free candy, free first aid gel and ultra cheap toothpaste and shaving cream are among the bargains you can score this week at Triangle drugstores.
There are also some nice grocery deals at Kroger, including milk for $1.49 per half-gallon, $1 frozen veggies and Turkey Hill ice cream for just $1.99 after coupon.
My favorite savings opportunity of the week: Consider taking advantage of Kroger's enhanced fuel rewards when you purchase gift cards. I purchase them for gifts or for my everyday expenditures at places like Home Depot and Target, then reap the rewards in cheaper gasoline. (See further details below.)

RxMedic, a 7-year-old maker of robotic helpers for pharmacies is under a new owner that could boost sales for the local company’s automated pill sorting system.

RxMedic was acquired last month by the JMSmith Corp., a health care company in Spartanburg, S.C., that specializes in pharmacy support services. The terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Chris Cox, RxMedic’s senior director in Raleigh, said JMSmith could represent a big opportunity for RxMedic’s Automated Dispensing System, or ADS. RxMedic has sold 32 of the $160,000 robotic mechanisms in North Carolina and four other Southern states but has lacked the financing to expand, Cox said.
