Sunday drugstore and Kroger deals are up (July 22-28)

The freebie line-up is pretty sweet at the drugstores and Kroger this week. With coupons and rewards, you can easily score free AMP Energy drinks, Starbucks Refreshers, Stayfree pads, St. Joseph's aspirin, Colgate Toothpaste, Safeguard or Ivory soap and Speed Stick deodorants.

Or pay a few pennies and splurge on 20-cent Colgate toothbrushes, 24-cent Crest Rinse, 44-cent Pepsi Next 2 liters, 50-cent Softsoap or 74-cent Butterball turkey bacon.

But my favorite deal of the week has to be the $1.25-half-gallon milk at Kroger. That's the third sales cycle in a row, I believe, that we've had milk at bargain prices.

Keep reading for all the very best deals I found at the drugstores and Kroger.
