It's a pretty good week for deals at the drugstores and Kroger. There's free chocolate at CVS, free Zest body wash at Rite Aid and ultra cheap school supplies at Walgreens.
There's also a nice deal on Kellogg's and Coke products at CVS, a super sale on Garnier hair products at Rite Aid and an opportunity to score a free $25 gift card from Walgreens with a prescription transfer.
But the deal I'm most excited about this week: milk for $1.99 per gallon at Kroger. That's a price we haven't seen in the Triangle in a long time.
Keep reading for the top deals I spotted at CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens and Kroger. And please chime in with the deals you noticed. That way, we can all save even more.
