Consumer Value Stores (known as CVS) which is the second largest pharmacy chain in the United States, has become my favorite place to stop by to see what's on sale whether it be food, snacks, beauty products, or prescription. I used to be a die hard Duane Reade shopper but when it was acquired by Walgreens, the prices sky rocketed and the prices not competitive.
First off, sign up for the CVS membership card which will offer more saving when you swipe it at the card reader near the entrance to the store. The kiosk will spit out coupons for you on certain products as well as a possible 20% off your total purchase or $4 off a $20 purchase. Occasionally you will also receive a printed coupon on your purchase receipt. If you don't mind promotional mail, CVS will periodically send you a 25% off your purchase coupon.
Of all the pharmacy chains in NYC, only CVS seems to provide the most savings.

I'm going to the Pharmacy to buy... Groceries???
Yes! Many big name drugstores and pharmacies like Duane Reade, CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid all are starting to carry a larger selection of groceries and food. While the selection may be smaller than a grocery store or supermarket, the prices can be MUCH cheaper.
You can use manufacturer's coupons along with the store's coupon or membership card to get even better savings on your groceries! So, when you are making a trip to the supermarket, stop by a drugstore/pharmacy along the way and check them out.
My weekend ritual of perusing the online weekly supermarket circulars for sales now includes the drugstore/pharmacies!
The following are links to the the weekly circulars. You may have to enter your zip code to see the savings in your area.
