I needed some items for our family that normally I would either pick up at CVS or the grocery store when I go. But with the boys home for the summer and gas prices the way they are, I have been trying to limit my trips out. I really hate shopping with the boys -- it becomes so stressful!
So I went to drugstore.com through ebates.com to check out some items. I found everything I was looking for -- actually I forgot some items and remembered after I placed the order so I'm starting up a new list for the next time.
Before checking out I decided to look on CVS.com and see how much the same prices cost there and whether it would be cheaper with the coupons I have from previous shopping trips. The same products generally cost $1.00 or more than they did at drugstore.com plus I got free shipping (would have also gotten at CVS), no sales tax (not sure about that), credit to use in October (may or may not have received another coupon at CVS), and 6% cashback from ebates.com (no cashback for CVS)!
Not only did I save $2.00 at drugstore.com over CVS.com, but I will also get about $3.17 cashback from ebates.com. It definitely makes sense to compare prices before placing an order. And looking for online deals is a must if it means not having to spend gas money when you can get something shipped to you for free.
