Walgreens & CVS Black Friday Shopping

You might think, given that I love getting great deals, that Black Friday would be my favorite day of the year.

But you'd be wrong.  Yes, I love getting great deals, but I hate crowds, lines, and searching for parking spots.  So I'd rather skip the Black Friday sales.  More for the rest of you!

But I did make quick stops to get a few deals at CVS and Walgreens, along with my regular trip to Publix.  I was disappointed with the deals at the drug stores - seems like in years gone by that the deals were a lot better.  Or maybe I've just become pickier.

 I haven't shopped much at CVS and Walgreens this year, so I didn't have any Register Rewards or Extra Care Bucks to use to make the deals even sweeter.  But I think I did okay.

Here's what I got:
