    Default Walgreen's or CVS? Which Do You Like Best?

    I am shop at both places, but honestly it seems that for the last 6 months, Walgreen's has been having better deals than CVS. Maybe its just my area? What is your opinion- which one do you shop at the most - CVS or Walgreen's?

    I like both but Walgreen's is my favorite.

    The deals at both places seem to be getting slimmer as the year goes on. I prefer CVS, mainly because of the next to free and free Pampers and Huggies. I haven't seen many deals for Walgreens that are worth my trek across town.

    Within 2 miles of my house there is a Walgreen's, CVS and a Rite-Aid. I am torn between all three. They each seen to have a period of time when they have good deals and then they go dry for a while.

    I will shop at both, but I prefer CVS. I like the customer service better at CVS which makes shopping much more fun.

    Walgreens. We don't have a CVS here, plus I just bought 6 packages of Walgreens brand diapers for 1.50 each.

    Walgreens is out of town & I can't seem to make it there very often. They seem to have lots in their weekly ads, but its just to far for me. Love CVS's deals & the ladies are so nice & helpful!

    I shop at CVS more than Walgreens. Cvs is about 1/2 mile from my house and Walgreens is about 2 Miles or so. I like that i get the CVS bucks that i can use on my next purchase. I also order my pictures from CVS.com and have them delivered to the store for pickup. I can order from the comfort of my home and also know that they wont get messed up in the mail.

    We don't have CVS here. We have a brand new Walgreens about a mile away that just opened last week ~ it's really nice!

    I've been getting good money back from CVS to help pay for things such as milk, which we go thru a lot around here. Walgreens is coming here in our little town around November so I guess I'll have to see what kind of deals I can get from there too.....that would be a lot more convenient for me.

    Walgreens, no contest. I have a very close CVS, but just don't like it. I go in occasionally for a specific deal. Here, I find the Walgreens friendlier too, but that just depends on the particular people working there at the moment.

    CVS is my favorite as I find those near me to be more coupon friendly. But I do shop for the deals at Walgreens too
