*******************

Next week I will be kicking off a new fun feature on The MotherLoot complete with a linky list for you to participate in each Thursday!

As a self-confessed drugstore junkie, I admit that I am addicted to drugstore shopping utilizing all of the free & cheap deals from the drugstores. I always wonder though if a product is really for me and even when using my Extra Care Bucks, I would love to know if it is worth the cost of time, storage, and the use of my register rewards!

I will have a new review feature each Thursday that my fellow drugstore junkies can participate in. Join me each Thursday for the “Drugstore Dish” and share your opinions on those great products you are scoring when doing your CVS & Walgreens shopping.

To kick it off, I am giving away to TWO lucky readers the new Maybelline Pulse Perfection Mascara today. This is Maybelline New York’s first-to-mass vibrating mascara delivers 7,000 vibrations per minute in 7 synchronized actions so lashes are transformed to perfection. This product is not out in stores yet, but will be sold in exclusively in Walmart nationwide starting on May 28th for $14.95.

To enter, tell me one of your favorite brands/items to buy at your drugstore or if you are a self-confessed drugstore junkie too! This contest will end on Tuesday (05/19) at 8PM EST and our winner will be chosen at random. Please only one entry per person and don’t forge
t to check back on Thursday for our very first Drugstore Dish linky list!

    I love getting free masacara. I’ve only recently started wearing it daily and just love the way it makes my lashes look. I’ll try any brand – as long as it’s free or very inexpensive!

    Happy Freebie Friday everyone!

    I love everything Burt’s Bees, and I’m so glad their products are easy to locate at most drugstores. Speaking of Burt’s Bees, their 25th Anniversary is coming up on May 27 and I’m hoping they do something special for their fans – I’ll keep you posted!

    I’m a newly-addicted drugstore junkie, thanks to your blog and podcast! My favorite items so far have been the Aveeno and Neutrogena skincare/babycare products.

    fun! I do enjoy some good CVS deals for sure. I don’t know if I’m a junkie though. I’m kinda picky about personal care products so I don’t usually wind up taking advantage of a lot of the deals. Stuff like cereal and paper goods are my favorite finds. Oh and there was a great deal on rechargable batteries around Earth Day.

    What a great idea! I’ll be back every Thursday.

    I have to admit that my wife and I are both drug store junkies. We hit CVS and Walgreens every week to shop the deals. Some of our favorites items to get are of course toothpaste, shampoos, deodorants and my wife likes Rimmel make up.

    I am just getting back to wearing makeup after a few years off to take care of my babies. With a little more free time, this would be a great giveaway to win. I used to use Covergirl mascara.

    I love picking up great deals of everything at the drugstore, but I particularly look for lotions and mascara! I’ve recently discovered Walgreens and CVS rewards programs. Last week I got more free stuff than I have in my whole life! How can anyone NOT be a drugstore junkie?!

    The Drugstore is the only place I shop for my makeup. I love the cheap prices with great quality! I am about to run out of my current masscara…Sure could use some more!!

    I love the comfort of drug stores! We grew up going to them for lotions, prescriptions, CANDY and roasted nuts! I’ve just gotten into the CVS groove. I have to drive 30 min. so I plan my trips according to all my awesome Blog friends who dish the scoop on CVS sales! Thanks! I wear mascara plus I have 2 teens!

    I am OBSESSED with CVS and the weekly swag I can score there when shopping the deals. I’m not much of a brand junkie, but there are two products that I really love and will spend a bit more on. Burt’s Bees lip balm. It’s the only lip balm we use around here. And Aveeno lotions. They are thick and creamy, but not greasy like others.

    Can’t wait to see what’s next for “Drugstore Dish”. :)

    I have loved the great Nivea product deals – I am appreciative of the blogs that have taught me to be a ‘super shopper’!

    I save all the make-up coupons from the papers and then check and see who has it on sale and then take my coupons and try what I have not used before and then stock up on coupons for that product if it’s something I want to buy again. Would love to try the new mascara from Maybelline.

    I LOVE getting free or nearly free stuff at drugstores! I’m probably partial to Maybelline or Revlon products, but if its free or almost free, I’m willing to try almost anything! Great idea for a weekly blog… can’t wait to read it!

    I would love to try the new mascara. As for the drugstore trips…almost one trip everyday, i pick up whatever I see a good deal is on. But St.Ives products are my fave. I just can’t live without them.

    My favorite drugstore buy happens to be anotother masacara – L’Oreal Voluminous!! I love it. I have tried lots of department store mascaras, but for the price, Voluminous is fantastic. Can’t live without it!! (but I love to try new stuff, so I’d love to win the new Maybelline mascara!)

    I like L’Oreal Bare Naturale make up line, L’Oreal color juice lip gloss, Physicians Formula Talc-Free Mineral Wear foundation, Revlon illuminance creme shadow, and lip gloss.

    These are some of my favorite make up that I used and they’re all from drug store.

    I love to buy Coppertone lotion. I use it in the winter to boost my spirits. I love the scent! My son laughs that everyone at the beach can smell us coming.
    I love shopping at CVS and Walgreens.

    Aveeno products…I never tried before due to the cost, but now with coupons and ECB/RR’s I am a believer!

    THANKS for the opportunity to win the new Mascara – sure hope it is waterproof!

    I’m a drugstore junkie but my drugstore of choice is Kerr Drug. They have huge markdowns on items that are out of season ,or after a holiday, or have been on the shelf to long. I have Christmas gifts and the cutest cloth airplane Easter basket (30 cents)packed away for next year. After shampoo, deodorant, etc. are marked down 50% to 75%, I’ll use coupons as well. I’m addicted!

    I confess to being a “Drug Store Junkie”. Hey, when CVS and Walgreens give you money back when you buy their products, who wouldn’t be? I haven’t tried this mascara and would love to. Keeping my fingers crossed to win.

    I absolutely love any mascara that makes my lashes look over the top. I have full long lashes but I love adding a little more length to them to make them look dramatic.

    I am a recent drugstore fanatic. I used to buy all my cleaning products, personal hygiene products, make-up, etc at Wal-mart (still has great prices overall), but when CVS has a sale, plus extra bucks, plus coupons, I really load up. 2 weeks ago Intuition razor was on sale with extra plus, plus with coupon it ended up beign $0.99. Used extra bucks to buy more stuff with extra bucks and so on.

    I really enjoy getting things for free at Walgreens and CVS. I can hardly bring myself to pay cash for things now because I know I can score it for free. I really like getting Dove deoderant for free! My fav.

    Rite Aid has some pretty good sales on makeup from time to time. I like to save my coupons for the sales. My recent favorite find is Almay whipped lipgloss. It makes my lips soft and pretty but not too sticky.

    To be honest I usually go to drugstores to get holiday decorations! They are easily half price or less and just as cute! My hubby hates going to drugstores becuase I usually leave with A LOT more than I went for. :) But I just can’t pass up a deal (And I usually get a few gifts for family while I’m there)
