So, I haven't really gotten into the whole drug store game in the past and still have mixed feelings about it, but this month I think I fell into its trap. I can see how some people get totally addicted to it and it does save money. I am just worried that I will become a hoarder if I do it every month. However, with my boyfriend moving in April 1st, I now have two people to buy for.
Here is what I have gotten so far for the month of March(Abbreviations are what I have found to be common knowledge among other drug store gamers):
