Get to know your fellow Drugstore / Grocery Store SDer

[BigRodent]

Name: Triskell
Gender: Female
Marital Status: happily married to my Mr Rodent
Age: 43
Occupation: working at a small store that sells fine gifts and gourmet chocolate
Children: none, through a conscious choice, which stems form firm belief that the Earth is dramatically overpopulated and I'd be doing it a dis-service by contributing
Favorite Drugstore: RA is the one I know best. Have done quite a bit of Wags lately, though I'm afraid to post in their threads. No CVS here, so that's not an option.

I'm Polish and have only lived in the States for about 7 1/2 years. No couponing tradition where I come from, so I never couponed before I discovered this forum. I stumbled upon it when looking for a laptop deal in June last year. Around the same time, Mr Rodent got laid off and started school. This wasn't why I got into couponing but somehow happened at the same time. Everyone here has been such great help!

Other than having a job, I have hundreds of hobbies (the biggest being dancing: I do belly dancing, international folk dancing and Flamenco). Squeezing deals into my schedule often happens at the expense of sleep, but it's so well worth it. :D

And yes, I do have purple hair.

Age: 29 :omg:
Occupation: Office Drone
Children: 1
Favorite Drugstore: CVS, but I do Wags when I feel like having an anxiety attack....

I got into ordering freebies when I was in college, and that's how I found SD's freebie thread. It wasn't until years later that I wandered into the Drugstore/Grocery Thread, and a whole new world of opportunity was opened up to me. I now shake my head when I see people paying for toothpaste at the grocery store. :bonk:

It took me years to officially join 'cause I was too scared to be a newbie. You gotta be ready to go full speed when you join SD, but it has been totally worth it. :hug:

Age: 38
Occupation: Analyst

Hobby: Poker of course. :)
Favorite Drugstore: Rite Aid.

I also shop at CVS & Walgreens, but Rite Aid is my main store. I appreciate that CVS has some great deals, but they are set up to keep you coming back over and over again. I can cash my Rite Aid rebate check and spend it anywhere I want. They also have plenty of moneymakers on the FAR items. Walgreens would be higher on my list if their internet rebate program was rolled out in my area. They also need more FAR items.
PJ you still on here?
