5 items you shouldn't be paying for

Couponing can be complicated and sometimes messy- but it doesn't HAVE to be. If you're looking for a way to jump in to the fray, consider that the following items can almost always be "bought" at Walgreens, Rite Aid, or CVS for free. These stores allow you to combine coupons with store sales and cash back rewards, which can stack up to no cost for you! Here are the top 5 items that I can almost always snag for free with just a store card, one copy of the Sunday paper, and internet access to printable coupons.

1. Toothpaste and toothbrushes

2. Shampoo and conditioner

3. Dish detergent

4. Cold medicine and cough drops

5. Candy
