Let's meet the The Big 3 of the drugstore world: CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid. Each store's reward system is slightly different, some more complicated than others (Walgreens, I'm looking at you).
CVS
We've already covered shopping at CVS (buy products that earn Extra Bucks, roll those Extra Bucks to buy other items for little or no money. Reread this post for a review.
Rite Aid
Rite Aid operates pretty much like CVS. Use your store card to get sale prices, look for items that earn Up Rewards, use Up Rewards to buy almost any other product in the store. I haven't shopped Rite Aid deals yet, mostly because I started at CVS and built up Extra Bucks. With only two people actually using products in our house, there really isn't a need to stock pile and go crazy buying sales at multiple stores. Rite Aid seems pretty easy to shop, though, so below you'll find this week's best deals, just in case you see something you like and want to give it a try!
Walgreens
Oh, Walgreens, I want to like you, I do. You seem to have good deals, but honestly, I find you to be a pain in the butt. Walgreens operates a money back program, called Register Rewards, that doesn't use a store loyalty card. There are complicated rules about how you earn these rewards and what they can be used on in the future. If you already know how to operate this system, you've likely found next week's deals on another site by now. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, sorry, today IS NOT going to be the day I get into it. Remember, it's Saturday, time for coffee and Kardashian sleaze.
So, here are next week's FREE drugstore finds (after rewards), listed by store, along with coupon match-ups.

Walgreens
I don't feel like typing them up. There are 8 potentially free deals. Check them out here, thanks to Couponing to Disney.
Walgreens is nice because if you can work around it, the deals can be limitless unlike CVS where it's a limit of 1 per card or whatever. You just have to be able to find the right deal to roll one RR into and then back into the same one, etc. etc. I once ended up with 40+ pkgs. of huggies at a great price rolling the RR's back and forth. It is a little trickier but I always liked a challenge!
