Boycotting CVS

You all have seen how much I can make off of CVS, but I must now boycott it and hope you will join me.

In case you have not heard, a group called Color of Change decided they wanted to boycott Glenn Beck's show because in an interview on another show, he said that Obama was a Nazi and hated the white race. Color of Change then began pressuring companies to stop advertising during his show. CVS is one of the companies that crumbled under the pressure.

I'm not saying a person has to agree with Glenn Beck, but he has the right to free speech as much as anyone. I don't feel that CVS or any of the other companies have a right to attempt to limit a person's free speech. There are so many other shows on that are truly offensive that to choose Glenn Beck shows a definite political agenda.

I even called CVS Corporate offices to verify if this was true and the representative proudly told me that it was. I explained that it offended me that they were taking this stand and if they didn't want to offend anyone, they would end up not advertising at all since I'm sure everything they advertise on could offend someone.

And yes, I will also try to avoid the other companies as well. They are:
CVS-Caremark
Sargento Cheese
GEICO
Ally Bank
Broadview Security
Progressive Insurance
State Farm
Men's Wearhouse
S.C. Johnson
Procter & Gamble
Lawyers.com
Radio Shack
Healthy Choice (ConAgra)
Plavix (Sanofi-Aventis)
Travelocity
(Rumors also have included Walmart and BestBuy, but they are not validated at this point)
Please go to the companies listed and let them know how you feel about this issue. Again, to me the issue is not so much if I agree with Glenn Beck as much as it is protecting the right of free speech.

Walgreens---I'm not happy

Walgreens was offering a 15% off coupon yesterday and today. So, first, I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to share it with you. But if it makes it any better, I didn't use it either!

I printed it up, went off to the store, and realized it was still laying on the floor in front of the printer! UGH.

Ok, since my visit was late in the week, there were many things already out of stock, so I may try to make another trip to another...or not.

Ok, retail cost was 21.57 and after sales, coupons, and Register Rewards, my OOP was 6.99 which is a savings of 68%. BUT you know you can't leave it there. They gave me $9 in Register Rewards which means in the end they paid me $2.01 to take 21.57 worth of stuff out of their store.
