She told me that price is only for
people with Walgreens cards.

So get a card. What's the big deal.
Give them a phony name and phone number if you are worried about
your privacy.


But alway pay with cash or you're identified.


I used to use cash instead of plastic, but could never figure out
where all that cash went! writing down each purchase became tedious,
so instead I went completely to a single card. much easier to track
spending. It is amazing how much you modify your spending
[automatically] with just a bit of feedback, doesn't require that
much discipline, nor self denial, just starts happening.


I just stick receipts in my pocket, and log them into quicken "cash account"
next time I sit down at the computer.
