Why do some big corporations donate money to both liberal and conservative causes at the same time? Or to the candidate from each party?

There are local congressional candidates that who work to get incentives for businesses like large grocery stores and drug stores open in low income areas where they might not otherwise, so my guess would be that's where they support Dems.

The New Democrat Coalition is a congressional group, so I imagine that those were donations to individual congresspersons as well.

Most corporations aren't pushing some political agenda. They only care about making money and making sure whoever is elected doesn't fuck with that.

Can you specify where that was happening?

Board members or key managers may have their pet causes

The appearance of being even-handed

Whoever wins, they have some access

etc

They are biggest ripoff store I have ever been in. That have their token sales on misc items but the vast majority of their products are way overpriced. About a year ago I overheard a guy being interviewed at a Starbucks for a CVS manager position in DC area. The guy doing the interview I assume was a regional manager and made a comment that its great to manage a CVS because is so easy to make money because they can price the items with huge markups and people still buy them. I guess because many people are in CVS for health related issues and aren't focused on prices. I avoid CVS as much as I can and go to Target or other discount stores for medicines, etc.

I'm a CVS Top 1% Saver. They have sales that revolve weekly, bi-weekly or every three weeks so if you don't see somethng on sale...it will be. Between the manufacturer coupons, CVS coupons, ExtraBucks and sales stacked together, you can get Gillette razors for $1-2, Crest 3D White toothpaste for $1-2, Edge gel for $0.50 to 1.50, etc. If you need a blood pressure monitor, you can get an Omron 10 series cuff unit for $34 and get over 60% off Sonicare toothbrushes and so forth.

Some of the deals are so good, you actually make money on the purchase, which offsets other merchandise.

I simply dont have the time or spare brain cells to learn and manage "coupon science".

Once you grasp this technique, you can use it in any store.

The nice think about TheKrazyCouponLady is that she or other posters do the shopping for you. Her site provides multiple stores, with sample shopping lists to get the most out of everything. You just save the inserts from the Sunday papers or go to Coupons.com and print them off. Her site not only says what you can buy, but where the coupons are--including links to printable or downloadable ones.

Also remember this. Most supermarkets will have their best sales on the first week of the month to coincide with Social Security checks.

I avoid them every chance I get.

CVS is my pharmacy.

Bummer, but that's just the way it has to be for now.

The ridiculous profits they make are on things like sunglasses, greeting cards, toiletries, etc. However CVS's drug prices are probably in line with the other American retailers though. If they weren't, the insurance companies wouldn't allow prescriptions to be filled by CVS.

Doing it. And we are stocked up on toiletries for the next decade lol. Oh well.
