20 Best Drugstore Buys

I love this article. I actually like that the reviews are done by many women. I never trust best product lists from beauty mags because they are usually based on 2 or 3 editors trying products for a few weeks. Consumer reports does scientific testing on these products. These reviews may not be scientific, but they're good enough for me. Plus I love drugstore products. I would say that it is one of the reasons that my husband and I can put 20% down on a home with only 3 years in the work force. I am sure that there are people who don't need to buy these products but why waste the money when they do just as good a job. I would rather spend the money on a trip to Hawaii. Then I might blow some money on an expensive sunblock LOL!

OMG!!! Miss KatieLee you gold digger!! Let me guess you probably don't make over half the money you spend on your expensive creams, shampoos, conditioners, and makeup, so ofcoarse you don't realize or care that these products are just as good if not better than most of those over priced products. Your just paying for the name. You should be ashamed of yourself take the $500 or more and donate that money to a needy family or children.

I found this article very helpful. KatieLee, I'll bet a billion bucks that you're a spoiled little girl. I bought a $120 cover-up compact from a very top-of-the-line brand. It worked like it was crap. Later that month, I passed by a $5 cover-up that caught my eye. This one worked like magic. I recommend you get your mind out of the clouds, cuz when reality hits you, it's gonna hit you hard. This article gives you reliable info, and I plan to use alot of these products. Thank you. :)

How come sauve wasn't on the list? I've been using sauve products for years and my hair fells and smells just as good as any that was mention. And it's price doesn't break you pocketbook. I have dry scalp and I've tried other products like for instance ( head and shoulders) and all it did was make it worse and burnt my scalp. So if you ask me you should try using suave and see what you think.

I can't believe Suave didn't make it onto the list. I've used several varieties of Suave over the years and have always had great results for much better prices than Pantene or other top brands! I love Pantene Classic, but the Suave Pro-V works just as well for much less.

This list is deceiving. It's based on other consumers "opinion". It is not based on what's actually best for your hair. Just because a shampoo feels good does not mean that it's good for your hair. If you have ever gone to the hair shows they will tell you that Suave is actually the best product for your hair and that Pantene is the worst.

Good article. For me it's a hit or miss. There are some drugstore products that perform almost or just as good as the more expensive, department store brands for a third of the price and some that are just downright disappointing. But then again, the same can be said for more expensive brands also. I guess the only thing one can do is to try the product and see if it works for you. BTW, ignore *katie-lee* or whatever her name is. She's probably just a 10 yr old brat.

I don't consider buying Clinique's 3-Step and foundation splurging just b/c it's not in a drugstore; if anything I save by not having to buy THEN try and they have a 100% guarantee!! I am convinced they're the best deal out there. B.B.
