It’s official: Walgreen’s is buying out Rite Aid. I didn’t find this news surprising because five years ago, a Rite Aid manager told me he thought the chain was in big trouble.

As consumers, we should expect to see changes—specifically, I’m predicting less deals. Of the 3 drugstore chains, Walgreens is the least coupon friendly. Because of that fact, I shop there less frequently and buy less when I do (Black Friday week being a notable exception).

Those of us who’ve couponed for a long time have been through it before. After all, when I first started, stores were still using rebate catalogs and now we have digital coupons and apps. No matter what the restrictions and availability, I will always coupon—in some form or fashion. Do I miss the days when I could get 20 free items in a single transaction? You bet! But I still enjoy getting any kind of sale.

Do you think this merger will be positive or negative?
