The latest issue of ShopSmart mag, an ad-free publication by Consumer Reports, has a great story on where to find the best prices on beauty deals. ShopSmart compared prices for dozens of shampoos, conditioners, and styling products sold at CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Drugstore.com, Target, and Walmart.

Guess which retailer had the best prices?

Target and Walmart every time!

Target and Walmart prices were $1-$2 cheaper for many products. Some were as much as $3 less!If you prefer Target over Walmart or vice versa, don’t feel bad about buying all your toiletries at either store, because many of the items below were priced pennies apart.

Here are the products and the low prices ShopSmart found. Use this as a guideline for what is a “good price” on these products the next time you shop. You can lower these prices further with coupons.

    Walmart is overall even lower than TARGET on most of these items. However, Target also has Target coupons which can be combined with manufacturers’ coupons on the same item–making many items close to free!

    Today at Target I purchased Tums, Palmolive dish liquid, and Uncle Ben’s rice using two sets of coupons from Target and from the manufacturer.
