Here are my best shop suggestions for both CVS and Walgreens this week! These suggestions should be tailored to fit what works best for your family and your financial situation, so make sure that they work for you before heading out! That being said, here is what I would do based on the best deals this week (assuming you have no ECB or RR to start with):

Remember that you can also get Old Spice Bar Soap for only $.29 per bar, a great deal on Tide Detergent and Ziploc Containers for only $1.50 each while you’re there!
Be sure to pick up your free Cadbury Creme Egg (exp 3/29) at some store while you’re out shopping!
If you did this, you’d walk away spending $35.69 out of pocket and still have $10 ECB, 3,000 points, $11.99 from Delsym rebate and $9.99 from Mucinex rebate. That means you’re walking having spent only $.71 total and you’ll be getting a bunch of stuff! If you have any RR or ECB to start with, feel free to change these deals to what will work best for you! These are just a jumping point. Happy shopping!
