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):
CVS
Transaction #1
Buy 1 Meta Health Bar 1 ct $1.49
Buy 1 Dawn Dish Soap 9 oz $.99
Buy 1 (or more if you have the coupons) Gillette Razor 2 pks $2.99
Use $1.49 Meta Health Bar from Red Instant Coupon Machine
Use $.25 Dawn Product Printable
Use 1 (or more if you have the coupons) Gillette Disposable Razor from 4/12 RP
Final Price: $.74 plus tax
Don’t forget that you can also get Coca-Cola Brand 12 pks for $2.33 each (no coupons needed!)
Walgreens
Transaction #1
Buy 2 Garnier Fructis Shampoo or Conditioner 2/$6
Buy 2 Colgate Optic White Toothpaste 2/$8
Use 2 $2 Garnier Fructis from 4/26 RP
Use 1 $2/2 Garnier Fructis from Walgreens May coupon booklet
Use 2 Colgate Optic White from 4/26 SS (or Use $2 Colgate Optic White printable (zip 77477)

Final Price: Free
Transaction #2
Buy 1 Clearasil Ultra 5 in 1 Acne Care $7.99
Buy 3 Hallmark Cards $.99 each
Use 1 $2 Clearasil Product from 4/26 SS
Use $4 RR from previous transaction
Pay $4.96, Get 2,000 points from Hallmark and file for $5.99 Clearasil rebate from 4/26 SS
Final Price: $.97
Be sure to pick up your free Morton Plain or Iodized Salt (exp 4/26) at some store while you’re out shopping!
If you did this, you’d walk away spending $9.70 out of pocket and still have 2,000 points and $5.99 from the rebate. That means you’re walking having spent only $1.71 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!
