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 5 Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Nail Color $3.19 each ($15.95)
Buy 2 L’Oreal Advanced Shampoo or Conditioner 2/$9 wyb 2 (or $4.99 each regular price)
Use $5 off $15 Cosmetics Purchase coupon from Red Instant Coupon Machine
Use $4/2 L’Oreal Advanced Hair Care from 5/17 RP
Use 5 $1.50 from 5/3
Pay $8.45 plus tax, Get $5 ECB from Sally Hansen and $4 ECB from L’Oreal
Final Price: $.55 Moneymaker
Transaction #2
Buy 5 Tide Detergent $5.94 each ($29.70)
Buy 1 Home Solutions Tissues Box $.99
Use 5 $2 Tide Detergent from 5/3 P&G or $1 Tide Detergent coupon
Also use $9 ECB from previous transaction
Pay $11.69 plus tax, Get $10 CVS CashCard (Limit 1 per week per the ad, but check your receipt to be sure!)
Final Price: $10.69
Walgreens
Transaction #1
Buy 1 Playtex Sippy Cups, Bottles or Bottle Accessories $3.99
Use recent $2 Playtex printable (no longer available) or $1.50 Playtex coupon (use this first!)
Use $2 Playtex Bottles or Sippy Cups, Nipples or Nursers, or Diaper Genie II Refills from Walgreens May coupon booklet
Final Price: As low as Free
Remember that you can also get Nexcare Bandages for only $1.12 each and Altoids for only $.49 each while you’re there!
If you did this, you’d walk away spending $20.14 out of pocket and still have a $10 CVS CashCard. That means you’re walking having spent only $10.14 and you’ll be getting a bunch of stuff – including five bottles of detergent! 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!
