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!

Feel free to keep rolling the Crystal Light, GUM and Starbucks deals to keep rolling your moneymakers!
If you did this, you’d walk away spending $9.55 out of pocket and still have $4 ECB, 150 points and $3 RR. That’s only $2.40 for everything and you’ll be getting a TON of stuff! Also, don’t forget that you can also get cheap diapers at CVS! 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!
