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

Buy 1 Dawn Dish Soap $.99
Buy 1 Tampax Pearl or Radiant Tampons $3.99
Use $.50 Dawn from 8/31 P&G
Use $2 Tampax Pearl or Radiant Tampon from 7/27 P&G (exp 8/31)
Final Price: $2.48
*Note – if you have a little one in diapers or training pants, get those at CVS for only $3.99 with no coupons needed!
Walgreens

If you did this, you’d walk away spending $15.44 out of pocket and still have $6.50 RR and 3,000 points and $.50 from SavingStar. That’s only $5.44 for everything 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!
