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 7-Up, A&W, Canada Dry or Sunkist 2-liter $.99
Use $.30 from Red Instant Coupon Machine

*Note – don’t forget about getting Pampers for $4.49 each or Planters Peanuts for $1.66 per jar if those interest you!
Walgreens

If you did this, you’d walk away spending $22.15 out of pocket and still have 4,850 points and $14.99 from the rebate. That’s only $2.31 for everything and you’ll be getting a bunch of stuff!
