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 Zantac 24 or 30 ct $8.99
Buy 3 Barilla Pasta $1 each
Buy 3 7-Up Brand 2-liters $.99 each
Use $4 Zantac from 9/7 SS or 11/2 SS or $4 Zantac coupon
Use $1/3 Barilla Pasta coupon
Use $1/3 7-Up pop coupon
Use $.30 7-Up Brand pop from Red Instant Coupon Machine
Pay $8.66, File for $5 Zantac rebate
Final Price: $3.66
You can also get Jif Peanut Butter and Smucker’s Preserves for only $1.33 each!
Walgreens
Buy 2 Trident Gum $.69 each
Buy 4 Carmex Lip Care 4/$4
Buy 2 Tresemme Hair Care $3.99 each
Use $1/2 Trident from 10/12 SS
Use 2 $1/2 or $.30 Carmex from 10/19 SS (varies by region)
Use 2 $2 Tresemme from 11/2 RP
Use $2/2 Tresemme Walgreens coupon (when you share)
Pay $4.36 plus tax, Get 1,000 points from Carmex and 1,000 points from Tresemme
Final Price: $2.36
You can also get Domino Sugar 4 lb bags for $1.29 each and Skippy Peanut Butter for only $1.45 each! And don’t forget to pick up your free Trident Gum Pack through 11/2 at either store!
If you did this, you’d walk away spending $13.02 out of pocket and still have $5 from Zantac rebate and 2,000 points. That’s only $6.02 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!
