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!

If you did this, you’d walk away spending $11.52 out of pocket and still have $5 ECB, $.30 from SavingStar, $4 RR and 90 points. That means you’re walking away having spent only $2.13 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!
