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
Transaction #1
Buy PediaCare Cough & Cold $5.99
Use $1 PediaCare Product printable
Pay $4.99 plus tax, Get $5 ECB
Final Price: Free
Transaction #2
Buy 6 Pantene Shampoo or Conditioner 3/$10
Buy 3 Pantene Stylers 3/$10
Use 3 $2 Pantene Stylers coupons from 11/30 P&G (exp 12/31) or 12/28 P&G
Use 2 $5/3 Pantene from 12/28 P&G
Also use $5 ECB from previous transaction
Pay $9 plus tax, Get $10 ECB
Final Price: $4
Remember that you can get Tide Detergent for only $2.14 per bottle (you’ll have to choose this deal OR the Pantene above since the deal limit on P&G is one) and DiGiorno Pizza for only $3.66 each as well!
Walgreens
Transaction #1
Buy 3 Crest Pro-Health Rinse 3/$9
Use 3 $1.10 Crest Rinse coupons
Pay $5.70 plus tax, Get $3.75 RR
Final Price: 3/$1.95
Don’t forget that you can also get Purex Crystals for only $2.50 each as well! And remember to pick up your free Hunt’s Tomato Paste (exp 12/28) while you’re out!
If you did this, you’d walk away spending $19.69 out of pocket and still have $10 ECB and $3.75 RR. That’s only $5.94 total 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!
