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 CVS Advanced Glucose Meter Test Strips 50 ct $9.99
Pay $9.99 plus tax, Get $9.99 ECB
Final Price: Free!
Transaction #2
Buy 2 Schick Hydro 5 Disposable Razor Pk $12.99 each ($25.98)
Use $3/$10 Razors coupon from Red Instant Coupon Machine (printed for some this week)
Use BUY ONE GET ONE FREE Schick Disposable Razor Pack coupon
Use $9.99 ECB from previous transaction
Pay $0 plus tax, Get $10 ECB
Final Price: $.01 Moneymaker
Remember that you can also get Crest Sensitive for only $.54 and Huggies for only $4.32 per pack this week!
Walgreens
Transaction #1
Buy Firefly Kids Toothbrush $1.99
Use $1 Firefly Product from 5/4 SS
Pay $.99 plus tax, Get $1 RR
Final Price: Free
Transaction #2
Buy 3 Trident, Dentyne or Stride 3/$2
Use $1 RR from previous transaction
Pay $1 plus tax, Get 1,000 points
Final Price: $1
Remember to pick up your free Jell-O Gelatin or Pudding Box (exp 12/7) while you’re out!
If you did this, you’d walk away spending $11.98 out of pocket and still have $10 ECB and 1,000 points. That’s only $.98 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!
