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 2 Garnier Fructis Shampoo or Conditioner 2/$6
Use 2 $2 Garnier Fructis Shampoo, Conditioner or Treatment from 4/10 RP
Pay $2 plus tax, Get $2 ECB
Final Price: Free
Transaction #2
Buy 2 Maybelline Baby Lips $3.79 each regular price ($7.58)
Use 2 $1 Maybelline New York Lip Product printable
Use $2 app only coupon
Also use $2 ECB from previous transaction
Pay $1.58 plus tax, Get $5 ECB
Final Price: $1.42 Moneymaker
Remember that you can also get Arizona Tea for only $.50 each, L’Oreal Advanced Hair Care for only $.75 each plus more! Find more CVS deals here.
Walgreens
Transaction #1
Buy Arm & Hammer or Arrid Ultra Max Deodorant $.99
Use $.50 Arrid or Arm & Hammer Ultra Max from 3/13 RP
Final Price: $.49
Remember that you can also get Prego Pasta Sauce for $1.05 each, Post Cereal for only $1.49 plus more! Find more Walgreens deals here.
If you did this, you’d walk away spending $4.07 out of pocket and still have $5 ECB. That means you’re walking away having MADE $.93 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!
