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 1 Ajax Dish Liquid 12.6 oz $.88
Buy 2 Brookside Bar 1.4 oz 2/$2
Use $.39 Ajax from Red Instant Coupon Machine
Use $.25 Ajax Dish Liquid from 4/17 SS
Use $.50/2 Brookside Dark Chocolate Fruit & Nut Bars from 4/17 SS
Pay $1.74 plus tax, Get $1 ECB from Brookside
Final Price: $.74
Transaction #2
Buy 2 L’Oreal Advanced Hair Care 2/$8
Use $4/2 L’Oreal Advanced Haircare Shampoo or Conditioner Products from 4/10 RP
Also use $1 ECB from previous transaction
Pay $3 plus tax, Get $4 ECB
Final Price: Free
Remember that you can also get Hershey’s Snack Bits for only $.50 each, All Detergent for only $1.99 plus more! Find more CVS deals here.
Walgreens
Transaction #1
Buy 1 Snickers Crispers 10.61 oz $3

Final Price: $.03 Moneymaker
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 $7.74 out of pocket and still have $4 ECB, $3 RR and 30 Everyday Points. That means you’re walking away having spent only $.71 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!
