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 6 L’Oreal Ideal Clean Wipes or Ideal Clean Foaming Gel Cleanser $4.99 each (online price) ($29.94)

Walgreens
Transaction #1
Buy 1 Advil Congestion Relief 10 ct $4.99
Buy 1 Advil Allergy & Congestion Relief 10 ct $4.99
Buy Accu-Chek Nano Blood Glucose Monitor $14.99
Use 2 $2 Advil Congestion Relief coupons

Final Price: $3.02 Moneymaker
If you did ALL of this, you’d walk away spending $68.87 out of pocket (far less if you don’t need diapers, toilet paper or paper towels) and still have $10 in Gas Cards, $4 back from Ibotta, 5,000 points and a $14.99 rebate from Accu-Check. That’s only $24.88 for everything and you’ll be getting a TON of stuff – including diapers, paper towels and toilet paper! 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!
