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 L’Oreal Advanced Shampoo or Conditioner 2/$9 wyb 2 (or $4.99 each regular price)
Buy 1 Honey Nut Cheerios Cereal $2
Use $2 L’Oreal Advanced Shampoo or Conditioner from 7/26 RP or $2 L’Oreal Styler from 8/2 RP
Use $.50 Honey Nut Cheerios cereal coupon
Pay $6.50, Get $4 ECB from L’Oreal and $.50 Honey Nut Cheerios from SavingStar
Final Price: $2 plus tax
Transaction #2
Buy 6 All Liquid Detergent 26-33 loads 2/$7 ($21)
Use 6 $1.50 All Detergent coupon (or $2/2 All Detergent from 8/2 SS)
Also use $4 ECB from previous transaction
Pay as low as $8 plus tax, Get $5 Extra Care Bucks
Final Price: 6/$7 ($1.33 each)
Walgreens
Transaction #1
Buy 3 Purex Detergent 3/$6 (wyb 3)
Buy 2 Paper Mate Eagle Ballpoint Pens 10 pk $.29
Use 1 $.55 Paper Mate from 7/26 SS
Use 3 $1 Purex Detergent from 8/2 RP
Pay $3.30 plus tax, Get 60 Everyday Points
Final Price: $3.24 plus tax
If you did this, you’d walk away spending $17.80 out of pocket and still have a $5 ECB, $.50 from SavingStar and 60 points. That means you’re walking having spent only $12.74 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!
