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

Buy 2 Suave Hair Care 2/$6
Buy 1 Caliber Glue 5 oz or Paper Mate Mechanical Pencils 5 ct $.99
Use $3/2 Suave Professionals Gold Hair Care Products from 8/7 RP
Pay $3.99 plus tax, Get $2 ECB from Suave and $.50 ECB from Caliber/Paper Mate
Final Price: $1.49
Remember that you can also get Palmolive Dish Soap for only $.74, Playtex Tampons for only $2.99 plus more! Find more CVS deals here.
Walgreens
Transaction #1
Buy 1 Colgate Total or Optic White Toothpaste $3.99

If you did this, you’d walk away spending $14.43 out of pocket and still have $2.50 ECB, $6 RR, 1,000 points and 160 Everyday Points. That means you’re walking away having spent only $4.77 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!
