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 Crest Sensitive Rinse $4.79
Use $2 Crest Mouthwash from 9/13 RP
Pay $2.79 plus tax, Get $3 ECB
Final Price: $.21 Moneymaker
Transaction #2
Buy 6 Suave Body Wash $2 each ($12)
Use 3 B1G1 Suave from 9/27 RP (coupon may be regional)
Also use $3 ECB from previous transaction
Pay $3 plus tax, Get $4 ECB
Final Price: $2
Remember that you can also get Tide Detergent for only $1.94 each, $.75 Dawn Dish Soap, some nice deals on Almay and $.74 Puffs Tissues while you’re there! Find more CVS deals here.
Walgreens
Transaction #1
Buy 1 Crest Pro-Health Mouthwash 16 or 33.8 oz $4.99
Buy 1 Walgreens Trueresult or True Metrix Blood Glucose Monitor $12.99
Buy 1 Dawn Dish Soap $.99
Use $2 Crest Mouthwash from 9/13 RP (or Use $1.50 Crest Pro-Health Advanced Mouthwash Printable)

If you did this, you’d walk away spending $22.51 out of pocket and still have $4 ECB, $3 RR, $12.99 from rebate and 180 points. That means you’re walking having spent only $2.34 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!
