It’s a good week for CVS and Walgreens shopping! It’s it say that I’m happy for the weeks where there aren’t excellent deals, but less complicated deals? I know I’m not alone. The one big problem that I found with the shop I’d planned for myself was that we didn’t get the B2G1 Suave Body Wash coupon in Chicago. $.66 per body wash at CVS or Walgreens is a great price, so do those deals if you got the coupons! With a $.50 coupon, we’re paying more per bottle and have to buy more papers. It just wasn’t worth it. The only other bummer was that things didn’t price such that I could use my existing ECB or points, but that’s why we shop every week!
Here’s what I did: (and thank you to my favorite 5-year old for designing the lovely photo you see above.)
CVS
2 Colgate Toothpaste $2.99 each (Used 2 $1 from 1/19 SS or here)
Paid $3.98 plus tax, Got $4 ECB
Final Price: Free!
Walgreens
Transactions #1, #2, #3
K-Y Ultra Gel $5.99 (Used $2 here or from 12/28 RP)
Paid $3.99 (each time) plus tax, Got $6 RR (each time)
Final Price: $6 Moneymaker! (after three transactions)
Transaction #4
3 Pantene Shampoo $3.49 each
3 Pantene Conditioner $3.49 (Used 3 Buy Shampoo, Get Conditioner Free from 1/26 P&G)
4 Nature Valley Granola Bar Boxes 2/$5 (Used 4 $.50 from 1/26 SS)
Paid $18.47 plus tax, Got $2 RR from Nature Valley, 2,000 points from Nature Valley and 5,000 points from Pantene
Final Price: $9.47
After all was said and done I paid a total of $3.47 for everything. I have a few more K-Y coupons that I plan to use later this week (for a $2 moneymaker each purchase!), but because my Walgreens had only five in stock, I didn’t want to take them all. I’m a patient shopper. I’ll go back the day they get more in stock. 😉
