CVS and Walgreens both rocked this week! The one thing that I found was that the single Venus Razor did NOT seem to trigger the ECB at my CVS store. Please leave a comment if you did get the ECB because I’d love to know! Here’s what I did:
Walgreens

1 Blow Pop $.49 (filler so that I could use Register Rewards)

After all was said and done, I’d make a total of $.65! That means that I got everything above for free AND I can afford and extra gumball per child. Bonus! The biggest challenge will be figuring out how to burn those $.50 RR from Walgreens, but that is when I tend to fill my orders with items that I need for the household like $.99 eggs or $.33 Jell-O boxes. Hopefully we’ll see some decent fillers in the next two weeks! Good luck with your shops this week!
