My CVS And Walgreens Shops (Moneymakers, Freebies And More!)

Thank goodness for easy shops at our favorite drugstores! I couldn’t believe it, but I was in and out of both stores in less than 20 minutes (minus drive time). Be sure to read the scoop on the Nivea Lip Balm at CVS before shopping because those issues could totally throw you off. (That being said, Nivea was a little more expensive in Chicago than what you may see in other areas) Here’s what I did:

CVS

6 Speed Stick $1.99 each (Used 3 B1G1 from 1/19 SS)
3 Nivea Lip Balm $2.75 each (wy2 2 or more)

Paid $2.22 plus tax, Got $6 ECB from Speed Stick and $5 ECB from Nivea
Final Price: $3.22

Transaction #2
3 Nivea Lip Balm $2.75 each (wyb 2 or more)

Transaction #2
2 Capri Sun Boxes 2/$4 (Used $1.50/2 Capri Sun coupon (zip 020202)
1 i-Cool Hot Flash Wipes $6
H+Care Wipes $7

I know that some of you have been concerned about using the Capri Sun coupon at Walgreens, but mine went through without a hitch. It IS a manufacturer’s coupon and Walgreens will be reimbursed for it, but some cashiers will balk at the “Redeem at Shaw’s.” Just be kind and if it doesn’t work for you, try again with another cashier or at a different store. Happy shopping!
