My CVS And Walgreens Shops (Moneymaking PediaCare, Free Skinny Cow & More!)

Yay shopping! Haven’t been able to get out shopping the last two weeks because of the holidays so today was like a breath of fresh air. Except that you could barely breathe because of the snowstorm in Chicago, but that’s okay. I was the only one in the stores, so I’m not complaining! I went out shopping first thing this morning, so I did not get the Slim-Fast deal or the Met-RX deal (yet!!), so don’t forget to include those in your shops this week! Here’s what I did:

CVS
1 PediaCare Cold $5.99 (Used $2 PediaCare coupon)
2 Nature Valley Granola Bars 2/$6 (Used 2 $1.25 coupons (no longer available)
2 Ricola Cough Drops 2/$3 (Used $1/2 from 1/5 RP or $1/2 here)
2 Skinny Cow Candy 2/$2 (Used B1G1 from 1/5 SS)
1 Twix Bar $.75 (Used $.75 from Red Instant Coupon Machine)
1 Contour Next Glucose Meter
Used $19 in ECB from previous weeks
Paid $1.40 plus tax, Got $5 ECB from PediaCare, $2 ECB from Nature Valley, $10 ECB from Contour, $.50 SavingStar for Nature Valley, $1 SavingStar for Skinny Cow (ends today!!)
Final Price: $1.90

When all was said and done I spent $10.38. Considering all that I was able to get – most of which I actually needed for my household! – I’m pretty pleased. I saved 97% at CVS and 73% at Walgreens. I’m good with that! And best of all, there was absolutely no register drama! Happy shopping!
