Here is my shopping trip to CVS & Walgreen however, I did not actually do “my shopping trip”. In case you didn’t see the conversation on Facebook, I am laid up with a really bad back. One of the worst I’ve ever had. Totally stinks. Totally! But, fortunately for me, I can type laying down and I have kids that drive.
Knowing that my Tide coupons were going to expire today, I sent my daughter Megan out for me. She had already done a CVS Gift Card deal this week so she was already familiar with the products included in the deal. The only thing I feared was whether or not everything was going to be in stock. And, low and behold, it was!
Here was my trip:
CVS:
Buy 2 Tide Laundry Detergent $5.49 each
Buy 3 Oral B Power Toothbrushes $4.99 each
Buy 4 Glade Air Freshner $0.99 each
Buy 1 Complete Contact Solution $8.99
