My Shopping Trip: CVS & Walgreens

The links in the post below may be affiliate links. Read the full disclosure.

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
-(2)$2/1 Tide Coupons from the 10/30 PG
-(3)$3/1 Oral B Coupons from the 11/27 PG
-(2)$2/2 Glade Coupons (NLA)
-$20.95 in ECBs from Black Friday Shopping
