Black Friday Shopping Trips (plus a linky)

in CVS, My Shopping Trip, Other Deals

I went to CVS & Walgreens on Thanksgiving Day to take advantage of some of the great freebies.  I shared my Black Friday Drug Store Shopping plan on Wednesday, but Walgreens didn’t work out as expected.  Unfortunately, the Secret Expression deodorant wasn’t on sale, it was the spray.  That threw my entire plan off, so I worked this out while in the store. 

I was thrilled with my CVS trip!  I realized when going through my receipts that the Gillette Odor Shield Deodorant limit is actually 2 instead of 1.  I may go back for another one!  Also, the Volvo Pkwy store had items on an end shelf if you’re looking for some of the freebies that aren’t on the aisle shelves.

    I went to Walgreens for a few things. The register rewards weren’t printing at all! She voided every thing out and gave me the cash instead! I ended up spending about $28 but that gave me a savings of $78! I got a few non free things but was really happy with the end result!

    You had a great trip to WAGS! Sorry you had trouble with the RR not printing. Makes your trip longer. Well, at least you got the cash to put right back into more freebies or groceries. Thanks for sharing!
