1 1 minute read

Hey neighbors! It’s Paulette here. If you know me, you know I can’t pass up a good bargain: especially when it’s practically free. Today, April 28, is a goldmine for anyone looking to stretch their dollar at our favorite neighborhood stops, CVS and Walgreens.

Here are the top three deals you need to grab before you head home today.

1. CVS: Your Favorite Memory for Free

CVS is giving away a Free 8×10 Photo Print today! All you have to do is use the code FREE4APRIL at checkout on the CVS website or app. Choose “In-Store Pickup” to skip the shipping costs. It’s the perfect time to print that family photo you’ve been keeping on your phone.

2. Walgreens: Dove Hair Care for $1

I love a good “layering” hack. Right now, Walgreens has Dove Hair Care on sale for 2 for $6. When you buy two, you earn $4 in Walgreens Cash. That brings your total down to just $2 for both bottles: or just $1 each! Check your Walgreens app for any extra digital coupons to see if you can get that price even lower.

3. Walgreens: Stock Up on Storage

Need to organize the pantry? Walgreens brand food storage bags are Buy 1, Get 2 FREE. This makes each box roughly 93 cents. At that price, it’s worth grabbing a few for the school lunches or leftover snacks.

Paulette’s Pro-Tip: The Art of Layering

The secret to these “better than free” deals is layering. Always check your store apps for “Manufacturer Coupons” and “Store Coupons” that can be used on the same item. Combine those with rewards like Walgreens Cash or CVS ExtraBucks, and you’ll be walking out with a full bag for just a few cents.
