It seems many times that there are several similar deals from week to week in competitor stores. I would think that we all want to make wise decisions with our money. For example, this week, Walgreens, Target, and CVS all have a pretty good deal on John Frieda Products. I have listed each deal below and what you would pay out of pocket for each. What do you think is the better deal? As you look at the comparable deals below (and other similar deals as they occur), here are some questions you might want to consider.
1. Which deal has me spending the LEAST out of pocket?
2. Do I have ECBs or RRs expiring or that I need to use soon that I could put toward this deal?
3. Is this a wise use of my ECBs or RRs on this item, is it something that I need or is it something high on my priority want list?
4. Do I have to drive across town spending gas money that might not be necessary just for this one deal, when I could go somewhere closer for a very similar deal?
