CVS Deals 10/4 - 10/10

There are some good deals at CVS this coming week! To make them even better deals, go here to take a flu IQ quiz and get a coupon for $5 off a $25 purchase. You only need $25 before any other coupons and ECB are scanned (just make sure they scan the $5/$25 first!), so this is really kind of like "free money" in CVS world. Here are the highlights I saw for the week of 10/4:

Colgate Total Advanced toothpaste or 360 ActiFlex toothbrush @ $2.99, get $2 ECB. Limit 1
Use $1 coupon for toothbrush or toothpaste from 9/27 insert
Pay $1.99, get $2 ECB; final cost = FREE after coupon and ECB

Tone or Dial bar soap, 2-3 pk. @ $1.88, get $1 ECB. Limit 1
Use $1 Tone printable coupon or $.35 Dial coupon from 8/16 insert
Pay $.88-$1.53, get $1 ECB; final cost = -$.12 - $.53 after coupon and ECB

Bayer Breeze blood glucose meter @ $14.99, get $5 ECB. Limit 2
Use "up to $30" coupon from 2/1 insert (coupon will only take off the meter's purchase price, since it is under $30)
Pay $0, get $5 ECB; final cost = $5 profit after coupon and ECB

Johnson & Johnson's medicine, selected varieties, buy $20 worth, get $10 ECB. Limit 1
I haven't figured out a way to get it for free, but there are some scenarios you could do to get it relatively cheap, so if it's something you need right now or if you just use a lot of, it might be worth it.

Scenario #1:
Buy 4 Benadryl @ $5 = $20
Use (4) $1 coupons from 8/2 or 8/23 inserts
Pay $16, get $10 ECB; final cost = 4/$6 after coupons and ECB

Scenario #2:
Buy 2 Sudafed @ $7 and 1 Tylenol cold @ $6 = $20
Use (2) $2 Sudafed coupons from 8/2 insert or printable here (Note: printable is valid only on nasal spray) and (1) $2 Tylenol printable coupon
Pay $14, get $10 ECB; final cost = 3/$4 after coupons and ECB

Revlon nail polish @ $3.99, get $3 ECB. Limit 6
Use $1 "color cosmetic" coupon from 9/13 insert
Pay $2.99, get $3 ECB; final cost = FREE after coupon and ECB

CVS Highlights - 9/27 to 10/3

It's not the most outstanding week at CVS, (especially compared to Walgreens - oh my gosh!) but there are some good deals. If you are new to CVS shopping, you'll probably want to check out my post here, which explains how to get the most for your money at CVS.

3-day sale (Sun., Mon., and Tues. only)
Vaseline Sheer Infusion Body Lotion @ $7.99, get $7 ECB, Limit 1
Use $1.50 printable coupon here or here, or $1.50 coupon from 8/2 insert (although the insert coupon expires on Sunday, so use it the first day, unless your CVS accepts expired coupons)
Pay $6.49, get $7 in ECB; final cost = $.49 profit after coupon and ECB

Week-long deals:
Selected P&G products - Buy $25 worth, get $10 ECB, Limit 1
Deal includes Tide @ $6 and Dawn at $1. Personally, I probably won't do this deal, but if you need laundry detergent or are brand-loyal to Tide (I know a lot of people are), this is a pretty good deal. I'm pretty sure this is the lowest price I've ever seen on this particular brand.

Potential deal:
Buy 4 Tide @ $6 and 1 Dawn @ $1 = $25
Use (4) $1/1 Tide from 8/30 P&G or 9/27 P&G inserts and a $.25/1 Dawn, also from either of those inserts
Pay $20.75, get back $10 ECB; final cost = $10.75 for 4 bottles of Tide and 1 Dawn, or a little over $2 each after coupons and ECB

Mom's Best Naturals Oatmeal @ $1
Use $.75/1 printable coupon (you will have to answer a brief questionnaire)
Final cost = $.25 after coupon

Gillette Fusion Razor @ $9.99, get $5
Use $4/1 coupon from 9/27 insert
Pay $5.99 and get $5 ECB; final cost = $.99 after coupon and ECB
**Note: I only recommend this deal if you don't have a Walgreens nearby. You can actually make a profit on them at Walgreens this week, so I plan on using my coupons there instead.

Accu-Chek Aviva Diabetes Monitoring System @ $14.99, get $5 ECB
Use $10/1 coupon from 8/23 insert
Pay $4.99 and get $5 ECB; final cost = -$.01 after coupon and ECB
**Note: Even though you may not need a glucose meter, it can be good to buy this because it bumps your pre-coupon total up if you need to use a purchase-based coupon like $5 off $25 (like this printable one you can get for taking a flu quiz). It ends up being free after coupons and ECB, but you still get almost $15 credit toward the $25 you need to use the coupon.

$5 off $25 purchase at CVS

Go here to print a coupon for $5 off a $25 minimum purchase at CVS. You'll have to take a short quiz about the flu and flu shots, and you'll be able to print the coupon at the end. Remember - these coupons are based on your total before using any other coupons. So, if you have $25 worth of items that are free after ECB and/or coupons, the $5/25 coupon basically lets you get $5 worth of other things that you need for free (I usually use this overage to get groceries, which is one of the reasons our monthly grocery bill is so low).

Note: While it may be possible to print more than one of these coupons per computer, all coupons printed from one computer will have the same unique code on them. If more than one coupon with the same code is redeemed, the register will beep and tell the cashier that the coupon has already been used.

CVS Highlights - Week of 9/20

This isn't really the best week at CVS, but there are a couple good deals:

4 oz. Wheat Thins @ $1

Final cost = free
***If you hit the back button on your browser, you will probably be able to print the coupon twice.

(2) Snickers candy bars @ 2/$1
Use $1/2 coupon from 8/23 insert
Final cost = free

Dry Idea deodorant @ $2.99
Use $2/1 printable coupon (unfortunately, the coupon is no longer available - I printed these a few months ago)
Pay $.99 and get back $1 ECB; final cost = FREE

CVS has several decent deals this week. If you're not familiar with how CVS works, you'll probably want to read my post here, then come back and read about this week's deals; otherwise this post may not make much sense to you.

CVS Deals - Week of 9/6-9/12

It's kind of a slow week for the deals at CVS, but there are a couple things you might want to check out. If you're not familiar with how CVS works, you'll probably want to read my post here, then come back and read about this week's deals; otherwise this post may not make much sense to you.

LifeLock DVD starter kit (identity theft protection trial kit) @ $2.99, get $2.99 in ECB = FREE after ECB

Schick Slim Triple ST3 disposable razors for delicate skin @ $6.99
Use $3 coupon from 8/16 insert
Pay $3.99 (hopefully with other ECB!), get $4 ECB = FREE after ECB!

The ad also mentions that a $100 coupon book is available to people who get a flu shot at a CVS Minute Clinic. Unfortunately, my CVS doesn't have a Minute Clinic, so I can't get a flu shot or the coupon book there, but if your store does have one and you want to get a flu shot, you can at least get some coupons out of the deal.

Hopefully next week will be a better week for CVS shopping!
