I am so glad that I looked at the CVS paper today. CVS is having some specials on things you can get for free.
For today only you can get Hershey’s Pot of Gold, plastic Easter eggs, and jelly beans for free. Limit 2 each. When I say free, I mean that you buy them and then CVS gives you back the same amount you spent in CVS bucks to spend on something else.
Here are some other things that are free right now:
- Maybelline lipgloss (limit 1) - $8.99
- Oral B Pro Health toothbrushes (limit 2) – $4.99
- Listerine Smart Rinse for Kids (limit 2) - $2.99
- Colgate Total Advance 4 oz (limit 5) - $2.99
If you get the Listerine, make sure you look for the rebate on the display. That means you can get it for free and get another $2.99 back from the manufacturer. You can also combine manufacturer’s coupons with these and save even more money.
I ended up with 2 Hershey’s Pot of Gold chocolates, 2 packages of Easter eggs, 2 bags of jelly beans, 2 Oral B toothbrushes, 1 Listerine, 1 lipgloss, and 3 Colgate toothpastes. I spent $13.94 before tax and I returned home with another $13.94 in Extra Care Bucks for later. CVS also emailed me a coupon for $4 off my next $20 purchase. In the next week or so, I’m going to purchase $20 in stuff, use my $4 coupon, and my $13.94 in CVS bucks, and only pay approximately $4 for the stuff. I also have a coupon for $2 off a CVS brand purchase, so I could combine that one too. Pretty cool, huh?
I love saving money! Please tell us if you’ve found any deals lately!
Thank you so much for the tip. I went yesterday to get two toothbrushes and used a $2.00 off coupon so I got $9.98 in CVS bucks for $7.98. Now that is a deal.
I did find that on their website (no Rx). Oh well -it is still a great idea!
You cannot use Extra Care Bucks or CVS coupons on Prescriptions at our CVS.
Remember to save the coupons for your extra-bucks. I figured they tracked the amount of extra-bucks with their system…and threw my receipts away. Big mistake!
Rachel: I don’t know if they have rules about what you can and can’t use them for. I haven’t heard of any rules. You may want to give them a call though.
That’s great! Thank you for the tip! Can you use the CVS bucks for prescriptions by any chance?
I had no clue that they did that. Thanks for the tip.
