CVS Deals - Week of 10/09/2011

• Playtex Sport tampons: $7.99 on sale, one $2 manufacturer's coupon, $3 Extra Bucks back.
• Finish Powertab dishwashing tabs: $2.99 on sale, one $1 manufacturer's coupon.
• Lipton iced tea bottles: 5/$5 on sale, three $1/2 manufacturer's coupons, $1 Extra Bucks back.

One thing I hadn't mentioned before is the benefit of joining the CVS Beauty Club.  It's free to join, and all it takes is to sign up and then link it to your existing CVS card.  You get $5 Extra Bucks back for every $50 in beauty products that you spend, and get coupons for items as well.

For example, this week I received an email coupon for $2 off any Dial product.  I used that towards:

• Dial 3-pack soap:  $1.88 on sale, $1 Extra Bucks back.

Because CVS takes off the coupon amount ($2) even if it's over the item price ($1.88), it makes sense to buy something small to cover the remaining overage.  In this case, I bought a bag of CVS brand candy for $0.88 with the soap, and spent only $0.93 total for both.  

Happy shopping, everyone!
