Great Deals at CVS

If you can make it to a CVS today, you'll be entitled to some freebies that are only available today (and yesterday). They include a free CVS transparent or invisible tape dispenser and a CVS pencil sharpener or pack of #2 pencils - free after Extra Care Bucks, that is.

But even if you can't make it in today, you can still take advantage of the following deals through next Saturday:

Cheez-it crackers are 2/$4 and there is a Coors rebate flyer at most places that sell beer offering a $2 rebate when you buy two boxes. With that, you can get 2 boxes of Cheez-its for $2.

Popwerades are 5 bottles/$5, which is a good deal.

Dawn dish liquid is 2/$2, but you'll receive $1 in ECBs when you buy 2, bringing the total to 2/$1. And there are $.20 Dawn coupons around, so if you use 2 of them, you'll be able to buy 2 bottles for $.60. That's a great deal.

Colgate Total toothpaste is $1.49 after a $2 ECB and there are $1.50 coupons circulating from a few weeks ago that could bring your total down to free. I think the limit is 1 purchase, however.

Another good deal is on the Tampax Pearl tampons bonus size box. They are 2/$14 this week, minus $4 in ECBS, bringing the cost down to 2/$10. However, if you have any of the $1 coupons, you can get the cost down to 2/$8.

And finally, if you need some batteries, just buy $25 worth of the following P&G products at CVS and receive a 4-pack of Duracell AAA or AA batteries for free: Pringles, Charmin, Basic paper towels, Pantene Pro-V shampoo or conditioner, Tide, Downy, Bounce, Crest, Oral-B, Pampers, Always, Clairol hair color, Clinical Strength, Secret, Old Spice, or Gillette deodorant.
