CVS 12/20-12/26 Ad

CVS Weekly Ad Scan for 12/20-12/26

Click on the link above to see the ad scan for this next week! I like the Nivea, Secret Clinical, Energizer batteries(great for all those Christmas presents that require batteries), Listerine, ThermaCare, Crest and Glade Lasting Impressions deals! If you need Lysol products they have some pretty good prices this week on a few items(if you have ECB's that you need to use these might be great items to stock up on at the good prices plus they have ECB's on them too! ) Use any coupons that you might have to make the deals even better!

2010 Sunday Coupon Insert Schedule

There should be no inserts this week but there are rumors that there might be $5 off $50 for Publix coupon and maybe some other small items of interest. So check your paper before you buy! There may be a P&G insert 12/27, so check that paper for it!

2 Scotch 3M Packing Tapes $6.98
1 Puffs Tissue $.89 w/in ad coupon
Pack of notecards $1.19
2 Scotch Bubble Mailers 2 for $1 w/in ad coupon
Total: around $48( I can't remember exactly)
- (2) $1off coupons on any Nivea Body

= $25.34( Got back $4RR for Nivea, $5RR for the $5RR wyb $25 two day deal, Free RR for Crest ProHealth up to $6.49 value)

So really I paid $12.85 for all that!!! The paper towels alone would have cost me that much if I had paid full price!! I will have to turn around quickly though to use the $5RR as it expires this Sunday and the other two expire 12/30. Guess I'll be going back to Walgreens soon- maybe to do the John Frieda deal!!
