CVS Shopping - Week of 5/22-5/28



Here are the best deals that I see at CVS this week. Most exciting is the new $10 gas promotion! I've included one scenario below and will keep you posted if I see any other good ones!   

Coupon lingo:

ECBs = Extra Care Bucks (you must have an Extra Care Card) - you can use these like cash in CVS on any purchase that exceeds the amount of the ECB
RP = Red Plum coupon insert that you find in the Sunday newpapers
SS = SmartSource coupon insert
PG = Proctor & Gamble coupon insert
P&G Everyday Savings book is a coupon book that was mailed out to those who requested it about a month ago (no longer available).

There is also a new CVS coupon booklet available in CVS stores, it called the Reinventing Beauty booklet -- definitely see if you can snag it in your store as there are many great coupons in it. Some stores have the coupon insert inside a $.99 magazine that has Natalie Portman on the cover. Others have it free.
