Great sale prices are slim this week, but among the few good deals include better than free toothpaste and decent prices for Pantene products and toilet paper.
Remember that this is a starting list of deals for the week. We will update this list as readers leave comments with bargains they found at their local store, we get emails with deal ideas or we read about other deals across the blogosphere. Items that are added throughout the week will be noted as NEW. Items whose final price changes as a result of a new or modified coupon scenario will be noted as UPDATED. At least once this week we will send out a reminder to come back and check this list for the hottest new deals.
Your turn: What other deals did you find this week at CVS?

I don’t have a cat, but it sounds like a good deal at $0.14 per can.
I am sick of the Pioneer Press, they are always missing coupons that Star Trib has. I picked up two Pioneer’s today. This week they didn’t have the B1G1 Right Guard coupon and were missing a RP and SS ad that the Star Trib had!! No more buying Pioneer Press for me…
Jordan–that’s a known issue with the Pioneer Press. Star Trib is the best choice when it comes to coupons. When buying the Trib paper at the store you still need to check for inserts as store papers get the inserts after home delivered papers.
If you subscribe to the Sunday Pioneer Press, you will get the coupons. Also, it depends on where you buy the paper. Some zip codes get more coupons than others.
I subscribe to the Strib and PP and though I usually get the same number of inserts in each paper, I often find coupons in the Strib inserts that are missing from the PP. That, and the fact that I cannot get a Sunday-only subscription to PP has led me to decide not to renew. I’d like to get 2 Stribs home delivered but not sure how to do that…
Deal idea on Spend 15 Get $5 ECB on PepsiCo:
Buy (2) Lipton Iced Tea 12 packs 5.99 = $11.98 (use $2 off 2 – 12 packs) “can’t remember where got this one
Buy (1) Tostitos 2.99 – $1= 1.99 (use $1 off Tostitoes AND Free Pepsi Max 2-Liter with Tostitos purchase “in this weeks paper (moments to save booklet)”
Spend 13.97 – $5 ECB= 8.97 for 2 Lipton Tea 12 packs, 1 Tostitos and 1 free Pepsi Max 2-liter
Deal Idea on Pepsi .88 I have a bunch of .55 off making 2 liters .33
Many of these coupons “Moments to Save” match up with CVS:
2 Sun Chips/$6.00: use $2.00/2 = 4.00 PLUS use Free Sierra Mist 2 liter with purchase of Sunchips or Kettle Chips
Sobe 5/5: use 1.50/5 = 3.50
Also at Target there were Starbucks Saver Books with coupons for $1/1 4-pack DoubleShot and $1/1 Frappaccion 4-pack, making these 4.00 each towards 5 ECB PepsiCo deal.
Ivory Soap (3 pack) is on sale for .99 and there is a coupon for $1 off in P&G from 5/1. Makes it free. You pay only sales tax. Got 9 bars for .20. Woot Woot!
My 2nd time to CVS this week and I got the Colgate MaxFresh & a Tostitos Scoops. I used a $1 Colgate coupon and $ 3 Extra Bucks. At the bottom of my receipt, I got the $2.77 Extra Bucks for the Colgate, but then I also got another $2.00 Extra bucks right below that. Does anyone know why I got the extra $2.00 Extra Bucks?
Can I use more than one of my ECBs at one time? Or is it like walgreens where its one per item? I’m new to both the reward programs and I’m still a little confused.

What about the Bic Soleil Razor or 4 cartridge pack for .99 after coupon and ECB? Is that a good deal or ?
I see the same deal listed in Wags list. I will get at cvs as they are nice about cons and customer service.

Shannon–you can use as many ECBs in an order as long as they don’t cover the cost of tax. Makes for very inexpensive totals :)
