BioTrue Saline Solution

I went back to CVS with a $2 off coupon on 2oz or larger sized bottle of BioTrue saline solution. I had previously purchased this to get the $2.99 ECB. I thought it was limit one & I've already fulfilled that. I figured it for $1, this was still worth it (I need it anyway). To my surprise, the limit is 2, so I got another $2.99 ECB back on my receipt. The store no longer have signs for this deal but it's apparantly still going on. So go grab a 2nd bottle & use your online coupons for this deal. Definitely a nice money maker!

Free Dove bars at CVS

CVS coupon machine is spitting out $0.79 off coupons for Large Dove bars. I found the regular sized bars by the cash register on sale for 2/$1. I had one from the previous week, so I purchased 2 for Free. You should purchase another item to get the overage otherwise you'll lose it.

Aveeno Ageless Vitality

Aveeno is offering a $20 rebate if you purchase the Aveeno Ageless Vitality by 8/31.

The box cost approximately $40, so after the rebate, it will be $20. Many stores have extra coupons you can use to make it even cheaper.

CVS currently has a deal, if you buy the box for $39.99, you get $10 Extra Care Bucks to use for a later purchase. So, it will really cost you $10 in the end.

OR do this deal instead:
There's also a $5.00 coupon if you complete the registration page that can be used on an in-store purchase of any POSITIVELY AGELESS™ Sunblock.

At CVS, buy 2 Aveeno Positively Ageless Sunblock. The cheapest item I've seen is $12.99, so buy 2. Print 2 of the $5 coupons (on the bottom of the page), making it $15.98 for both items or $7.99 each, but you get $10 ECB back so it really cost you $5.98 for both items.

Note: You can only do one of the above deals since the ECB is Limit 1 only.

Baskin Robbins
