For those that have been looking to get into couponing, there isn't really a better place to start than CVS! During the holidays, they are running a promotion where if you buy $30 of select products, you get your pick of a $10 gift card. When I went last week there was American Express cards, Gap, Macys, CVS (great to just reuse on your next coupon trip) and more! I have heard through the grapevine that it takes a few hours for the AmEx cards to be active so you won't be able to do separate transactions and use the cards right away.
CVS puts their ad up for the next week on the Thursday before. So you can go today to cvs.com and click on weekly ad. You then click the tab for "Upcoming Weekly Ad." This way if you don't have the coupons you need you can get them in while those sales are going.

So you have lots of options here! You can get up to 5 gift cards a week. So if you spent $150 in these products, you would get $50 back in gift cards. Here are a few scanarios:
Also, keep in mind, you have to hit the $30 before tax but also before coupons!
1. Need for baby formula
Buy 4 Enfamil Formulas @ $22.99 each = $91.96
This qualified for 3 gift cards!
Use the $5/2 coupons = $10 off
$91.96
- $10.00 Manufacturer's coupons (MC)
$81.96 + tax = $86.87
You will get $30 in gift cards bringing your total to $56.87 for 4 things of formula.That's $14.22 each! I'm no expert on babies (for sure) but amazon and target sell this same thing for about $23 normally so I guess that's pretty good?
Only need 2 things of formula?
2 Enfamil formula @ $22.99 each = $45.98
options:
1. Get just the formula:
Use one coupon and get one giftcard ($10 off) = $33.44 (with tax figured in).
$16.72 each
2. Get paper towel, toilet paper, and a box of holiday card with it to hit $60 and get the extra card
$45.98 for formula
+ $ 4.99 paper towels
+ $7.49 toilet paper
+ $1.99 holiday cards
$60.45 - $7 MC = $53.45 + tax = $56.66
**Coupons used: $1/1 paper towels, $1/1 toilet paper, $5/2 formula
You will then get the 2 gift cards! So you will have spend after gift cards $36.66!
Scenario 2: Need for paper products:
You could do a lot of combos just depending on what you need.
Get 3 things of toilet paper and 2 packs of paper towels:
3 toilet paper @ $7.49 = $22.47
2 paper towels @ $4.99 = $9.98
$32.45
Use (3) $1/1 toilet paper and (2) $1/1 paper towels.
Total after MC = $27.45 + tax = $29.09
Then you will get $10 on a gift card!
So your total is $19.09
Scenario 3: Advil and Claritin
1 Claritin @ $18.99
2 Advils @ $7.99 = $15.98
$34.97
Use the $4/1 Claritin and (2) $1/1 Advils
$34.97 - $6 MC = $28.97 + tax = 30.70
Get the $10 gift card and your total is : $20.70
Scenario 4: Just need coke and an Advil
$12/3 canned Coke
get 6 = $24
Buy $6 in the category = Advil @ 7.99 OR pick out some makeup

$24 + $7.99 = $31.99
$1/1 Advil MC
$30.99 + tax = $32.85
Get $10 back: $22.85

I don't know the prices off hand, but this is an idea from online (original prices)

$7.49 20 Hour foundation
$5.69 pressed powder
$7.49 - $8.99 mascara
$6.99 Lip gloss or lip stick
$6.49 eye liner roll up
$3.49 eye pencil
$5.69 bronzer
Scanerio with the Rimmel Makeup:
Buy 2 Perfect Foundations @ 5.99 with B1G1 50% = $8.98
OR 2 pressed powders @ 5.69 with B1G1 50% = $8.53Buy 2 of the $7.49 mascaras with B1G1 50%= $11.23
OR 2 of the $8.99 mascaras with B1G1 50% = $13.48
Buy 1 lip glosses or sticks and 1 eye liner @ 6.99 and $6.49 with B1G1 50% = 10.23
If you get the powder and the cheaper mascara your total should be $30 even.
You then will use 6 of the MC to get $6 off! so $24 + tax = $25.44
You then would get a gift card for $10
All that for $15.44!!
You could go and just mix and match what you need! Just remember that you will get the best savings if you have a 50% larger items. That is why the above scanerio has buying doubles and then a lip gloss and eye liner that are close in price. You get the best deal this way!

Get $5 back => Makes the total $7.69 for a higher quality shampoo and conditioner
Spend $30 on Gillette Shaving items, get $10 EB
There aren't great coupons for this right now. The best deal would be to stock up on shaving cream
If your store has it, there is a bottle of Fusion Ultra Sensitive Hydrogel for $2.19 (2.5oz). Use this coupon:
*$2/1 Gillette Fusion shave prep or skin care product
Buy 14 of them and your total is : $30.66
Use 14 of the $2/1 coupons : -$28.00
$ 2.66 + tax = 2.82
***** YOU SPEND $2.82 and get a $10 gift card!! And this is why we love CVS :)
Other option is to get the 7 oz of the fusion gel for $4.59 (internet pricing again)
Buy 7 @ 4.59 = $32.13
-$14.00 MC
$18.13 + tax = 19.22
You still get the $10 gift card with this and it's a total of $9.22 and you will have shaving gel for the year!
This is all I've got for now! If there are any deals that are worth it at the other drug stores I'll throw them up here later!
