CVS Deals – Week of 4/25

I’m not a huge Ellen fan, but I happened onto this video where she challenged the people of Boston to meet at CVS.  They were each supposed to bring three items, one beginning with a C, one beginning with a V, and one beginning with an S.  The most creative ones were put into a drawing to win a $5,000 CVS gift card.  Do you have any idea how much we could turn that $5,000 into?  I don’t know if they can print that many Extra Care Bucks.  Here’s the video in case you want to imagine that it was YOU who won! 

Here are the best deals that I see at CVS this week. Note: If you’re new to CVS shopping, be sure to read my post HERE before you begin.
