CVS Scenarios - week of 12/5

Is it bad that I am totally uninspired by the CVS ad this week? There weren't many deals that jumped out at me. I am curious about a few, but I don't know shelf price, so I'm just not sure how good of a deal some of them might be. Here are a couple of deals to check out though.

Transaction #1
2 - Thermacare 2ct

-$3 Thermacare 2ct IP
-$3 Thermacare 2ct IP

Total $6.58 OOP, earn $4 ECBs.

Transaction #2
1 - LL Bean $50 Gift Card

Total $50. Pay with $4 ECBs and $46 OOP, earn $10 ECBs.

Transaction #3
4 - ZhuZhu Pets
1 - Ice Cubes Gum (filler)

-$9.99 Buy 2 Get 1 Free CVS coupon

Total $10.98. Pay with $10 ECB and $.98 OOP. Now, I'll give you that $9.99 is a little high for one ZhuZhu pet, but when you can get four for that price, if you are planning to get them, this is a good price. My kids enjoy them, but I won't be adding to the hamster collection that we have.

Did you see the Pynk Ready Frames? I like this idea. When you purchase a Pynk Ready Frame, you can get a Smart Print Free with your Extra Care Card. Essentially, it is a collage frame and you can print one sheet that fits the frame and the openings from the Kiosk. I always struggle to keep pictures aligned in a collage - I use tape, but still it seems that something moves. So, this is something I might look into the cost of.

The Nivea spend $20 get $5 ECBs and the Tresemme spend $10 get $5 ECBs are both deals that I would like to take a look at. I am pretty sure I have some Nivea coupons and might even have a Tresemme coupon. I don't know what things cost though, so it might not be worth it to me - I still have a pretty good stock of both bodywash and shampoo/conditioner, but I will see. The P&G, spend $30 get $10 offer is also an interesting one. I'll have to look at my coupon match ups and see - if you need diapers, this might be a deal to consider.
