CVS Ad 5/19: Best Coupon Deals & Sales

Here are the best freebies and deals I spotted in the CVS ad for May 19 - 25, 2013. 

If you're new to shopping at CVS, go here to get started, and be sure to snag a free Extra Care card from your cashier when you head into the store.

Also, be sure to scan your green bag tag (if you have one) before May 31 -- the program is retiring, but CVS will give you a final $2 Extra Bucks reward as a thank-you for participating!

Best deals in the 5/19 CVS ad

• Kraft Mac & Cheese or Velveeta Skillets -- on sale for $2 each, with $5 back in Extra Bucks when you spend $15.  If you can get enough coupons, consider this deal: buy 8 Velveeta Skillets for a pre-coupon price of $16.  Use eight of this $1 off coupon (requires four computers), and pay $8 out of pocket, then get your $5 back in Extra Bucks.  That means your final price for everything is just $3 -- or 38 cents per box!
• Mars chocolate candy bars -- 6-packs on sale for $1 each, with $1 back in Extra Bucks when you buy three packs.  So your final price is $2 for all three packs, or 67 cents each.  That's right about 11 cents per bar!
• Coke 2-liters -- priced at 99 cents each (limit 5 per transaction.)  Scan your Extra Care card at the CVS coupon machine, and you'll score a 25 cents off coupon.  That drops your price to 74 cents instead.
