You can learn more about how to get started shopping at CVS here. Make sure you are registered to get CVS coupons via email! You should get a $4/20 coupon right away.
I am going to post these in advance because there are a ton of freebies leading up to Black Friday. I will have a second post coming with the official Black Friday ad deals. I am planning a trip myself for the Hot Wheels, Advil, Playdoh…. tons of great options!
You can see more Black Friday ads- including Walgreens and Rite Aid- here.

Yay…thanks Charlene!
Hi,
Most of the Free our Money Makers you listed do not work In Los Angeles.
Thanks for all your good tips though!
My favorite time of year at CVS 🙂
I am sorry I didnt read the full post on my phone
Charlene, if I got three items that had a $1 ecb each together in one transaction, would that give me $3ecb or 3x$1 ecb?
Jan, yes it would or you can buy them separate and use the last $1 to pay for the next item, get a $1, buy another, get $1.
M,
I am not sure how that can be the case when the ad doesn’t start until 11/18?
Thanks a million Charlene for your list!! I just went through and based on my calculations- 5 transactions I’ll be able to get $106.31 and walk out making $3.88 it would be my best shopping trip ever!! I can’t wait to donate some of the items =)
LOL- I will be there with you Melissa :). I am excited for the Hot Wheels and the Playdoh :D.
A $10/$50, x11/27/12 printed on the bottom of my CVS receipt on 11/13! Check yours if you do transaction this week … And use the coupon for Black Friday Week! Decreases out-of-pocket, increases MM
Charlene- do you know if any of the Roseville stores change their prices over on Sat night so we could take advantage of the deals before Sun morning? I have to work (ugh) so it’s either send the hubby out (he’s totally freaked out if that’s the case) or try it Saturday night.. can you get rain checks on these items? last year black friday ad no rain checks were available.
Melissa,
I have found they do change prices Saturday night but in the case of Black Friday week I am not sure. There are so many prices to change…. I am going to try it myself on Saturday night. It seems like about 7-8 is when they change but if the store is busy that day they may not have had time. Does that make sense?
Yes it does thanks!!
I was able to get rain checks last year on Black Friday, but I guess it depends on your CVS and your cashier 🙂
Also, on the LA Looks, some of the bottles have a .75/1 coupon, making them 24 cents (limit 4), woo!
Bonus packs that worked for me:
Carmex Lip + FREE Lotion included $1, Got $1ECB back.
Kraft Mac ‘n Cheese 10% More $.99, Got $.99ECB back.
The Charmin coupon was accepted on the single.
thanks so much for the info cant wait to do my first transaction.
The Lindsay olive FB page has a $1/1 coupon. I was able to print 2 this morning. Lindsay olives are 88 cents at my CVS so a 12 cent MM on each.
my ad goes all week, so the black friday one will be in addition
that’s nice with a 10/50 if there’s anything left. Might be some non-freebies.
.99cards work for Hallmark buy 3 get 3ecbs, even tho ad says 1.99 up. Presume those who get American greetings have the same deal.
Charlene are all the items on the cvs list you have on the top of the page expired already? my ad says they end on sat the 24.
Most of the country got 2 ads but a few areas- like California just got one week long ad. So you have the week long ad 😉
great so i can still get some deals.
