Here are the best deals I see at CVS for the week of 7/25/10. For those of you in Chicagoland, the Dean’s milk deal has finally run its course. I’ll miss it!

If you’re new to CVS, ECB stands for “Extra (Care) Bucks.” Here’s what to remember about these:

1. Unlike Walgreens RR, ECB are store coupons and can only be used at CVS.
2. They are also tied to your particular CVS card, so if you get an ECB or store coupon that prints out at the price scanner or register, it will only work for your card.
3. Always scan your card at their in-store price scanner, because bonus coupons print out there when you do so.
4. Sign up for their ExtraCare emails with your card number and you’ll get a bonus $4.00/$20.00 printable coupon, plus random emailed coupons throughout the year.
5. The $4.00/$20.00 and other $/$$ coupons can be used before any other coupons.
6. ECB always roll.
7. Limits listed in the ad are per card.

ECB deals

• Monthly deal: BioTrue 2oz, $2.99, get $2.00 ECB limit 2. Print $2.00/1 here for another nice little money maker. (I heard it was printing again but hit my limit already.)
• Monthly deal: Buy two CVS pantiliners for $1.00, get $1.00 ECB limit 3 (need to do in separate transactions).
• Pampers Baby Dry, Swaddlers, or Cruisers big box, $21.99, get $10.00 ECB limit 1. Some people are getting $3.00/1 out of the price scanner. Also $2.00/1 and $1.50/1 in the 7/4 PG and $2.00/1 in the 6/20 RP. If you get the store coupon from the price scanner, this is a pretty good deal. Use $3.00/1 plus $2.00/1, and you’re at $16.99 with $10.00 back, or net $6.99 for the box.
• U by Kotex, $4.99, get $4.99 ECB limit 1. Use $1.00/1 printable here for a slight money maker.
• 6×8 photo book, $7.99, get $7.99 ECB limit 1. You have to make these in store, so plan to bring your photos and spend some time.
• Dove bar soap 2 pack, $3.00, get $2.00 ECB limit 1.
• Neutrogena sun care or sunless tanning, get $10.00 ECB wyb 2, psa $9.99. This sometimes works on smaller sizes, will see… $1.00/1 in the 6/13 SS.
• Clairol nice n easy or root touch up, $6.99, get $2.00 ECB. Use $2.00/1 from the 7/4 PG, pay $4.99, get $2.00 ECB for a net cost of $2.99.

Don’t forget the $10 rebate wyb $30 here. So if you already bought, say, the Pantene last week, one idea is to buy one $11 and one $14 product, use two $1.00/1, pay $23.00 and get $10.00 for a net cost of $13.00. Combine with one of your existing receipts and get the $10.00 rebate.

School supply deals

• Paper Mate 10 pack pens, 2/$1.00.
• There are a bunch of BOGO deals in the ad, but no prices listed and I don’t have a sense these will be great prices. But, I’ve been known to be wrong.
