Another awesome week- I paid less than I would have paid for one newspaper and got lots of free stuff!
CVS Best Deals 7/18-7/24 here. CVS Best Deals 7/25-7/31 here.
If you are new to CVS, go here for an explanation.

*The key to making the most of the $4/$20 order coupons is to buy items that total as close to $20 as possible and to include items that you have coupons for AND that give ECBs back. Coupons for free items really sweeten the deal!

That’s awesome! What is a double coupon newspaper? I understand by the name it has double the amount, but I never see them. Is this an area thing?
Yes, in the Atlanta area they bundle two Sunday papers together and charge $3.00. Individual papers are $2.00.
