Free items at CVS this week and next to help make Easter affordable

When I saw next week's CVS circular, there were a couple of Easter related deals that made me smile because they help make Easter more affordable.

I remember dying eggs with my daughter with Paas Easter egg decorating kits, which is something I also did with my parents when I was growing up. CVS shoppers can get the $1.99 kit for free after extrabucks rewards next week.

CVS shoppers who make a Easter candy purchase next week will get a free gift as well. The description says it "contains assorted Easter candy and toys for ages 5 and up. Available at register while supplies last."
In other words, get there as early as possible on Sunday to make sure to get one. That also applies to the Paas kits as well.

This week, 7 oz. bags of Gold Emblem jelly beans are free after a 99 cent extrabucks rewards. One can use that extrabucks reward toward a Palmer or Russell Stover Easter rabbit, which are on sale for 99 cents next week, and then get the free Easter gift from behind the counter.

The Palmer and Russell Stover rabbits also are part of a Buy $15, Get $5 extrabucks rewards deal next week on various types of candy. One of the choices for the deal is Dove chocolate eggs. I've seen $2/2 peel-off coupons on those bags that are good on any Mars Easter candy, which also is featured in the deal.

According to Sunday Coupon Preview, there will be a $2/3 coupon good on 8 oz. or more bags of Hershey’s Kisses, Reese’s, Hershey’s Miniatures, Hershey’s Eggs, Cadbury, Jolly Rancher or Whoppers in the SmartSouce coupon insert,. Jolly Rancher and Whoppers bags of candy are part of the extrabucks rewards deal at 2/$4, and Hershey's Big Bags at 2/$10 also are part of the deal. Concerning the coupon for the Jolly Rancher and Whoppers bags, though, make sure that the bags are 8 oz. or more in order to use the coupon because the ad says the 2/$4 price applies to 7-16 oz. bags.

Additionally, according to Sunday Coupon Preview, there will be a $1/2 coupon for Mars Easter products that can be used on M&M’s 2oz+, M&M’s Minis 2oz+, Minis Mix 10.5oz+, 3 Musketeers Minis, Twix Minis, Snickers Minis, Snickers Peanut Butter Squared Minis, Milky Way Minis, Snickers Bunny, Snickers Peanut Butter Bunny, Dove Eggs & Bunnies 4.5oz+, Snickers Eggs 6pk, Snickers Peanut Butter Eggs 6pk, Twix Eggs 6pk and Milky Way Simply Caramel Bunnies 6pk. At 2/$10, the Mars Easter Big Bag of minis is also part of the extrabucks rewards deal along with the Mars bunnies and eggs and 9-11.5 oz. bags of Mars  at 2/$6.
