Save your skin and money with sun protection products at CVS

Last week I volunteered to work at the MVC Baseball championships. I got to watch baseball games for free while getting free food and a free T-shirt. But another souvenir I had from the event was a sunburned face. That was a reminder for me to get some sun protection products for the sunny months ahead.

CVS has several brand on sale this week. There's a $2 extrabucks rewards deal on Coppertone Sun Care or Bain de Soleil 3.12-4 oz. (Excludes Coppertone sticks and Twin pk.) The products are on sale for $8.99 this week, but you can get a $1 coupon from the Coppertone website to save even more money.

If you need to stock up on sunscreen for the entire family, you might want to take advantage of the Buy 1, Get 1 50 percent off deals on CVS Sun Care products (Excludes 10 oz.) and Banana Boat or Hawaiian Tropic products (Excludes stick, lip and after sun). You can save even more money with a $3/2 coupon on Banana Boat products and a $1 coupon for Hawaiian Tropic products.

For those who want a higher priced sun care product, there is a $10 extrabucks rewards deal on Vichy Sunscreen 1.7-5 oz. Prices start at $25.50.

Will bring you details in the next blog on next week's $10 gas card promotion. Some of the same brands will be available in this deal that were in the last one, but there are different items as well. Take care, all!
