CVS is trying higher spending/higher rewards extrabucks rewards deals...

...and I'm not sure I'm a fan.

One of those is a choice between a Buy $30, Get $10 extrabucks rewards or Buy $50, Get $20 extrabucks rewards on products from the Johnson & Johnson family. Those products include:

Lactaid Fast Act 32-60 ct.
Tucks medicated ads 40-100 ct.
Carefree pantiliners 36-60 ct.
o.b. tampons 40 ct.
Listerine Pocketpacks 72 ct.
Motrin 100 ct., PM 20-80 ct.
Benadryl 24 ct., liquid 4 oz.
Splenda 100 ct. or Nectarisse 40 ct.
ANY Johnson's baby care, K-Y, Pepcid, Visine, or Bengay

Buying $30 worth of items, even with coupons, can be a stretch for me. Buying $50 worth is almost impossible.

But CVS has a link to Johnson & Johnson's Healthy Essentials coupon page where CVS shoppers can access the following coupons that can be used on this extrabucks rewards deal:

$1 off any Benadryl adult or children's product
$1 off any Motrin IB product
$1 off any Motrin PM product
$4/2 any Pepcid, Lactaid dietary supplement, Mylanta, or Tucks products
$1 off of any Splenda product
75 cents off of any Lactaid dietary supplement
$1 off of any Johnson's baby washcloths
$1 off of any Johnson's baby powder product (excludes 1 oz. and 4 oz. products)
$1 off of any Johnson's baby No More Tangles hair care product
$1 off of any Stayfree or o.b. tampon product
$1 off of any Carefree products 36 ct. or higher
(Trial sizes not included for any of the coupons)

I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to access any of the coupons because I'd used coupons from the site before. However, none of the coupons were blocked for me. But there is a limit of one use per coupon.

What also would help with this offer is that CVS once again sent out $3 extrabucks rewards coupons via email today. However, those extrabucks are good only until Wednesday.

Also, if you buy $8 worth of Stayfree, Carefree, or o.b. products towards the deal, you can go online and get up to $35 worth of fitness classes or wellness offers. The items have to be bought in one purchase. Be sure to click on the link to see if there are any offers available in your area before buying anything just to get the offers.

CVS also has a Buy $100, Get $15 extrabucks rewards deal on Gap Inc. brand cards. Forking over $100 for gift cards at one time is difficult for me, However, if you have plans to do back-to-school shopping and know you are going to spend at least $100 at any of the Gap Family of stores (Gap, Old Navy, or Banana Republic), you might as well buy and use the gift cards and use the $15 in extrabucks rewards on you CVS purchases. The $15 in extrabucks rewards would pay for half of the Johnson & Johnson deal if you do the Buy $30, Get $10 extrabucks rewards deal.

Will be back soon with more to save money at CVS this week.
