A big weekend is coming soon at CVS. The Black Friday deals have been up for a few days now, but I was waiting until we got final word on the coupons coming this weekend to make any deal ideas. It’s officially time to start planning now. The deals below mostly only include the free items. The bottom deal throws in a hair dryer too, and you still come out $11 ahead!
Check out all deals in the CVS Black Friday Ad.
Normally I would try to get everything into 4 deals or less, but to reduce out of pocket expenses this has a few extra. Please be sweet and jump to the back of the line if someone comes up behind you and isn’t doing what you are doing.
Deal Idea for New CVS Shoppers
- Start by Registering your card for CVS emails — you will get a $4 off $20 coupon emailed to you. Note: Please don’t register until this Sunday or you run the risk of your coupon expiring this week.

I’m already scared to tell someone who is just starting out to do four deals, but this includes all of the free items. You are still allowed 3 more Revlon nail polishes, but I doubt you have more coupons and 2 more Irish Spring Deodorants. You’ve done great though and it’s best to just go home now… If the ECB’s are burning a whole in your pocket use them towards some of the gift card promotion items so that you get some Christmas gifts covered and get a gift card back.
My Deal Idea – More Advanced Shoppers
- This is using coupons that I have, in the quantity that I have them. I am also starting with $3 ECB from previous weeks.
