CVS: Did you get your free gift?
Since CVS hasn't given us enough free stuff (ha!), they decided they'd give out more free gifts in August.
According to this page on their site, the first time you use your CVS card on a purchase in August, a coupon for a free gift will print at the bottom of your receipt.
So, what'd you get?
Thanks to The Traveling Saleswoman for alerting me to this deal!






I had $10 in extra care bucks that expired on 8/4/08, so I used them this morning on the candy deal. We bought $10.53 in candy, used the $10 and 53 cents in cash, and got $5 in ECBs back - not bad, although not THAT great.
I did get a coupon for a free CVS brand ibuprofen, 10 to 24 count, and will definitely use it.
You know the deals went downhill in June, just when I started to play the game, right? I'm just saying...

I used mine today and a coupon for a free bottle of CVS brand asprin(10-120ct, up to $1.99 value) printed at the bottom of my receipt.

I went to CVS today and received a coupon for a CVS Brand Chapblock (guessing it is a lip product) for up to $.99 value.

It works! I received a Q for a free CVS mouthwash.

Free CVS hand sanitizer! I don't like hand sanitizer, though, so I'm a little disappointed. Loved the thought, maybe they'll keep it up!

I got a free cvs brand toothbrush, and my husband got a free bottle of cvs brand pain reliever. Not bad!! Way to go CVS!

I wonder if everyone's gift is the same? Mine was a coupon for a free CVS aspirin {as if I don't have enough pain relief already} for up to $1.99 . Free is free though. I'm sure someone I know can use it :>)
Posted by: Rebecca | August 02, 2008 at 06:07 PM
I got a free 2oz CVS hand sanitizer.
Posted by: love3c | August 02, 2008 at 06:18 PM
I got a free CVS-brand Acetamenophin, which is awesome since I also got a CRT for $3 off a $10 pain reliever purchase, and Children's Advil is a free August CVS deal! Yay!

CVS Brand Asprin
Posted by: Marcia | August 02, 2008 at 06:25 PM
I got CVS Aspirin and 1 Hershey bar
Posted by: julie | August 02, 2008 at 06:27 PM
I got a free CVS ibuprofen 10-24 count.
:-)
I went to a new CVS and this one had a "scanner" you put your card under when you walk in and it prints out all kinds of coupons for you to use also! The ibuprofen printed upon check out, however. :-)

I got a free (up to $1.49) 2 oz CVS Hand Sanitizer. Not as exciting as the e-mail made it sound, but Free is Free and we do keep a small Hand Sanitizer in the diaper bag anyway, so we will get use of it.
Posted by: Angela | August 02, 2008 at 06:32 PM
I got a coupon for a free CVS Brand ChapBlock.
Posted by: Gina | August 02, 2008 at 06:33 PM
I went to CVS today. It was a free chapblock (CVS version of chapstick). Woo-hoo.
Posted by: Julie | August 02, 2008 at 06:33 PM
I got free CVS allergy pills (I believe the same kind that were free after extra care bucks back in April or May).
Posted by: Sandra Herriage | August 02, 2008 at 06:35 PM
I was disappointed. I got a coupon for free aspirin, which I don't use, anyway, due to an allergy.
I had higher hopes.
Posted by: Loquacious Chase | August 02, 2008 at 06:39 PM
Mine was for a bottle of Ibuprofen caplets. (Like I don't have enough Excedrin! My husband thought maybe they think I need the headache medicine because I am always getting it! haha) A lady when I was there got a bottle of hand sanitizer.
Posted by: marli | August 02, 2008 at 06:42 PM
I went to CVS today and my freebie was CVS brand chapstick.
Posted by: Mel | August 02, 2008 at 06:42 PM
I got a box of free CVS Aspirin.
Posted by: Nicole | August 02, 2008 at 06:43 PM
I went in today to finish up this week's deals. Mine printed out a 14pk CVS Ibuprofen! Nice! Also you can get Children or Infant Advil for $5.79 and get back $5.79 in ECB this month. That's another freebie if you have the EB available! (limit 1) I love being able to stock up the medicine cabinet for FREE!
Posted by: Courtney | August 02, 2008 at 06:44 PM
I got a free 24ct CVS brand ibuprofen!
I was excited- I actually use this product!
Posted by: Sarah | August 02, 2008 at 06:52 PM
I got a free CVS mouthwash - too bad I just bought listerine :)
Posted by: Donna | August 02, 2008 at 06:53 PM
Free CVS Ibuprofin 10-24 ct, yeah! $3.49 value
Posted by: Rachel | August 02, 2008 at 06:54 PM
I got 10-120ct asparin. And my $10 for signing up for the surveys.
Posted by: Steph | August 02, 2008 at 07:01 PM
I recv'd a Q for CVS mouthwash. First free Q I have recv'd.
Posted by: Bev | August 02, 2008 at 07:12 PM
I will get my item tomorrow. I am curious to see that people are unhappy with their "free" item. Let's not forget that CVS gives us great deals all the time and this item is free :)
Posted by: Mel | August 02, 2008 at 07:15 PM
I haven't gotten mine this month yet - will tomorrow - but I got the hand sanitizer last month.
Posted by: Toni | August 02, 2008 at 07:16 PM
I received a free bottle of CVS asparin and my husbad got a free CVS toothbrush. It was very nice of them to give us more free stuff!
Hey, does anyone know where I can send my expired coupons? I thought I remembered someone saying that military families overseas can use them...but does anyone know who specifically I can send them to? Please e-mail me at langfords@dishmail.net
Thank you

I got the 10-120ct asprin deal .. up to $1.99 value
Posted by: Tina | August 02, 2008 at 07:31 PM
i got the aspirin too. it's going in my garage sale!
i stopped using my husband's card a while ago after my 2nd kiddo was born, as I wanted to simplify. i still use the scanner on his card every time i'm in the store, just to see if any CRTs pop out which will give me free items. for example, i got a $3 lumene cosmetics crt last sunday which allowed me to get a time freeze day creme for free. I did not get that crt on my card though, just his. anyways, i was hoping to get a free item on his card yesterday, but since you have to buy something, i didn't get it. but i noticed that it says no purchase necessary to get the free gift, and to call an 800 # to get it. so i'm going to try that. has anyone else tried this yet?
Posted by: Blaire | August 02, 2008 at 07:36 PM
Surveys? Tell me more about this, please, anybody who has also done this.
Posted by: Kelly | August 02, 2008 at 07:40 PM
I got a free CVS Brand Chapblock. Nothing too special, but you can bet next time I go shopping I will be picking one up. :)
Posted by: Alexandra Hancock | August 02, 2008 at 07:48 PM
I got free mouthwash :)
Posted by: Kimberly | August 02, 2008 at 08:03 PM
I got the CVS pain reliever; my daughter got the CVS toothbrush. We'll take that!
Posted by: A.D. | August 02, 2008 at 08:06 PM
CVS Mouthwash...never use mouthwash (breath is always minty fresh).
Anybody want mine?
Posted by: Adventures of Club Amaro | August 02, 2008 at 08:08 PM
I got a coupon for a free 5ct CVS Loratadine Allergy Relief worth $4.29.
Posted by: krissy | August 02, 2008 at 08:16 PM
i got the offer, but haven't gone yet. YAY! Love free stuff...=)
Posted by: Eden C. | August 02, 2008 at 08:24 PM
I got CVS chapstick, $.99. Free is free.
Posted by: Tracie | August 02, 2008 at 08:29 PM
Glad I could help alert people to this deal! My coupon was for a free CVS brand chapblock.
Posted by: Jane | August 02, 2008 at 08:32 PM
I was disappointed. I got the cvs brand chapstick (chapblock). I have enough good lip products that I won't use it. I would have much preferred the mouthwash, toothbrush, hand sanitizer, etc.
Posted by: Rae | August 02, 2008 at 08:38 PM
I had not been to CVS in quite some time. Today I went to two different stores. The first time the "gift" printed out for a free chapstick - 99 cent value. Later when I used it another one printed out, very strange.
Posted by: TheAngelForever | August 02, 2008 at 09:57 PM
I got a Free CVS Aspirin. This is good because I had nearly run out of the CVS brand of Tylenol!
Posted by: Kristen | August 02, 2008 at 10:03 PM
I got a free CVS mouthwash. Yippee!!
Posted by: Anna Beth | August 02, 2008 at 10:11 PM
Free CVS toothbrush (up to $1.99 value)
I made sure to get the $1.99 one!
Posted by: Sarah | August 02, 2008 at 10:25 PM
Rachel - where do you get the $10 ECBs?
Posted by: Amber | August 02, 2008 at 10:39 PM
I got mouthwash!
Posted by: Jess | August 02, 2008 at 11:11 PM
I got a coupon for a free CVS brand toothbrush, and my mom got a coupon for a free CVS chap block.
Posted by: Holle | August 03, 2008 at 12:16 AM
I got coupon for free cvs brand aspirin, also. For those who don't use the product they received, I would encourage you to get it anyway and others have posted some great ideas on this blog for giving to others. Your local food pantry, homeless shelter, women and children's shelter, and various other charities would be very blessed for you to drop off your unwanted items.
Posted by: Hannelore | August 03, 2008 at 06:46 AM
I got the free CVS aspirin, which I will use. I like that they are giving different things so hopefully they won't all run out.
