CVS: Did you get your free gift?

by crystal on August 2, 2008

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…

2 April August 2, 2008 at 5:42 pm

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.

3 Becky August 2, 2008 at 5:44 pm

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.

4 Margery August 2, 2008 at 5:54 pm

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

5 Ashley August 2, 2008 at 5:56 pm

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!

6 Christy Morris August 2, 2008 at 6:06 pm

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!

7 Rebecca August 2, 2008 at 6:07 pm

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 :>)

8 love3c August 2, 2008 at 6:18 pm

I got a free 2oz CVS hand sanitizer.

9 Catherine August 2, 2008 at 6:19 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!

10 Marcia August 2, 2008 at 6:25 pm

CVS Brand Asprin

11 julie August 2, 2008 at 6:27 pm

I got CVS Aspirin and 1 Hershey bar

12 Kim Grits August 2, 2008 at 6:28 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. :-)

13 Angela August 2, 2008 at 6:32 pm

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.

14 Gina August 2, 2008 at 6:33 pm

I got a coupon for a free CVS Brand ChapBlock.

15 Julie August 2, 2008 at 6:33 pm

I went to CVS today. It was a free chapblock (CVS version of chapstick). Woo-hoo.

16 Sandra Herriage August 2, 2008 at 6:35 pm

I got free CVS allergy pills (I believe the same kind that were free after extra care bucks back in April or May).

17 Loquacious Chase August 2, 2008 at 6:39 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.

18 marli August 2, 2008 at 6:42 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.

19 Mel August 2, 2008 at 6:42 pm

I went to CVS today and my freebie was CVS brand chapstick.

20 Nicole August 2, 2008 at 6:43 pm

I got a box of free CVS Aspirin.

21 Courtney August 2, 2008 at 6:44 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!

22 Sarah August 2, 2008 at 6:52 pm

I got a free 24ct CVS brand ibuprofen!
I was excited- I actually use this product!

23 Donna August 2, 2008 at 6:53 pm

I got a free CVS mouthwash – too bad I just bought listerine :)

24 Rachel August 2, 2008 at 6:54 pm

Free CVS Ibuprofin 10-24 ct, yeah! $3.49 value

25 Steph August 2, 2008 at 7:01 pm

I got 10-120ct asparin. And my $10 for signing up for the surveys.

26 Bev August 2, 2008 at 7:12 pm

I recv’d a Q for CVS mouthwash. First free Q I have recv’d.

27 Mel August 2, 2008 at 7:15 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 :)

28 Toni August 2, 2008 at 7:16 pm

I haven’t gotten mine this month yet – will tomorrow – but I got the hand sanitizer last month.

29 Leslie August 2, 2008 at 7:26 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

30 Tina August 2, 2008 at 7:31 pm

I got the 10-120ct asprin deal .. up to $1.99 value

31 Blaire August 2, 2008 at 7:36 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?

32 Kelly August 2, 2008 at 7:40 pm

Surveys? Tell me more about this, please, anybody who has also done this.

33 Alexandra Hancock August 2, 2008 at 7:48 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. :)

34 Kimberly August 2, 2008 at 8:03 pm

I got free mouthwash :)

35 A.D. August 2, 2008 at 8:06 pm

I got the CVS pain reliever; my daughter got the CVS toothbrush. We’ll take that!

36 Adventures of Club Amaro August 2, 2008 at 8:08 pm

CVS Mouthwash…never use mouthwash (breath is always minty fresh).

Anybody want mine?

37 krissy August 2, 2008 at 8:16 pm

I got a coupon for a free 5ct CVS Loratadine Allergy Relief worth $4.29.

38 Eden C. August 2, 2008 at 8:24 pm

i got the offer, but haven’t gone yet. YAY! Love free stuff…=)

39 Tracie August 2, 2008 at 8:29 pm

I got CVS chapstick, $.99. Free is free.

40 Jane August 2, 2008 at 8:32 pm

Glad I could help alert people to this deal! My coupon was for a free CVS brand chapblock.

41 Rae August 2, 2008 at 8:38 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.

42 TheAngelForever August 2, 2008 at 9:57 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.

43 Kristen August 2, 2008 at 10:03 pm

I got a Free CVS Aspirin. This is good because I had nearly run out of the CVS brand of Tylenol!

44 Anna Beth August 2, 2008 at 10:11 pm

I got a free CVS mouthwash. Yippee!!

45 Sarah August 2, 2008 at 10:25 pm

Free CVS toothbrush (up to $1.99 value)

I made sure to get the $1.99 one!

46 Amber August 2, 2008 at 10:39 pm

Rachel – where do you get the $10 ECBs?

47 Jess August 2, 2008 at 11:11 pm

I got mouthwash!

48 Holle August 3, 2008 at 12:16 am

I got a coupon for a free CVS brand toothbrush, and my mom got a coupon for a free CVS chap block.

49 Hannelore August 3, 2008 at 6:46 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.

50 Heidi August 3, 2008 at 6:50 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.

51 Jen August 3, 2008 at 7:28 am

I got the coupon for the asprin too

52 Jenn August 3, 2008 at 8:10 am

55 BeKay August 3, 2008 at 9:32 am

Please remember that the food pantry or local shelter would be happy to have these “free” items you are not thrilled with….

56 melane August 3, 2008 at 11:56 am

I got the free CVS ibuprofren on both of my cards.

57 Tami August 3, 2008 at 2:38 pm

I got a bottle of CVS Ibuprofen.

58 Jessica August 3, 2008 at 3:22 pm

I did 4 transactions on Friday, all in a row. I got two coupons for free mouthwash. We don’t use mouthwash, but I gave one away already to our out of town guests this weekend! The other will go in a donation box. Please don’t complain if you get a free item, just smile and be thankful that you now have something to bless someone else with!

59 Dona August 3, 2008 at 4:49 pm

I got the cvs brand ibuprofen. I also bought the children’s advil for 5.79 get 5.79 back–my reciept does not say -offer limit reached–it says I can still get another one—so the limit must be 2 not 1 this month!

60 Saver Chic August 3, 2008 at 5:19 pm

I got the toothbrush too!

69 Heather August 4, 2008 at 12:27 am

I’m kind of disappointed in my Free Aspirin coupon. I don’t even use aspirin. I’ll use the coupon, of course, but I expected something a little better with all the hype.

70 Heather August 4, 2008 at 6:22 am

I got the free aspirin too…not something we use much but I am super excited because my CVS just got a coupon scanner! I got a coupon for $1 off CVS sunscreen, something we needed.

71 Gloria August 4, 2008 at 7:48 am

I received a coupon for a free CVS toothbrush.

72 Nancy August 4, 2008 at 8:22 am

I got a free CVS Ibuprofen (up to $3.49 value). Yay!

73 Shannon O August 4, 2008 at 1:35 pm

NOTHING! I got nothing! I didn’t look until I was out of the store and I had 2yo with me so I didn’t go back. Can you believe nothing! Bet your free aspirin is lookin’ pretty good now, huh? I’ll email customer service and probably get a good coupon out of it though.

74 Calee August 4, 2008 at 4:46 pm

I got a coupon for a free 5ct CVS Loratadine Allergy Relief worth $4.29.

75 Jenn in Indiana August 4, 2008 at 6:30 pm

What are the CRT’s that some of you are talking about? I am new to the CVS thing.

76 Stacy August 5, 2008 at 9:50 am

Cotton swabs for me!

77 Sarina August 5, 2008 at 1:57 pm

I got the hand sanitizer. Unfortunately it was my last ever trip there on the way out of the state moving to CO (land of the no CVS *pout*) I didn’t even realize there WAS a gift until after I left the store. What a bummer! That totally would have been the perfect way to leave the store that has given me so much in only 4 months!

78 Katelyn August 5, 2008 at 5:44 pm

I got the aspirin. Anyone want to trade me for hand sanitizer? I already have enough aspirin to last for eons.

79 Kaye August 6, 2008 at 9:36 am

Free CVS Aspirin (10-120 ct) up to $1.99

80 Minda August 6, 2008 at 1:56 pm

82 Jackie August 11, 2008 at 9:54 am

I received a free bottle of cvs brand mouth wash!!!! This is great because my husband uses mouth wash at work before meetings. Guess what he just ran out the other day, so now he has a free bottle to take to work with him!!! I love free stuff!
