Looking through the CVS Weekly Ad, the biggest concentration of deals is in allergy, cold and wellness products, but there are also a few grocery and personal-care prices that make the ad useful beyond the pharmacy section. The cereal price at $1.99 is one of the simplest everyday deals to notice.
If you are putting together a list of products to keep around for allergy season or the next cold, this CVS Weekly Ad gives you quite a few options to compare. Zyrtec appears in several forms and quantities. The adult Zyrtec 24-35 ct., Allergen Shield spray 200 ct. and children’s 8 oz. or 24 ct. products are $19.99, while the 90-count Zyrtec package is $39.99. That difference in package size makes the two Zyrtec prices worth looking at separately, particularly for households that prefer a larger supply. Claritin is another major part of the allergy selection. Adult tablets, liqui-gels or children’s chewables 30 ct. are $19.99, and Claritin Chewables or Tablets 30 ct. are also listed at $19.99. Another $19.99 combination includes Allegra Nasacort 120 sprays, Allegra 24 gelcaps, 30 tablets or Xyzal 35 ct. Shoppers who specifically use a nasal spray have higher-priced options in the ad as well, with Flonase Allergy Relief 144 sprays or Sensimist 120 sprays at $28.49. The same Flonase Adult 144 sprays or Sensimist 120 sprays offer is repeated in the list. For cold and flu needs, the choices move into a different group of products. Advil Multi-Symptom Cold & Flu, Theraflu Severe Cold Relief, Robitussin, Zyrtec or Lysol disinfectant spray are included at $8.49, while Adult Robitussin Max Strength 8 oz. is $12.99. Alka-Seltzer Plus Powerfast Fizz 24 ct. or Coricidin HBP 16-20 ct. are $9.99, and Alka-Seltzer Plus Severe Cold 16 ct. effervescent tablets or 8 ct. night tablets are also $9.99. Airborne has two separate offers at $7.99, one for cold tablets 10 ct. or gummies 21 ct. and another for Immune Support Supplement 10 ct. effervescent tablets. These different package formats are worth paying attention to because two products from the same general category can have very different uses. Dramamine nausea 24 ct. is $15.00, and Children’s EEZ Co Pops 15 ct. are $6.99. Taken together, the health portion of this week’s CVS Weekly Ad is less about one particular bargain and more about giving shoppers a long list of familiar over-the-counter brands to compare. Someone shopping specifically for allergy relief can look at Zyrtec, Claritin, Allegra, Xyzal and Flonase, while a person preparing a cold-and-flu cabinet has Robitussin, Advil, Theraflu, Alka-Seltzer Plus, Coricidin and Airborne to consider. That makes this section especially useful for shoppers who normally have to visit several aisles to find the products they need.
Once you move away from the health section, the CVS Weekly Ad changes character quite a bit. The grocery offers are small in number compared with the medicine deals, but the prices are straightforward. Post Honey Bunches of Oats, Great Grains or Kellogg’s Cereal is $1.99, while Keurig McCafé, La Colombe, Green Mountain, Donut Shop, Swiss Miss or seasonal K-Cups are $5.99 for 10 ct. Those two offers can fit easily into a regular breakfast and coffee shopping list. Personal-care products add another group of practical purchases. Garnier Fructis shampoo or conditioner in 11.3-13 oz. sizes, or leave-in conditioner in a 10.2 oz. size, is $4.49. Batiste dry shampoo ranging from 3.81 to 5.71 oz. is $12.99, giving shoppers a choice between traditional hair-washing products and a dry-shampoo option. Dove body wash pumps in the large 30-30.6 oz. sizes are $12.99, while Schick or Skintimate disposable razors in 4 ct. or 12 ct. packages are $14.00. Toothpaste shoppers have several Colgate options for $5.99, including Optic White Advanced, Charcoal, Purple, Sensitive and Total, along with hello adult toothpaste. The final item in the list is Biofreeze Professional at $14.99, with several formats included: gel, roll-on, spray, pump, Triple Target gel or Ultraflex patch. This gives the sale another practical angle for shoppers looking at personal comfort and everyday care. Overall, the CVS Weekly Ad has a much stronger health-and-wellness focus than a typical grocery flyer, but the mix is broad enough that a single trip can cover more than medicine. The $1.99 cereal and $5.99 K-Cups are easy grocery additions, while shampoo, dry shampoo, body wash, razors and toothpaste cover several routine personal-care needs. The medicine section is where the ad becomes particularly extensive, though, and shoppers have multiple brands and package sizes available rather than being restricted to one product. If you are comparing prices, the repeated $19.99 allergy offers and the different $7.99, $9.99 and $12.99 cold-relief options are some of the easiest places to start. Checking the package count is important, since the ad includes both smaller packages and larger quantities such as Zyrtec 90 ct. For anyone planning a CVS shopping trip around household health supplies, allergy products or personal-care items, this week’s sale provides a fairly broad list to work through instead of focusing on only one type of product.
