CVS Beauty Magazine "Reinventing Beauty"

For some time, I've been seeing posts about the infamous "beauty magazine" at CVS, but never knew where I could find one, what it looked like, and so on. I've asked my CVS cashiers about it, but they never seemed to know what it was either.

Finally, the other day I asked a cashier who knew what it was and where to find it. I couldn't believe that I got the last one! So, if you've been as confused as I was about this CVS beauty magazine, I hope this helps you.

Here's what the current magazine looks like from the front cover:

It's called Reinventing Beauty, costs just $.99, and contains over $30 in CVS and Manufacturer coupons good through 12/31/08. So whenever you see posts that refer to a CVS Beauty Coupon, this is probably where it came from.

It is a typical looking magazine. For some reason, I had the idea that it was more of a pamphlet, but that is not the case. You can find it amongst the other magazines on the rack and I found mine on the small magazine rack by the entrance with the newspapers. I hope this helps anyone who might be new to the CVS coupon game.

New Week w/ New Deals!!

Since I have found many amazing bloggers out there who check out the latest deals and give the best scenarios for the week, I thought I'd send you to their blogs to find out more. So, here's the latest!

• WALMART - Denise from The "Cent"sible Sawyer has Walmart's Scenarios HERE. (The sales and prices are not necessarily valid throughout the country, so check your local flier for accuracy. It's always given me a good guideline to go by.)

• CVS - Slick Deals has some great CVS Scenarios HERE. (For the newtimers like me, this can get a bit confusing to search through, but with a little effort, I'm sure we can figure it out!)

• WALGREENS - Financial Diva has a few nice Walgreens Scenarios available HERE. You can also check out her CVS deals as well. More Walgreens Scenarios coming soon!

• PUBLIX - As always, check back with Sarah at Fiddledeedee for her Publix BOGO's, Printable Q's, and non-Printable Q's HERE. Remember that Publix is a little different in that their sales go from Thursday to Wednesday (at least in my area). Check your Publix Flier HERE.

• WINN DIXIE - And here in the South, we have Winn Dixie. Homeschooling Four has this week's Winn Dixie Scenarios HERE. To view your Winn Dixie Weekly Ad, click HERE. Again, Winn Dixie is a little different in that their sales go from Tuesday to Monday.
