CVS Products -- love em or hate em?

[pilesoflaundry]

The shower reliever (cvs brand shower soothers) smell funny and melt too fast to do much good. This was the spearmint scent. I've noticed all their products have a weird chemically smell that burns my throat. I hate their soap too.

some one gave me a gift for Christmas of the EOB shower gel - I LOVE the hanging bottle !!!! fits on my shower door and I just have to open the bottom to use !!!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it !! Thanks CVS !

Here are my thoughts. I really like:
Gold Emblem cheese crackers (but don't we all?! lol)
Soft Cloths, unscented, scented, whatever, like them all
Playskool baby wipes, unscented only

I didn't like the CVS version of the Brush-ups. Too minty for me but i havn't tried the
Oral-B ones either so I don't know. I got them for like $0.30 on clearance so fine with me.

I have bought but have yet to try the travel wipes, the supreme diapers, Playskool diapers, and the paper towels.

Didn't have time to read this whole thread, but we love the CVS drawstring trash bags! Not only are the sturdy, but they smell nice too! :)

I love the CVS hand cream that is comparable to Neutragena. Can't tell the difference between the two! I really need some of that NOW!

I'm on the fence about the Gold Emblem sugar free Absolutely Divine chocolate chip cookies. They are just okay. It seems to me that the cookies themselves aren't very sweet and most of the sweetness comes from the chocolate chips. Also, these things are practically in a vault - hard cardboard box surrounding a rigid container. How do a good bit of them end up broken up in the unopened package? I've opened 2 of the 3 boxes I bought recently and both have a lot of breakage.

I just bought CVS Neti Pot - sinus problems. Love it. It is plastic and very light. Does the job well.

Love any of the Cranberry Juice drinks, and the AD mini choc chip cookies that are $.40 after $1 CRT. I have about 15 of the 3 pack regular paper towels, since they were great for $2/10 CVS as part of $/$$ deals, along with $1 CRTs. I haven't tried them, but I'm sure I will like them better than some of y'all cuz they were nearly free, and paid for with all ECBs.

Cheese crackers are AD! and with ECBs and CRTs in Jan/Feb? who could go wrong? Better than any other cheese cracker, and I feel like I'm getting away with eating chips they're so crunchy!

Not crazy about the lotion, (light yellow creamy tube with blue printing. I think it's too watery, and doesn't feel like you've used it 15 min later. Too bad I have like 20 tubes of the $1.49 size....used $1 CRT and part of $2/10 and $/$$ deals. Free, but not great. Love the nuts, all of them, esp choc covered macadamias that were clearanced, and used $2/2 CRTs.

Has anyone tried the spices? I noticed they are on sale again this week.

I made a spice cake last week. Everyone was asking if it had nuts as they were getting something hard in it. I finally went back & checked my ingredients. It was the CVS nutmeg. It was so gritty. Even though I had put it in boiling water as my recipe called for, it was still gritty. :sad:

I have a $3/$10 of CVS brand product coupon, and I've never opted to use one of those before. I'm going to use it this week, though. What are your favorite CVS brand products? I'm happy with their dryer sheets and I've used their Claritin knockoff. The Essence of Beauty items also seem to be of good quality. Has anyone tried CVS toilet paper or paper towels? I'd like some input before I do my shop. Thanks!
