CVS Products -- love em or hate em?

Love and adore the Premium select as size paper towels... I use them all the time as fill.. never will I buy paper towels anywhere else.

The little bags of pretzels that are 2/$.99 are consumed like mad by my lil guy, so instead of a candy bar fill it's pretzel time! :)

I like cvs travel size wipes,ziplock bags, baby toothpaste.

Diapers are as good as other brands. I actually prefer them to Huggies (that leak the nasty gel stuff) and Pampers (the smell-ugh).

...I'd almost forgotten, but you are SO right about huggies....
/hijack off (Sorry!)

OK, I'll third that. My son had bad bad skin as an infant (eczema while we were figuring out what foods he was allergic to) and the CVS diapers were so gentle on his skin. Plus they fit his body type well. Preferred them to Huggies and Pampers and Luvs! Cost benefit was just icing on the cake.

Also we preferred the CVS brand Eucerin creme to the real Eucerin creme as it was less thick and it spread easier. (We used to grease up our babies [see eczema comment above].)

I have tried and like:

CVS tall kitchen garbage bags
CVS zip freezer bags
CVS spice drops - always my last minute grab when I'm in the negative

I agree and they're too scratchy.

I do not like CVS brand wet wipes they are very thick, which is good but I dont think they are soft whatsoever.

How do you know what's CVS brand - cause I don't see too many items that say CVS.

their list says over 3000 items- i haven't tried them all yet !

look for skin effects, cristophe, lumene, playskool, nuprin, life fitness, anything that says cvs brand, and anything that the upc starts with 50428.
look for things that say cvs quality, have the cvs checkmark, or are distributed from woonsocket, rhode island.

I think the large trash bags are great!!

[Wolfie1991]

I like:
Trash bags
sandwich/snack/gallon bags
their Viactive copy cat-tastes better in my opinion

Not to keen on:
paperplates (dixie style)-too thin, and really ugly pattern

gasp- you don't like my purple flowered plates? i liked the sandal print last summer- one of my daughter's friends is a shoe adorer.

i just tried the raw almonds this week- they are excellent. equal to trader joes quality.
