Brach's Candy Corn Printing Again at CVS

I stopped at CVS today to get the other box of oatmeal and was surprised when the machine gave me another coupon for the Brach's Candy Corn. So...if you have already scanned your card and used the coupon, check the machine again. You might get another one! Since the Brach's Candy Corn is on sale this week for $.99, it means some FREE candy!

For those of you that are new to CVSing....there is a red machine near the front door. This is the Coupon Center. If you scan your CVS Extra Care card (which should be the first thing you do when you go into CVS), you are given coupons to use for items at CVS. Some coupons are good for one day only while others are good for a couple of weeks. Just like with any other coupon, you want to use these with the sale items.
