REI has Darn Tough socks on sale (25% off). They have a good return policy so I purchased some and will wait and see if there are any good Black Friday deals on them before I wash and wear them.
I picked up a dozen more vanilla at CVS - the shelf was not marked, but the 1 oz bottles are still ringing up at 3/$3 at my area CVS stores, and part of the buy $30 worth of select groceries get $10 CVS gift card.
Iām going to try the vanilla at CVS. Iāll return if it is $7 a piece. Thnx @3puppies
@gearmom - My CVS stores have a price checker āred machineā so you can confirm the price before paying.
@3puppies It worked! An unmarked secret sale. I bought 6 vanillas saving $30. Thanks, vanilla friends!
Hmmm, when I go past CVS, I will check. The two CVS stores I checked today had much higher prices marked under the bottles of vanilla extract, so I didnāt touch them.
@Hlmom Check it at the kiosk like @3puppies suggested. It scans as 3 for $3.
When I checked, they scanned at the marked prices, $3.99 for non-Schilling brand and $6.99 for Schilling (small bottles). NO discount or sale. One of the CVS salespeople said that each CVS is an independent franchise, but I had never heard that before.
I was referring to the CVS Gold Emblem branded ones. They may be carrying a different generic brand in your area
Yes, I bought the Gold Emblem brand. Never used it before but pure vanilla is pure vanilla.
Most of the CVS spices were marked $3/3 at my CVS, but the vanilla did not have a sale tag under it, so I didnāt even try. Maybe I should have. It was priced at $6.59, I think.
@Barbalot Same at our CVSs which is why it is a secret unmarked sale for the Gold Emblem pure vanilla. If you go back check at the red kiosk. It was $6.79 but rang up 3 for $3.
Thank you @3puppies! Was out running errands so tried to find the vanilla. First CVS was sold out of vanilla, but found 7 bottles at 2 other stores. Did not have a sale tag, but rang up 3/$3.
Does pure vanilla extract usually contain corn syrup?
gold emblem contains: Ingredients
Vanilla Bean Extractives in Water, Alcohol (35%), and Corn Syrup.
The vanilla Iām familiar with does not contain corn syrup. That may change the flavor.
@Sybylla Vanilla bean extractives in water and alcohol. No corn syrup listed for the Gold Emblem Pure vanilla extract . Maybe you are looking at imitation?
The past few days, I was wanting to buy thermal tops at Macyās and had them in my online shopping cart. Yesterday when I looked at it again, the price had dropped further so they were 1/2 of the originally marked price, so I bought them and a few pairs of Alfred Dunner slacks for my mom. Iām happy! I also found a Macyās gift card that I applied toward the purchase, further reducing the cost!
Thank you @3puppies! Just went to CVS and got the vanilla extract. Great deal.
@3puppies, thank you for posting about the vanilla extract. I made DH to go get some and he came back with the exact item 3 for $3 based on your description. He said that the store clerk said that itās a great deal but wondered if their system had it incorrect. The clerk said that, last week, their system had some perfumes for $0 (yes, free!). Before CVS were able to change the price in the system, many people found out about it and came in and āboughtā everything on the shelf and CVS allowed the purchases since it was their āpriceā in the system.
I went to CVS tonight to check out the vanilla. They had the 3/$3 signs on all of the spices EXCEPT the pure vanilla extract. That one was tagged at $5-something. I asked the cashier to scan it just in case it came up at the sale price but it didnāt 
. Oh, wellā¦
