CVS has the most generous deals of the three drugstores this week, including four freebies: American Greetings cards, St. Joseph Aspirin, a pumpkin carving tool and liquid Di-gel. You can also pick up a great deal on Scott toilet paper that ends up being 22 cents per roll!

Over at Rite Aid, there are all sorts of deals on cough drops and a 50 percent off sale on most Halloween items.

And at Walgreens, Mitchum products are just a quarter, Speed Stick is 40 cents and Arm & Hammer Spinbrushes are just $3.25 each after coupons. Those make great stocking stuffers if you've started your holiday shopping.

All three stores are offering sales on Halloween candy. Walgreens seems to have the best price -- $1.50 per bag on Fun Size chocolates. But if you have rewards to spend elsewhere, that's probably you're best bet. My rule of thumb: try not to spend more than a nickel a treat.

Before rolling up her sleeve for a flu shot this season, a reader asked for my help in shopping around for the best price.

"I don't have health insurance coverage, so must pay out of pocket,"  Cat from Raleigh wrote in a recent email. "I'm sure there are many others in the same boat."

--------------

After doing a little checking, I was surprised at the range in prices -- from a high of $31.99 to a low of $15. That price dipped even lower to $10 at Kroger, with a digital coupon available through Saturday only.

Even for those who get their shots free with insurance coverage, it still pays to shop around for the best flu-shot promotions because some of them are far more generous than others.

Here's a sampling of flu shot prices and promotions:

Look for great deals at the drugstores this week on Halloween candy, razors, mouthwash, Dove and Degree products, Lysol products, All detergent, Cepacol lozenges, Barilla microwave meals and more.
