Sunday drugstore deals, Oct. 21-27

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.

Keep reading for the very best of this week's deals at CVS, Rite Aid and Walgreens.
