If you are a regular reader of this blog, you know that I absolutely love shopping at CVS. I can usually find just what I need, and the savings are great – especially when I use my ExtraCare Card. It’s that one store I have to stop into when we go into town. My friends at CVS were nice enough to send me some of the new Caliber school supplies and Gold Emblem Abound all-natural snacks to help my family kick off the new school year.
Some of the new Caliber back to school essentials you’ll find at CVS Pharmacy, include: 5 Pack Caliber Super Glide Ballpoint Pens, Caliber (3 ring) Pencil Pouch, 2 Pack 50 Sheet Legal Pads, and Caliber 1.5” 3 Ring Binders with pockets.
Have you eaten any of the Gold Emblem Abound snacks from CVS yet? They are wonderful! There are no artificial preservatives or flavors in any of their products. Plus, every product has zero grams of trans fat. They are wholesome and delicious! They even have some gluten free and sodium products available. I just found this $1.00 Gold Emblem Abound Coupon on the CVS Pharmacy web site. You might want to grab one while it’s available!
Here’s what we tried: Gold Emblem Abound – Sea Salt Flavored Baked Rice Crisps (Gluten Free), Blueberry & Pomegranate Superfruit Snack Bars (100% Fruit Bars with added natural flavors), Mango & Raspberry Snack Bars (free from artificial preservatives and flavors and a good source of protein), and Abound No Stir Creamy Peanut Butter (Low Sodium and free from artificial preservatives and flavors). All of it tastes oh-so good, and is good for you too!
Back to school CVS savings are great! They have everything you need for back to school. The #ExtraSavings you get when shopping at CVS can’t be beat. When you stop in to CVS for school supplies and lunchbox snacks, be sure to shop with your CVS ExtraCare Card and earn 2 percent back in ExtraBucks on all your everyday purchases. I shared a bit more about the CVS ExtraCare Program on the blog last year, if you missed it.
One lucky About A Mom reader will win a CVS Prize pack containing all of the Gold Emblem Abound products and Caliber brand school supplies you see in this post! Giveaway is open to the US and ends on August 29, 2014 at 11:59pm EST. Good luck!

I would love to try the superfruit snack bars! We are only in pre-k right now so a little backpack with a change of clothes is about all we need to get ready.
Superfruit Snack Bars sound yummy! My son is not in school yet but whenever I can get school supplies for free or very little with coupons, I purchase them & donate them to a local drive.
I don’t have any kids in school right now but I would love to try the baked rice crisps!
The baked rice crisps look good to me and would probably make a great after school snack. I get ready for the new school year by making the children start going to bed a little earlier every night so they are on a regular bed schedule by time school starts.
I would love to try the Superfruit Snack Bars,they sound delicious! and I know my whole family would like them. I need to get a back pack and everything to go in it this year,but I try to get the best deals I can in the stores.
We always try to plan ahead so that things than be a little les stressful. I would love to try the mango and raspberry snack bars so that we have some tasty and healthy after school snacks
Back to school prep at our home is all done – whew!
And I’d love to try the Super Fruit Bars.
thank you

I would like to try the Baked Rice Crisps! we homeschool, so getting ready for school means new curriculum & school supplies & lots of lesson planning on my part 🙂
We bought most of the normal back-to-school supplies. But, I know I could use some snacks and more pens and pencils.
I would love to try the superfruit snack bars!…. as for school supplies, I have a technical writing course I am currently taking so I need any and all form of pens, papers, white out, etc.
The baked rice crisps look tasty. I helped my very much younger brother get ready for a new school year with a gift certificate.
My daughter commutes to college. She just bought a lunch bag because she is planning on taking lunch and snacks because she will be on campus all day. I think she’d like to take both the snack bars and baked rice crisps as snack because she tries to pack healthy snacks.
I most want to try the snack bars, I havent tried them yet. No special bts events here, just buy the basics.
All the snacks!
The Superfruit Snack Bars would be perfect for dd’s lunch! We always go supply shopping BEFORE school starts to avoid the lines! This year dd started 2 weeks earlier than most districts in this area so it was nice and empty when we went shopping!
I want to try Mango and Raspberry Snack Bars. They sound so good. We are having a hard time preparing for school because of finances. But praise God we are getiing there little by little. Thank you.
Sea Salt Flavored rice chips sounds like a refreshing change, I love the gummy bears from CVS, thank you for sharing this review.
My kiddos have been back to school since the end of July, so we are in a good routine already. My boys have just gotten into eating granola bars, so I would love for them to try the Mango & Raspberry Bars. They sound yummy!
Oh winning would be great over the deals at cvs we moved from our old house a block from cvs now 20 minutes miss the deals so much ..
I would love to try the Baked Rice Crisps! I haven’t been able to afford school shopping yet but I have been getting my kids to bed earlier!
I would like to tr the rice crisps. I have a surplus of supplies already because I use coupons.
I start back to school supply shopping in July so that I am not hit financially all at once. I also like to start early so the kids don’t get all the picked over items. All the snacks look delish, I am a big fan of fruit bars.
My grandson needs a new fall jacket for school. I would like to try Mango & Raspberry Snack Bar.

We still have so much to get, we are going back to the mall on Saturday. Now we are down to the wire and I hope we can find everything we need.
I dont think we could ever possible have enough peanut butter in our house! The mango raspberry snack bars sound like a delight too!!
I would love to try the peanut butter to see how it compares to some of the more expensive name brands! We aren’t doing much for back to school this year, but we did buy some new clothes a few weeks ago!
I would love to try the Snack Bars. We prepared by looking for the best deals and started getting supplies early
The peanut butter looks so yummy! Other brands are so expensive, so I would love to try this. School starts here on Thursday and we are not close to being ready! 😉
