Price: $5 for 2 bags

Haribo gummy treats are a favorite brand for sweet go-to snacks, and this week's savings deals have them for $2.50 a bag, as long as you buy them in pairs.

The best part about munching on some gummy bears is remembering that somebody once walked into a TV studio and pitched an entire show around the concept of anthropomorphic gummy bears best defined by their bounciness, and it went on to become a beloved animated classic children's show.

Bottom line

Shelf-stable pantry items that can be stored for longer periods of time can be an excellent way to add up savings over the year by purchasing them at lower prices. They will keep until you're ready to eat them.

CVS frequently offers deals on household staples that stack with manufacturer coupons to multiply the savings. Joining the CVS loyalty rewards program adds the value of in-store dollars that can be used toward future purchases.

The rising cost of everyday necessities makes it more important than ever to find ways to save on groceries to keep enjoying all your favorites without breaking the bank. Be sure to swing by CVS before July 20 to grab these deals.
