CVS $5 Scenario - Week of 4/17/11

You can save a ton of money at CVS rolling ECBs - using ECBs to pay for products that trigger more ECBs.

If your store is busy, you might not want to do too many back to back transactions. I like to do a couple of transaction and then step aside and let the people behind me checkout.  This keeps the other customers and cashiers happy.
