CVS Shopping Scenario - 11/18/12

You can save a ton of money rolling ECBs - spending you ECBs on products that will trigger more.

Take a look this week's CVS deals. 

With so many freebies this week CVS, it is going to be busy.  Take your calculator and a sheet of paper with you to refigure your scenario - if they are out of a product, or if it didn't come in for the sale.   I head back to the pharmacy department and find a chair and sit down to my re-calculations.

Please be respectful of the CVS staff and other customers.  Instead of doing all your transactions back to back, do one or two transactions and step to the back of the line.  Not only will the people in line behind you be happy, but it gives you a time to regroup.
