CVS $5 Scenario - Week of 9/19/10

If you're a newbie to CVS shopping, retrain your brain from Walgreens. CVS is much easier to shop at and roll ECBs. Here is a scenario that can get you started.

Remember, if CVS is out of stock on an item, ask for a raincheck. You still get ECBs with a raincheck.
