CVS $5 Scenario - Week of 2/20/11

You can save a ton of money at CVS rolling ECBs.  If you are following my CVS $5 Scenarios, you have a $3 ECB to start this week's shopping.

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

Take a look more CVS deals HERE.

This is a fun scenario.  You can take home bags of merchandise and only spend your pocket change. Keep in mind the Cadbury ECB deal is good through Tuesday only.
