CVS $5 Scenario - Week of 3/13/11

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.

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.

Take a look more CVS deals HERE.
