Its hard to believe, but sales on back-to-school items have already started. This week, 7/5-7/11, CVS has pencils & sharpeners for 99 cents and you receive 99 cents in ECB for each one (limited 3 per CVS card). I didn't need sharpeners, so I purchased 3 packs of pencils. Also, CVS pantyliners are free, plus a 10 cent moneymaker (limit 1 per CVS card). I made my purchases on Saturday (my store has next week's sales ready Sat. afternoon) and paid 38 cents out of pocket for the items above!
(3) CVS pencils 10 ct.: 99 cents ea (FREE after .99 ECB)
