Great week to head to CVS!

We were on vacation this week, so I got a little behind in my coupons! But I finally got a chance to re-organize myself this morning to get ready for next week. The ECB deals are so great at CVS this upcoming week, that I decided to head out this afternoon to take advantage of a few deals. (I'm sure I'll be making multiple trips next week!)

This week Walgreens has many of these items on sale plus the opportunity to earn Register Rewards for buying them. Here's how I turned this into a moneymaker by using a previous RR. (But, if you don't have RR's to use, you can easily break even by just using mfc's.)
