If you’re planning to make a trip to CVS this week, here’s a deal scenario for you. This is a great step-by-step tutorial if you’re just starting at CVS, or if you need a little inspiration. This scenario is great if you’re starting out with no ECB to “roll”. If you have any ECB from last week, you could use them on transaction #1, making your oop even less. You can find the rest of this week’s CVS coupon matchups here.

That scenario would be great IF they had those items in stock. I went to CVS today and they were out of almost 1/2 of the items you listed thanks to greedy coupon users and not enough stock.
