CVS $5 Scenario - Week of 1/08/12

This is a great scenario to get your feet wet shopping at CVS.  No coupons required, and small easy transactions to learn how ECBs roll. 

If your store is busy, the polite thing to do is to pay for a  couple transactions and step aside to let the customers behind you check out.  This not only keeps the other customers happy, but puts less stress on the cashier.
