CVS $5 Scenario - Week of 1/29/12

You can save a ton of money rolling ECBs - spending you ECBs on products that will trigger more. Remember, CVS is nothing like shopping at Walgreens.  You can split up an ECB deal into multiple transactions, and if the ECB limit is more than one, you can roll your ECB on the same offer.

If you are following my CVS $5 Scenarios, you have a $4 ECB to start this week's shopping.

Take a look more of this week's CVS deals.

You will need to shop on Sunday, Monday or Tuesday because of the three day sale on the candy and coupons expiring on the 31st.
