As always, the Frugal RI Mama, Karen, has this week's deals and match-ups at CVS. CVS looks better than Walgreens this week to me but I have no expiring ECB's this week and will likely take this week off and try to get to KMart for double coupons this week.
If you're new to shopping at CVS, please read my CVS 101 post here.
