Karen at Frugal RI Mama has this week's hot CVS deals and match-ups. I'm highlighting a few below but you'll want to read her full post for the rest of the list!
If you're new to CVS deals shopping, please read my CVS 101 post.
I don't have any expiring ECB's this week and I don't really need anything since my stockpile (and my parent's stockpile and my brother's stockpile and even some of my co-worker's stockpile) is very well-stocked right now. I'm skipping a trip this week unless some fabulous free deal pops up. I am including a newbie scenario after Karen's match-ups.
