CVS/is best

This is my first official post, and I am very excited! Hope you all are too. This week may not be as great as the coming weeks from here on out will be when it comes to my posts, but bare with me as I get my footing on this.

I staked out CVS today and did well. There aren't any MM or Freebies that I see, as of yet, you never know, because new coupons could crop up during the week making an item on sale at CVS free or a MM. But they have some good deals otherwise.

Here is what I bought and how I did it. I will then post a full list of this weeks ad so you can all have a better idea of what this week looks like at CVS. I had three transactions in total:

I scanned my CVS card at the Coupon Scanner and received a SQ for a FREE Milk, I was pretty darn excited about that since one of my need items was milk. I also started with $2ECB from last week.
