CVS Scenarios - week of 2/14

I never did make it back to CVS last week to try to get the crackers. It was a split decision, partially I didn't really have the time to run out and partially I decided that I really was pretty well stocked on crackers and there didn't seem to be much urgency in going out to get them as a result.

This week, there are some deals that can be free or close to it after ECBs, so I am planning to head out.

Transaction #1

1 - Crest ProHealth Enamel Shield Toothpaste
1 - Crest ProHealth Enamel Shield Rinse
1 - Aussie Haircare

-$.50 Colgate Mfg coupon
-$.75 Crest Toothpaste mfg coupon
