It was a GREAT week at CVS, so I issued a challenge for myself. I wanted to see if I could go into CVS with just a $20 bill and walk out with lots of great stuff!! I was really, really close to being successful. I ended up spending $20.18 at CVS for the bulk of the items listed above (all that I got at Walgreens were the 3 Gatorade drinks, tomato sauce, and eggs). I split my purchases into 6 transactions and just rolled my ECBs that I earned into each subsequent transaction (which explains why I ended up with $0 in ECBs). By doing it this way, I was able to seriously reduce my OOP expenses. Walgreens had a sad little ad today, so I just used my RRs from last week to pick up a few good deals. Overall, it was another great week!!!
