Anyone have some great ways to approach the deals at CVS on the 5th? Scenrios would be greatly appreciated. I have all the coupons and will have plenty of the ones coming out on sunday..including 14 ECBS.

How do you all know what the upcoming ads are, like what coupons are coming out and what the cvs deals are before hand?
Thanks, just curious, CVS.com is still showing this weeks ad, not next week.

I ask my CVS store for their Sales Flyer for the next few weeks and they will give me at least 2 weeks worth

....Just ask the cashier for next weeks flyer or 2 weeks ahead...i had the cashier give me next weeks today

...Just ask them...

One of my fav blogs nearby has some eye-popping scenarios-she's planning on $87. with about $1.50 OOP!
Cool, huh? I'm just a little bummed we only get 1 insert this time 'round.
