So...I haven't done a lot of CVS shopping lately because I'm pretty well stocked on toiletries and I just don't have the room to store very much stuff. But, for the next 4 days CVS is having some awesome ECB deals and when combined with coupons, a lot of free stuff and even a few moneymakers. I did 10 transactions in total in order to get the lowest out of pocket. I spent $7.34 total out of pocket, $2.80 of that was tax. Here's what I got (minus the 2 Starbucks Refreshers that were already put in the refrigerator by my 16 year old because "They don't taste good if they're not cold.") :
