Black Friday at CVS

After spending time reading blogs about shopping at CVS for practically nothing, I have decided to give it a go. Thanks Mama Cheaps, Savings with Shellie, and Kingdom First Mom! My first week I did have to put in a little bit to get my initial Extra care Bucks (ECB), but now I am bringing home lots of goodies for very little money. I am still getting the hang of it, so there is a mistake here or there, but that's no biggie. Here was my shopping trip today!
