CVS on A $10 Budget (3/16/09)

I am so excited that Juanita from The Frugalicious Mommy will be guest posting every Monday with her CVS deals! Below are this week’s deals.

Monday is here again, where did the weekend go?????

This Monday I started with ZERO ECBs, I do this so that those of you that are just beginning will at least have a starting point. Every time I walk into any CVS I scan my card, usually I get several coupons (hoping to get a $5 off $25, I just love these). As you may have noticed I usually buy the Glucose monitors every week, I buy these just to get me closer to the $25 total without actually spending the $25 (since I have q’s for these I get them for free). Okay, here are my purchases this week:
