It was another good trip to CVS. Lots of stuff I can donate in the coming weeks and a great way to increase my ECB's for the coming 2 day sale on the 21st and 22nd at CVS - over 37 items you can get for free after ECB's!!!

Coupons I used:
1.00 J&J Q found in diabetic book (at pharmacy counters)
5.99 taken off (had a raincheck for the Well Patch)

so, 14.97 - 14.68 (Q's and ECB's) = 0.29 cents!!! (paid this with GC so $0.00 OOP)

Food for thought: If we defend our habits we have no intention of quitting them.
