I had not been to CVS in about two weeks since the sales have been super slow lately. But I think I made up for it this week. I usually try not to dip below keeping $10.00 ECB on hand at any time, but I did slightly this week. But I know I will make up for it next week during the Thanksgiving weekend sales. Here's what I did over 3 transactions:
