CVS - sorry you're not getting it for free...

...but you're going to get a GREAT deal. Many of the sales this week are high dollar so it will be hard to cover the entire cost with coupons and ECBs. However many of these are everyday items that you will actually use!

• Gatorade/Propel 5 for $5 get $3 ECB
• Crest Pro-Health $2.99, get $2 ECB, there should be a $75 newspaper Q...I mean,if you want to pay .25 for it!
