CVS Scenarios - week of 1/3

Maybe it is because I have such a full stock pile on many items, but there aren't many deals that make me feel like rushing out in the cold to get. Or maybe, it's that I don't get many of the coupons anymore. The paper I get that always had all of the good Red Plum coupons in it no longer carries Red Plum, they go out in the mail to local residents and since I am not "local", I simply lose out. I built my scenarios only with the coupons I had available. Some of the other deals could be great if you have more coupons.
