CVS Scenarios - week of 8/15

There are a number of free or near free deals this week at CVS. I hope to get there early this week, before they run out of the deal items. Again, I find myself hoping that I get a $/$$ coupon by e-mail or from the coupon machine - I could easily combine this and make things even closer to free.
