CVS Scenarios - week of 1/9

Despite my good intentions, I never made it back to CVS last week. I'm not sure what it is, but there seem to be less hours in the day than ever and I seem to have no motivation to run out in the evenings. Oh well! You can't buy every good deal and in some ways, my waiting turned out to make the Benefiber CRT I got last week a more powerful coupon. There seem to be a lot of high value ECB offers this week. I don't seem to have the magical coupons (or quantities) that others have been sharing, so I can't get it all for free, but I feel like it is shaping up to be a nice week at CVS. Now, if only I could get one of those elusive to me $/$$ coupons in my e-mail or from the coupon machine.
