I learned on my shopping trip to CVS yesterday that my store starts the next week's deals on Saturday morning. I was interested to learn this. I would have to rely on posts to plan the visit, but it might be a good way to knock out multiple deals on fewer visits.
Transaction #1
1 - Tums
1 - Trident
2 - John Frieda Shampoo/Conditioner
-$2 Tums CRT
-$1 Tums IP
-$2 John Frieda Root Awakening mfg coupon

Total $9.98 (works for me, I have a $10 ECB to use) OOP. Earn $1, $.99, and $3 ECBs.
Transaction #2

-$.75 Cheerios IP

Total $7.75, pay with $2, $1 and $.99 ECBs and $3.76 OOP. Earn $4 ECBs.
For the visit, the total OOP would be $13.74, with $4 ECBs to roll, for $32 in product at sales prices. A savings of 62%.
I didn't pick up the vitamins that were on deal last week, so since CVS are on sale BOGO and I have a $3/$10 CVS vitamin CRT. I will have to see what varieties I need.

CVS is showing the next week's ad on Thursday now. There's a direct link something like cvs.com/preview but I'm not sure at the moment. However, I've found it just by going to this week's ad and then there's a tab for next week's ad. It's available starting on Thursdays but I guess this could just be a regional thing?
