CVS Scenarios - week of 2/5

After a successful visit to CVS last week, I am hopeful that I will be able to pick up some deals this week. I see that they brought back a slightly less 'good' deal on the soda. Now it works out to be $2.33/12pk, versus the $2/12pk that it would have been last week. If I'm there, I might pick up the deal since I failed to make it in last week.
