CVS Scenarios - week of 4/15

I am not sure how I feel about the new 'Free Spree' and the other changes to the CVS ads. On one hand, of course, I love buy one get one type deals and I guess that their spend $30 get this free deals are similar to their CVS cash deals, but I just am not sure that there are as many ECB deals. Maybe there are and there just aren't as many that apply to me.

I have included some things in my scenarios today that I don't use and will plan to donate, because they are moneymakers. Generally, I don't pick up deals on things that I don't use, but since they are moneymakers I thought I might.
