Great Job at CVS! I love robbing them silly! I think a whole bunch of us will have the whitest teeth ever with all the toothpaste we have stocked up! ha ha ha!
@ CVS Junkie
Ha ha…since I am obsessed with my teeth anyway. 🙂
I don’t think we are robbing them blind. If they were losing money they would stop accepting coupons.
They are probably not making as huge a profit as they would before the coupon…but they are still making a profit anyway.
Try iheartcvs.com. You can get the next month’s worth of sale flyers NOW. It pays to plan ahead.

Thanks for the link. I was using HotCoupon world but this is even more in advance than them.
