CVS Coupon Shopping Challenge: Week #1 (3/1-3/7)


Starting this week, I've decided to change things up a bit and start a CVS coupon shopping challenge for myself. Every week for next month, I will be heading into CVS, trying to score some amazing deals and sharing those deals with all of you. After the month has passed, I will do yet another breakdown of all of the deals that I scored for the entire month, including how much I spent and how much the items are worth. I will also be doing a Rite Aid coupon shopping challenge starting next week, so stay tuned for that! Now with that said, here is my breakdown for week #1...
