This is the first week of a new weekly tradition for CVS.  Going forward, every week there will be a Scenario post for CVS.  This post will include specific items and coupons that you can use to maximize your dollar AND Extra Care Bucks at CVS.  Please know that you do not have to follow these transactions if you do not want to.  The goal of this post is to help you get an idea on how to roll your Extra Care Bucks from one week to the next.  Please also know that these transactions do not take into account tax.  Every state taxes differently so you may need to budget a little extra to cover tax.
