CVS Trip 5/8

I know that I’ve been really lax about getting the CVS deals posted on time lately! I’m so sorry! I’m going to try to do a better job of getting that information out earlier in the week. I’ve focused on my Start Saving series and missed a few of my regular deal listings. Hopefully next week we’ll be back to normal!

I stopped by CVS today and got a few good deals. My goal was to get Claritin for my daughter and drinks for our trip this weekend. I got both and didn’t spend too much, especially considering the cost of the items I got. Here’s how my two transactions broke down:
