Your Sister Saving at the CVS!

Have you seen the CVS commercial where a woman says her local CVS is really "Sara's CVS" and they show the new sign being hoisted up on the side of the building?  Well, that's how I feel!  I feel like there are quite a few CVS stores out there that are really "Janet's CVS"!

I began this week with $7 ECBs.  ($3 ECB from Oral-B toothbrush, couple of weeks ago, $3 ECB from the magic red coupon machine for my Spring spending, and $1 ECB for using my reusable shopping bag and getting my green bag tag scanned four times!)  How I decide what to buy usually means looking at the ad and seeing what's a really good deal this week.  It was a slow week, but here's what I got:
