CVS has finally come out with their coupon policy. You can go here to print yourself a copy.

CVS Coupon Policy 

It looks like this week at CVS is going to be a big one. I will try to get the deals and coupon matches post in the morning before church.

Sorry about last week, it was alittle crazy around here with coming back from Florida.
