This Week’s CVS Journey

Well, I have been doing the CVS thing for a little over a month now. I only ever do one transaction at a time as the whole thing really intimidates me. My strategy has been to come up with a couple scenarios and then head to the store. The problem is, inevitably I get there and they don’t have an item or two which is really frustrating. Actually, that isn’t too bad as long as they have formula, that is my old standby, but lately they haven’t had that either. However, I was in for a treat this evening because the store was well stocked! Score.

And tonight, I ventured into the land of multiple transactions. It wasn’t nearly as scary as I thought it might be! It helped that there was a nice cashier working and there wasn’t a line behind me. Here is what I ended up with. . .
