My first CVS shopping trip.

Yesterday, I went to the big sale at CVS.  I had to drive 35 miles to get to the closest one to me.  I got there early and was the second person there.  I was prepared with a list and coupons.  I noticed a sign posted that their store would be closing down soon.  As I shopped, I noticed that they were already out of alot of the sale items.  When I went to check out, I found out why.  The  first customer there was a man who had 5 CVS cards, he had already went and got almost every item that was on the sale before anyone else  could.

On the brighter side of things, I was able to find out how the whole CVS thing worked, and I was able to get $80 worth of stuff for only $20.

Good shopping! I hate the people with that many cards that wipe out the sale items. The rules state that it's supposed to be one card per person.

What a rude man! Maybe he was shopping for others? Still the rules are the rules!

I usually can only get a few of the sale items also. You did good though for what you were able to get.

Sound like you made out well.

You just stated why I avoid the store. They were always out and I don't like to waste gas.

You can always ask for rainchecks when they are sold out of the sale items.
