    I am a newbie (3 weeks in) to couponing and CVS ECB’s. BUT I’m loving it! I thought I was going to go under $5 oop this week, but messed up one of my transactions and ended up at $7.68 oop. But, I got $36 of product and have 3.99 in ECB’s for next week, so I think I did pretty well for a beginner! Next week, I’ll stay under $5!
