CVS on a Ten Dollar Budget

Today I used 2 cards because I wanted to start with zero ECB for new CVS'ers. My aunt (Barbara Tia, yes I know I say it backwards for those that know spanish, but this is what I've called her all my life) stated she doesn't do as well as we do. So this plan is for her and those starting out with no ECB's.
