Frugal Grandma's CVS Trip

We finally recruited my mom to join us on our savings. Frugal Grandma went to CVS today. She has been to CVS several times but just rolled her ECB over on things she wanted, never with a plan in mind. Well she jumped on the bandwagon and came up with these transactions. Watch out CVS she's got it down now!

Great job Mom
