I stopped by CVS this morning to find that they did not have the Oral B toothbrushes that are on sale for $23, earn 13 ECB this week. I was really disappointed, but part of couponing is rolling with the punches. I would have just held my $7.49 in ECB's until Black Friday, but they expire on 11/18. I've re-worked my scenarios using the other deals this week, and it's not too shabby.
