I think one of the best deals is to get the CVS GC so that you have CVS currency that never expires. If you’re wanting to buy formula you can roll the GCs and keep your OOP lower. If you’re wanting to buy 7 formulas I’d recommend calling ahead and asking your store to order it for you. {Read More}

We all love comfort and convenience. We enjoy sodas, coffees and teas. We decorate our homes and enjoy many “extras” that some people can’t even fathom.
