I don't know why, but getting nearly free stuff excites me. It's the same as the high after running. You get that rush of adrenaline followed by a sense of accomplishment.
All week long, this deal has been in the back of my mind. I've been wanting and waiting to do it, and when today finally rolled around, I got to execute it, and it went quite well!
CVS has their "extra bucks" rewards program, so you're gonna have to be willing to shop regularly at CVS to make great deals there.
