And reader Nikki does her CVS shopping on Saturdays when her store runs both the current weeks ads and the upcoming weeks ads at the same time.  Some stores do switch over early but not all.  Also, the stores that switch over early do it at different times.  Some, in the morning and some late at night around 9:00.
Here’s the deal she scored using both last weeks and this weeks deals in one trip:
