We've talked before about burning out on The Drugstore Game by shopping too much, but I don't think what's going on here. I think it's more that I'm well-stocked and none of the sales are calling to me. Thanks to my plays in The Drugstore Game for the last six months, we have no urgent needs. I can wait for the very best deals to come along, and thanks to my price book, I know that the deals I'm seeing this week don't fall in that category. It's worth noting that I realize others probably do see fantastic deals out there - but we all have different needs. For instance, my kids aren't in school yet, so I won't go out of my way for inexpensive or even free school supplies.
While I'm not burned out, I think it's still good for my mental health to take a week off from The Drugstore Game anyway. Instead of sorting coupons and putting together deals, I can cook, write, and play more with the kids.
However, I see that next week at CVS, there are a few things I will probably want to pick up. ;)

I feel the exact same way. I made a quick stop at CVS for nearly free mascara this week but that was it. There just doesn't seem to be a whole lot of great deals going on right now.
Me too! How many tubes of toothpaste do I really need? I still check it and try to use my coupons but I haven't been feeling the love lately.
I saw cheap ice cream for next week. There are peelies for them in my store. :-)
You got your wish! Walgreens coupon posted!! http://jusgrocerybrags.blogspot.com/2008/08/520-coupon-for-walgreens.html
