Mailing list databases have been around forever for mass mailings. With
all the places your name is connected with your address, it's not hard
to figure that one of them cashed in on the value of their customer
database and sold your info to a company that then marketed it out to
anyone with enough cash in their hand.
Also, if you've been in the same residence for any length of time (over
a year) I don't see how you wouldn't be sold out to the mailing list
harvesters.
My guess would be that your CVS connection might have been triggered by
online activity, but once they have a name, there are many places to
obtain the rest of your contact info. Do you have a telephone? The Bells
have been selling the whitepages database for decades. Why wouldn't the
Cells do the same thing as the Bells?

That I can understand, but sending mail with your name on it directly
to your house??
And even in a timely fashion rather than some 6 month lag time - it's
just the last couple weeks this gal has been on a CVS kick...
