Welcome, my fellow CVS fanatics and newbies! It’s Sunday, time for our weekly CVS $5 Challenge. The place to go for simple CVS scenarios with step-by-step instructions.

There is a small 3-day sale once again which includes a few school supplies and cheap mascara.  Go early for the best selection!

Although it will most likely not work for a $5 scenario, you can still print a $5/$25 CVS coupon.  Be sure to look for your free gift this month from CVS!

Don’t forget you can grab a clickable CVS $5 Challenge Button for your post or blog.

If you are a first time visitor, here’s the lowdown:

Join me on Sundays as I host The CVS $5.00 Challenge!

Seasoned CVSers: share your best scenario(s) for the upcoming week at CVS.

Your budget: $5.00 out-of-pocket cash.

Your mission: to grow that $5.00 into even more ECBs to use in upcoming weeks.

    Question? I have 4 ecb from last week…I want to get the Carefree ( I have $1 off coupon) and do the Glade sense and spray ( I have 2 $4 off coupons)…Which one should I do 1st…Sometimes I sit here making myself go crazy trying to figure out how this game works??? Do I do the cheapest 1st or vice versa??? Or would this scenario be okay doing all at once??? What would other people do?? I just need a little help please…I lost sleep last night thinking about this stuff…LOL
