cvs-5-dollar-challengeWelcome, 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.

It is a good week at CVS, but still a bit tough to stay under $5 OOP.

All you need is an ExtraCare Card, a CVS ad, a printer and coupons to get started. Be sure to register your CVS loyalty card with Upromise for extra college savings.

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

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

    I haven’t been yet but I am excited for the Oral B Vitality toothbrush that is usually $23. There is a $10 coupon in Sunday’s paper and you receive a $10.00 ECB.

    I have a $5 off $25 coupon which I will add something for just two dollars to my bill. I also have a $5.00 ECB waiting from last week to use, subtract the $10 MF coupon. It looks like I will get $20 off, OOP only $5.00 and get ECB back for $10!! Fun!
