website of mine still in progress, but I did complete the Walgreen $5 challenge today and rolled my extra care bucks. I used to do it differently, but I love the idea of only $5 out of pocket each week. Thanks for the great tips!

Well, after I posted my scenario, I realized that it’s EXACTLY the same as yours! Whoops! I guess great minds think alike 🙂

I’ve gotten a couple of $5 off Halloween from the red machine
able to use on candy
2 transactions of ( 2) 2.50 bags of candy
$10 free candy, get back $3ECB
If you get candy with MQs, I suppose you could get some other Halloween item too – like .99 lighted up necklaces or pack of pencils.
