Welcome back to The CVS $5 Challenge! Thank you to all those who participated last week.
Thanks to my friend Karen at Simply Amusing Designs, I have a snazzy new button. What do ya’ think?
If you are a first time visitor, here’s the lowdown:
Join me on Sundays as I host The $5.00 CVS 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.
Simply post your scenarios on your blog (you are welcome to grab the button), then drop by Keeping the Kingdom First and add your permalink to the Mr. Linky box. Please link directly to your post, not your homepage. It would be lovely if you would also link back to The CVS $5 Challenge in your post.
If you have any questions about linking, please feel free to email me!
Most of you know I am in California enjoying a much-needed (frugal) family vacation. In light of this, I will not be posting my scenarios, just yet. The beach is waiting, ya’ know. So, you know what to do, my fellow CVS fanatics! Go!
*************************************
*RULES*
1. Come up with your best scenario/scenarios for the upcoming week at CVS using the current weekly ad, monthly deals, and coupons available. Your budget for Out of Pocket (OOP) expenses on the first transaction is only $5.00 (either cash OOP or ECBs on hand).
2. Using up to (3) scenarios (we don’t want to overwhelm the newbies with too many transactions), offer up your best scenarios to “grow” that $5.00 into more ECBs to use in following weeks.
3. If you want to divide your $5.00 allowance over the three scenarios to make them work, that’s fine!
4. Be sure to list coupons by inserts and/or with links to printables to make it easier for everyone to follow along.
**********************************************
There you have it! A new way to play the CVS ECB game by helping newbies learn the ropes. And who knows – you just might be inspired yourself by some of the deals you find, too!
Don’t have a blog? You can leave a comment with your scenario, too. I invite everyone to participate in The $5.00 CVS Challenge – no deal is too small, believe me!
By the way, we bloggers LOVE to get comments, so please do take a moment to spread a little comment love. Thanks!
I love your meme button… is it a button? Anyway, it’s really pretty!
Wow…I am so excited to have found your site. I LOVE the CVS $5 Challenge…I tried it by doing the blink tear drops, then 2 stayfree and a gallon of milk…and only spent $5.80…pretty close to my $5—I’ll keep trying. Thanks for this great game!
