The CVS $5 Challenge: November 9-15

This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here.

Welcome, all my fellow CVS fanatics and newbies! It’s Sunday, time for another CVS $5 Challenge.

Thank you so much to all of last week’s participants! I was so impressed with all the deals y’all managed to come up with–even on a slow week. This week should be even better! There are several goodies to be had.

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 by right-clicking on it and saving), then drop byKeeping 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!

******************************************
*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.

Here is MY $5 Scenario for the week of November 9th:

Transaction #1
Buy 1 Garnier Fructis shampoo/cond. @ $2.99
$1.00 11/9 RP insert
Buy 1 Glaceau Smart water 1 liter @ $1.59

Total after coupon= $3.58

Transaction #2
Buy 1 Listerine Agent Cool Blue Tinting Rinse @ $3.99
$1.00 IP here
Pay with $2.00 ECBs from above

Total after coupons= $0.99

ECBs earned= $3.00

Grand Total OOP= $4.57

Total Value= $8.57

Remaining ECBs= $3.00, $1.59

Keep rolling those ECBs for even more savings!

*********************************

There you have it! A 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!
