This week is looking much better than last week. Get ready for some awesome deals!
Don’t forget you can now 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 $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.
*RULES* Bloggers: Please make sure at least one scenario is $5 OOP or less
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!
Here is MY $5 Scenario for the week of June 7th:
*coupons in red
Transaction #1
Buy 2 Dawn dish liquid, 10.3 oz @ 2/$2.00
$0.25/1 Dawn Dish Detergent (P&G 6/7)

Total After Coupons= $1.25
ECBs earned= $1.00
Transaction #2

$4.00/1 Gillette Fusion razor (P&G 6/7)

Total After Coupons & ECBs= $2.99
