Welcome, 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.

This is a much better week at CVS! Be sure to hit the 3-day sale to score some free school supplies, through Tuesday only.

Although it will most likely not work for a $5 scenario, you can still print a $5/$25 CVS coupon.  Be sure to look for your free gift this month from CVS!

Don’t forget you can grab a clickable CVS $5 Challenge Button for your post or blog.

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