This challenge was created by kingdomfirstmom. It assumes you have no ECB's and walk into CVS with only $5 in your pocket. The goal is to get as much as you can for $5, with 3 or less transactions (so as to not overwhelm you newbies!).
Transaction #1
Buy Crest Pro-Health Whitening Toothpaste - $3.49
Use $1/1 coupon from 10/12 PG insert
Hint: If you had taken my advice at the beginning of the month, you could have gotten a $3 off coupon, but that deal has now expired. Shame on you for not listening earlier!
Total after coupons = $2.49 + tax
Total ECB's earned = $3.49
Transaction #2
Buy Sure Solid 2.6 oz deodorants - $2.79
Use $0.75 Sure coupon from 10/19 SS or $1/1 printable coupon
Buy Windex - $2.50
Use $1/1 Windex printable coupon
Use $3.49 in ECB's from Transaction #1
Total after coupons = $0.05 + tax
Total ECB's earned = $2.00
Transaction #3
Buy RightGuard Extreme, Dry Idea or Soft & Dri deodorant - $2.99
Use $0.50/1 Soft & Dri or Dry Idea 10/5 SS
Use $2 ECB's in Transaction #2
Total after coupons = $0.49 + tax
Total ECB's earned = $3.00
Total spent OOP = $3.03 + tax
Total received = $11.77
Total ECB's Left = $3.00
Essentially, you paid $0.03 after ECB's -- especially if you saved the $3 ECB's from last week!
