CVS $5 challenge -- 11/2/08 - 11/8/08

CVS Pharmacy -- $5 challenge


This is the weekly challenge by kingdomfirstmoms. It assumes you go into CVS pharmacy with no ECB rewards, and $5 in your pocket. The goal is to get as much as you can for $5. If you save up your ECB rewards, you could potentially never pay for another thing at CVS again!


Transaction #1
Buy Crest Pro-Health Whitening Toothpaste 4.2 oz @ $3.49
Use a snail-mail coupon for $3 off
Or if you're not patient, use a $1/1 coupon from 11/2 PG
Total OOP = $0.49 + tax
Receive $3.49 in ECB


Transaction #2
Buy Gillette Fusion @ $9.99
Use $4/1 coupon from 9/28 PG
Use $3.49 ECB from Transaction #1

Total OOP = $2.50 + tax
Receive $5 in ECB

Transaction #3
Buy Colgate 360-degree, motion, or kids battery toothbrush @ $4.99
Use $0.75/1 coupon from 10/26 SS

Buy Dawn Dishsoap @ $0.99
Use $0.25/1 coupon from Oct PG
Use $5 ECB from transaction #2
Total OOP = $0.00 + tax
Receive $2.00 in ECB

Total Spent = $2.99 + tax
Total Received = $19.46
(note that if you had saved the $4 ECB from last week, you'd get $19 worth of stuff and pay nothing!)
