CVS $5 challenge -- 11/23/08 - 11/29/08

This is the challenge created by kingdomfirstmom. It assumes you walk into CVS with no ExtraCare Bucks and $5 in your pocket, and the challenge is to get as much as you can in 3 transactions or less. If you have never shopped at CVS, see my post on how to shop there first. Since this week is Black Friday, there were a TON of possibilities. This was my best shot.

Transaction #1
Buy a Bic Soleil Razor @ $5.99
Use $3/1 coupon from 11/2 RP

Buy Colgate Total Advanced, Clean, Advanced Fresh or Whitening @ $2.99
Use $1.50/1 printable coupon

Total OOP = $4.48
ECB's Received = $8.98

Transaction #2
Buy Garnier Nutritioniste cleansing towelettes @ $5.99
Use $1/1 coupon from 8/24, 9/14, or 11/9 SS

Buy Johnson's Soft Lotion @ $5.69
Use $1/1 printable coupon
Use $8.98 ECB's in transaction #1

Total OOP = $0.70
ECB's Received = $11.68

Transaction #3
Buy Maybelline Foundation @ $8.99
Use $3/1 coupon from 10/26 RP

Buy Aussie @ $2.99
Use $1/1 coupon from 10/12 PG

Buy Playtex 16-18ct @ $3.99
Use $1/1 coupon from 10/5 SS

Total OOP = $0.00
ECB's Received = $14.98

Total Spent OOP = $5.18
Total Received = $36.63
ECB's left to spend = $14.98

Okay, so I spent a little more than $5 this week, but considering the deals, how could you not?! What an amazing thing! You spend $5.18 + tax, you receive $36.63 of stuff, and you have almost $15 to spend next time you're in CVS. Holy smokes!!
