So I decided to give the CVS $5 Challenge at Keeping the Kingdom First a try this week (first time ever). The rules are simple, get as much as you can using coupons and Extra Care Bucks (ECB) in no more than 3 transactions with no more than $5 out of pocket. Listed below is a “Scenario” that would allow you to buy over $22 worth of stuff for less than $5!
Transaction 1
· Buy (1) Nivea for Men Body Wash $4.99
o Use $1 off 1 coupon from RedPlum insert (8/29)
o GET $4.99 ECB
o Out of pocket$3.99
Total OOP $3.99
ECBs earned $4.99
Transaction 2
· Buy (1) Skintimate Shave Cream $3.99
o Use $0.75 off 1 coupon from SmartSource insert (8/1)
o GET $3 ECB
o Out of pocket $3.24
· Buy (1) High Octane Energy Chews $1.99
o GET $1.99 ECB
o Out ofpocket $1.99
Use $4.99 ECB from previous transaction
Total OOP $0.24
ECBs earned $4.99
Transaction 3
· Buy (2) Air Wick Aqua Mist $5.00
o Use B1G1free coupon from SmartSource insert (8/8)
o Print $1 off 1 coupon HERE
· Buy (2) Lysol Neutra Air Spray $5.00
o Print (2) $1 off 1 Lysol coupons HERE
o GET $5 ECB for buying (4) select Lysol or Airwick products
o Out of pocket $4.50
· Buy (1) Kit Kat 8-pk $0.77
o Out of pocket $0.77
· Buy (1) caramel by register (filler item) $0.33
o Out of pocket $0.33
Use $4.99 ECB from previous transaction
Total OOP $0.61
ECBs earned $5.00
Grand Total OOP $4.84
Total Value - $22.07 with $5.00 ECB remaining
So this was fun for my first challenge! Hope you guys can come up with some successful deals as well. I’d love for you to leave a comment if you find something else!
