The goal of this CVS challenge is to come up with up to 3 scenarios where the total spent out of pocket is $5, while still growing your ECB’s. I’m going to assume that you start out with zero ECB’s to start with, or it makes it too difficult for others to follow. If you do have ECB’s to start, you can reduce your OOP to almost zero.
For more information on the abbreviations used in this post, please see my Coupons 101 article. For more information about shopping at CVS, visit my CVS 101 article. For additional scenarios, please visit Deal Seeking Mom, Keeping the Kingdom First, The “Cent”sible Sawyer, Saving Cents with Sense, and Money Saving Mom.
For the CA CVS ad, please visit Tia’s Saving Cents.
It’s kind of a boring week at CVS, so there’s not much I can do with my scenarios unless you’re still in need of school supplies
