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.

Looks like the Listerine coupon has been disabled
Thanks for letting me know…I’ll take it off the Listerine scenario. If you still have old inserts, you could still do the deal with either of the 2 SS coupons.
