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.

There is a discrepancy in your transaction because the Colgate coupon $1/1 expires in 7/31/2010 and the deals of this week starts from 08/01/2010. Therefore, you can only use the Colgate 0.50 cent coupon from P&G
Thanks Mina…I completely missed the expiration date on that coupon! I have corrected the transaction.
