Welcome to the CVS $5 Challenge! Every Saturday night I will post my best scenario on how you can get great products at CVS for under five bucks.
This is a special Pre-Black Friday ad that will run from 11/23 – 11/26 only. You can see the full list of deals and freebies(!) on Couponing 101. Stephanie also mentions that this sale looks a lot better than the Black Friday one, so be sure to get out there and shop BEFORE the shopping frenzy hits! This Challenge is a bit longer than usual, as I really wanted to maximize the freebies!
Want to participate? All you need is an ExtraCare Card, a CVS ad, a printer, and coupons to get started. Be sure to register your CVS loyalty card with Upromise for extra college savings. You can also use the new Ibotta app to save even more!
Here’s how this works:
Your budget: Start with $5 out-of-pocket cash.
Your mission: To grow that $5 into even more ECBs to use in upcoming weeks.
If this is your first time here, start by reading the rules here. Curious about how to do multiple transactions at CVS? Read The Ins and Outs of CVSing.
Here is my scenario for this week’s Challenge. Feel free to leave the link to your scenario in the Linky below, or if you don’t have a blog, share your scenario in the comments!
