CVS $5 Challenge 3/29/09-4/4/09

Every week Alyssa from Keeping the Kingdom First hosts the CVS $5 Challenge. The purpose of this is to get as many things possible with a budget of $5.00. At the same time, you want to keep growing your ECBs to save for next week. Here is my scenario for this week:

Transaction 1:
Buy 2 Paas Egg Decorating Kits- 1.99 each; 1.99 ECBs (Sunday-Monday Only!)
OOP: 3.98 + tax
ECBs Earned: 3.98


Transaction 2:

Buy 2 Bags MnMs - 2/$3.00 (Sunday-Monday Only!)
Use $1.00 QP (RP 3/15)
Final Price: 2/$2.00

Buy 1 Scrubbing Bubbles Action Scrubber Starter Kit
Use $2.75 Printable QP
Final Price: $0.24

Buy 1 Scrubbing Bubbles Action Scrubber Refills
Use $2.75 Printable QP
Final Price: $0.24

Buy 1 Pack of Peeps- $0.96

Total: $3.44 + tax
Pay with $3.98 ECBs from Above
OOP: $0.00


Total OOP: 3.98 + tax



I have $6.49 (1 $3.00 & 1 $3.49) ECBs remaining from last week, so this is what I plan to buy this week.
