CVS Weekly Challenge 12/27/09

First I want to give another shout of thanks to Kindgomfirstmom.com for hosting the weekly CVS challenge.  It truly has inspired me to see how far I can stretch a buck (or 5).

For those who are new to the challenge the name of the game is to see how much you can get at CVS for $5.00 or less out of pocket after coupons and ECB's.  Are you up for the challenge.

Here is my scenario for this week:

Transaction 1:
1 Colgate Total Advance toothpaste 2.99
1 Ivory Soap 3pkc.  .99

$1.00/ 1 Colgate printable here

$1.00/ 1 Ivory Soap P&G 12-27

1.99 OOP

 Earn 2ECB's

Transaction 2:

1 Bumble Bee Tuna 2/1.00

1 Poland Spring 24 Pk 4.49

2.99 OOP

Use 2 ECB's from above

Earn 1 ECB

Grand total OOP $4.98

Msd. value $8.97

Not my best savings by far but I am just about out of my bottled water.  I really need to start using more re-useable sports bottles.
