There are a lot of good deals at CVS this week. I hope to head over later today in hopes of getting some of the deals and use the $5/$20 coupon that I recieved via e-mail this week. (I realized this was a $5/$30, see the revision here) The $5 CVS Challenge is at the bottom of the post.Scenario #1:
Transaction #1:
1 - Loreal Age Perfect...
1 - Duracell Batteries @ 5.99
-$5 $5/$20
-$1 Loreal Mfg Coupon
-$.75 Duracell Mfg Coupon
Total $15.25, Earn $15.99 ECBs. If you have ECBs to roll, like I do, your OOP could be less.
Transaction #2:
2 - Crest Pro Health Toothpaste
1 - Duracell Batteries @9.99
2 - Glade Glass Scents
-$2 2x $1 Crest Pro Health Mfg Coupons
-$.75 Duracell Mfg Coupon
-$2.50 BOGO Glade Mfg Coupon
Total $16.72. Pay with $15.99 ECBs from Transaction #1 and $.73 OOP. Earn $6.98 ECBs.
Transaction #3:
2 - Glade Glass Scents
1 - Duracell Batteries @5.99
-$2.50 BOGO Glade Mfg Coupon
-$.75 Duracell Mfg Coupon
Total $7.74. Pay with $6.99 ECBs from Transaction #2 and $.75 OOP. Earn $15 and $5 ECBs.
Transaction #4:

2 - Right Guard Deodorant
-$1.50 Vaseline Clinical Mfg coupon
Total $15.46. Pay with $15 ECBs from Transaction #3 and $.46 OOP. Earn $2, $4.99, and $4 ECBs.
You will have spent $17.19 OOP and have $15.99 ($5, $2, $4.99, and $4) ECBs to roll to next week. So, for a net cost of $1.20 (OOP - ECBs earned), you will have batteries for all of your Christmas toys, 2 tubes of toothpaste, Air Fresheners, Facial Moisturizer, Lotion, 2 sticks of Deodorant and some energy drinks.
