CVS $5 DEALS

With the $5 deal, the goal as always is to maximize product while minimizing out of pocket. Frequently, this means a number of small transactions are needed.

Transaction #1
4 - Glade Glass Scents

-$5 2xBOGO Glade Coupon

$5 OOP, earn $5 ECBs.

Transaction #2
1 - Zantrex 3 2-pk

$4.99. Pay with $5 ECB from Transaction #1, adjusted down to $4.99. Earn $4.99 ECBs.

Transaction #3
2 - Crest Pro Health

-$2 2x$1 Crest Mfg Coupon

Total $4.98. Pay with $4.99 ECBs from Transaction #2, adjusted down to $4.98. Earn $6.98 ECBs.

Transaction #4
2 - Right Guard Deoderant
1 - Candy Bar (or other $1 filler)

Total $6.98. Pay with $6.98 ECBs from Transaction #3. Earn $4 ECBs.

Total OOP $5, and you have $4 ECBs to roll to next week. So, for a net cost of $1 (OOP - ECBs earned), you will have 4 air fresheners, 2 tubes of toothpaste, 2 deoderants and a candy bar treat.


HERE IS ANOTHER ..ONLY TWO TRANSACTIONS
