Can you believe I didn’t set foot in a CVS for nearly a month? I realized just in the nick of time last Saturday that my ECBs were expiring that day, so I made a trip to roll them over. Luckily I was able to do it quickly and easily in one transaction!

Transaction

3 Pantene ProV at 3/$9.99

Just tried my Outlast Lipcolor for the first time today, and I’m lovin’ this stuff so far! And even better, it was FREE!!!

Have you made a trip recently, and how did you make out?

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve participated in the $5 CVS Challenge, but I’m back with a super easy money-making scenario for Newbies that want to try their hand at CVSing!

BUY (3) Right Guard Sport or Xtreme at $2.99
