I must say I’m more than a little disappointed this morning. What looked like a good week at CVS won’t be happening for me. Central Ohio did not receive the same ad as most of the rest of the country, and there are only three ECB deals in it. I’ll update the weekly deals with the three measly deals for the alternate ad shortly.
For now I’m operating under the assumption that most people got the full ad, and I’m creating my scenarios based on that. This would be a great week for newbies to get started, because the deals are simple and easy to use!
Transaction #1 (and CVS $5 Challenge Transaction)
BUY (2) CoverGirl Clean Makeup at $5.49
USE $1/1 CoverGirl Product, exp. 10-31-08 (P&G 9/28/08)
USE Buy Cover Girl Foundation get CG Face Product FREE, exp. 10-31-08 (P&G 9/28/08)
Out of Pocket $4.49
ECBs earned $5.49*
EARN $1 on this transaction!
*Early reports are that $5.79 in ECBs is being generated currently.

Cannot find the second post-it note coupon. I scrolled through the walmart list that week, clicked on the link to it, but there is no coupon in the forum it sent me to. What am I missing? Thanks for the great scenarios!
