Here's my $5 CVSing for Charity Challenge shopping trip for the CVS weekly ad of April 20, 2014. My original shopping list with three transactions planned worked perfectly!
Total Retail Price of Products: $ 22.55
Total Paid (excludes tax): $ 5.00 (see details below)
Total Savings: $ 17.55
Transaction #1:
Transaction #2:
Buy: 2 -- Cheerios @ 2/$5 get $1 extra bucks
Buy: 1 -- Hormel Compleats @ $2.00
Destination: The food will be delivered to our church's food pantry and the deodorant will be tucked away in the charity chest.
My $5 CVSing for Charity Challenge is much like my $50 CVS Gift Card Challenge, but with a bit of different twist. I will be budgeting $5 each week total for shopping at CVS for items to donate to local or global charities.

About my Charity Chest: One of my favorite things about deal shopping is having more to share. Not only can I get great things with coupons and CVS extra bucks, but by saving on my own budget I have more cash to share, too. Whenever I can get a fantastic deal on an item that my family does not need I pick it up and tuck it away in my Charity Chest until I find someone who needs it. Another way I have more to give is by earning free CVS gift cards thru Swagbucks. I have been able to give thru local charities and my own church as well as thru national ministries like Operation Christmas Child.
