Here's my $5 CVSing for Charity Challenge shopping trip for the CVS weekly ad of April 27, 2014. It was a very short list and only one transaction since I was not doing any extra buck deals.
I was happy to be able to get two more of the Ban Cloths with the free insert coupons. By receiving extra coupons from others I am able to share even more. The theater candy I had on my $5 CVS Charity Shopping List did not match what I needed, but Sarah found this T-shirt on clearance that we will be able to use in one of our Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Gifts. I used this current printable coupon:
Total Retail Price of Products: $ 26.04
Total Paid (excludes tax): $ 4.92
Total Savings: $ 21.12 ~ 81%
Destination: Chili--church food pantry, T-shirt--Operation Christmas Child Shoebox gift, Ban Cloths--my Charity Chest awaiting a later donation as needed.
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.
