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. I will be emphasizing food as much as possible, as I often get free health & beauty items already.
By doing three transactions I am able to purchase more by rolling the extra bucks earned on one transaction onto the next. Here is my plan:
Total Cost (excludes tax): $5.00
Total Sale Price of Products: $15.00

About my Charity Chest: One of my favorite things about deal shopping is having more to share with others. 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. So 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.
