One of the mothers in my son school class and who is also my coupon buddies shared with me her frugal challenge for 2009, she named it “$1200 Frugal Challenge 2009“. She inspired me to start my own frugal challenge 2009. I thought since she has 3 girls and I only have 1 boy, I probably should set my frugal challenge to $1000 .

Well, in case you need to stock up free Colgate tooth paste, well, this deal is for you.

This week, CVS has this really sweet deal which makes 3 Colgate tooth pastes free


It is 2 for $5 and there is a $2 ECB (extra bucks rewards)

And there is a $1.5 coupon where you can print and make your Colgate free ! Print your coupon HERE.

This is what I did today.

I bought 2 Colgate tooth paste , paid $2.34 and get back $2 ECB

Then I bought 2 boxes of Soy Joy, they are $6 a box and get back $6 ECB, so I paid $10 and used the $2 ECB for 2 boxes of Soy Joy snacks bars. From this deal, I got back $12 ECB. I then used the $12ECB and purchased another 2 boxes of Soy Joy. The limit is 5 boxes. Since I already bought 1 box on Wednesday. So that is the limit for this time.

So I paid $12.34 from my pocket today for 2 tooth pastes and 4 boxes of Soy Joy fruits bar and got back $12 ECB for next purchase. Now that I am having this $1000 challenge, I think I am going to use the $10 for milk in the future

Total spend $12.34
Left to spend for 2009 = $987.66

I hope you will follow me through this challenge .
