$20 CVS Gift Card Challenge - Week 1

Do you ever receive rebates in the mail that send you a Visa Cash card?  One of the most common things I normally do is turn it directly into a gift card to either CVS or Target.  It is so much easier than having a split credit card payment or making sure the cashier enters the exact amount.  Plus in this situation, you can have fun seeing how long you can make $20 last!

I split my purchase into two transactions to lesson my out of pocket expense which is the goal.  Overall, I spent $12.25 on everything the in the picture and have $4 to begin with on my next trip.
