Made $16 in ECB And Spent Only $0.32 at CVS - 11/18/12

My boyfriend and I went to CVS last night at 11:45 so we could check out at midnight like we do sometimes... but this time most of the town had the same idea because of all the good deals. It was a horrible experience because we had to wait in line for over an hour, even though we were 2nd in line!! I just have one thing to say: If you have a lot of transactions... be courteous, do one and then get to the back of the line and let everyone else do their transactions too. The people in front of us did about 20 transactions of 4 items each... that is ridiculous.

Finally when we got up to the register, we each did one transaction each and were checked out and out of there in 10 minutes. And we scored BIG. Check it out.

Total: $30.16

We also used $30 in ECB and scanned a Green Bag Tag

Total OOP: $0.17(w/ tax) on $30.16 worth of products

Also, we got back $30.16 in ECB from all the deals - that means we broke even with ECB!

For the overall trip we had over $80 worth of products at sale prices and spent only $0.32!

We also made an extra $16 in ECB on one of the cards - you can't beat that!

Just a little explanation: There are coupons available for the Carmex ($0.30) and Charmin ($0.25), but if I would have used them I would have ended up paying more money OOP because of the increments of ECB I had. If you plan on buying more that just the free items, don't forget these coupons!

Here is a picture of the receipts, by far the longest that I've ever gotten!
