This has to be the best CVS trip for me yet. Hey, I spend my days with a dog and 18 chickens. You would get excited over this, too!
Thanks to Megan
Megan put her case with her ECB’s in my shopping bag when I visited her last month. Oopsies! Not wanting any of her hard earned savings to go to waste, I decided to use some of her ECB’s on this transaction. Oh, and the Viologie crt was issued to her card.
Thanks to Jamie

I did not think the ECB’s would go in the negative and cover taxes, but this is not the first time this has happened. I even asked the cashier how much was tax so I would give the correct amount in ECB’s. Hmm.
**I did not plan nor did I expect the Purex coupon to be credited at the full $8.99. Knowing it is allowed to use two coupons when you buy two items even when one item is free, I opted to use my free coupon and $1 off coupon to maximize my savings and limit my cost to 49¢. This was one of those unplanned happy occurrences.
