7/17/10 CVS Trip

I have mixed feelings about this trip. I know I shouldn't complain because I got some really good deals. However, it's aggravating when I'm supposed to get ECBs and I don't. When I asked about it, I was told "I can't do anything about it. The register prints out what you're supposed to get." So...what do I do? I ask for the manager. And I'm told that she's on vacation. So...I paid more than I was supposed to for the 2nd transaction because I didn't get all my ECBs from the 1st one.

Transaction #1:

(6) CVS Pantiliners @ $.50 each = $3.00
(10) Oral-B Pulsar Toothbrushes @ $2.50 each = $25.00
(1) CVS Sanitizer Pen = $1.99

Total Before Coupons: $29.99

Coupons Used:

(1) $4/$20 Email = $4.00
(5) BOGO Oral-B Pulsar Toothbrushes (PG 6/6) = $12.50
(5) $2.00 off Oral-B Pulsar Toothbrushes (PG 7/4) = $10.00
(1) Free CVS Sanitizer Pen (Email) = $1.99

Total Amount of Coupons: $28.49
Total OOP After Taxes and Coupons: $3.32 = 90%
Trip Summary (Savings from Sale Prices and Coupons): $67.34 = 96% (I like this one better than the one above.)
Received: $1 ECB for Pantiliners (should have been $3 ECB)

Transaction #2:

(10) SOBE Life Waters @ $.77 each = $7.70

Coupons Used:

(5) BOGO SOBE Life Waters = $3.85
(1) $1 ECB from Transaction #1 = $1.00

Total Amount of Coupons: $4.85
Total OOP After Taxes and Coupons: $2.93 = 62%
Trip Summary (Savings from Sale Prices and Coupons): $13.05 = 82% (Again...I like this one better!)

Transaction #3:

Well.....I asked for a rain check for the Chex Mix because they were out of it. Instead of giving me one, the lady walked to the back and got some out of storage. The only kind they had was Cheddar. I didn't want Cheddar. I wanted the Spicy one. She told me that she couldn't give me a rain check if they had some Chex Mix. So...I either had to take the Cheddar or do without the rain check. I didn't know how hubby would feel about it because he's been wanting Chex Mix all week so I got it.

(3) Chex Mix @ $1.00 each = $3.00

Coupons Used:

(3) $.55 off Chex Mix = $1.65

Total OOP After Taxes and Coupons: $1.38 = 55%
Trip Summary (Savings from Sale Prices and Coupons): $8.52 = 86%
