The Wednesday Balance

My ECB totals have skyrocketed of late, thanks to the perpetual CVS Store Coupons offering $4 Off $20+ Purchase, some really good FAECB items, and decent manufacturer's coupons on those FAECB items.  I cannot recall when I have had such a larger revolving balance.

Card1 = 14.99ECB
Card2 = 15.00ECB
Card3 = 29.98ECB

Nearly 60.00ECB for all three of my Households.  Wow.

My total came to $0.56, plus an additional $0.97 in tax, for a grand total of $1.53.  In addition, I used 9.99ECB and earned 7.00ECB (for Zegerid), leaving Card2 with a balance of 8.00ECB.

I also screwed up this transaction in two ways.  First, I miscalculated my totals, overlooking the $4.19 BOGO coupon for Dry Idea.  Second, I used a different tactic when playing this time, spending my 9.99ECB first, rather than at the end. I did this to experiment with the "Use Manufacturers Coupons Last" to reduce tax levels.

So, while it was not a total loss, the transaction was more costly than it should have been.  I had three $1 Off Emerald Nut coupons that I couldn't use because my total was so low.  I had thought about tossing in a $3.33 box of Raisin Bran (to start the "3/$10, Get 5.00ECB" deal, but didn't stop to recalculate my plan after finding several items out of stock.  In the end, I left $3 in coupons unused, meaning I could have bought three more dollars worth of merchandise for roughly the same OOP.

Oh well. My ECB total for Card2 would have been roughly the same, so it's not exactly a bad transaction. Just not the optimum.  (Plus, I do still get to use my $1 Emerald Nut coupons later on.)

Yup, that's right.  My total came to exactly ZERO since my coupons/discounts ($20.99) matched my purchase amount ($20.99).  There was local tax of 71 cents, which is my grand total amount paid.  It's always fun to hit it exactly (although even better when you go negative!).
