The total came to $1.99, plus an additional $1.12 in tax, for a grand total of $3.11.  I began with 11.98ECB, spent all of them, and earned back 17.99ECB (9.99ECB for Alive and 8.00ECB for Blink Raincheck).

Once again, CVS has paid me to shop.  For $3.11 in actual cash, I bought these five items and increased my ECB from 11.98ECB to 17.99ECB.  Overall, a nearly $3.00 profit.
