2011-05-02 -- 87 Cents

Well, it was time to temporarily retire one of my cards.  The deals have been few and far between for most of 2011 and having two cards active was not yielding much action.  True, my savings rate is upwards of 97+% for 2011, but the Free After ECB deals are rarer and rarer.

Of course, something will likely change soon and I can un-retire the card.  I began this final Card1 transaction with a measly 0.99ECB.

On a positive note, I found two bottles of expired Coppertone (2009! and 2010!).  The cashier issued me TWO $2.00 Courtesy Coupons.  (Since it was the same product, I was only entitled to one, but by the time I noticed what he was doing, the second one was printing.)  That helps make up a bit for the lousy-ness that has become CVS in 2011.

2011-01-31 -- $3.86

I began with 7.99ECB on Card3.  Since I had five (5) CVS store coupons for "$1 Off SoftSoap" from the quarterly CVS Reinventing Beauty magazine, I needed to make 5 separate transactions (because the registers deny use of identical store coupons in single transactions).  Rather than itemize each transaction, I rolled them all into a single listing.

2010-12-30 -- $10.89 + $5.64 = $16.53

Yikes. It turned out to be a spenda-palooza to close out 2010.  Actually, I had intended to make a small purchase, but discovered two Free After ECB+Coupon Oral-B Vitality toothbrushes, and since the $10 OFF coupons were expiring at the end of December, I figured that I would splurge.
