2011-02-17 -- $1.11

The paltry deals have kept me away from from CVS for the better part of three weeks.  Pitiful deals all throughout the store.  I began with 7.99ECB on Card1.

The balance came to $0.80, plus an additional $0.31 in local tax, for a grand total of $1.11.  I began with 7.99ECB, spent 3.99ECB, and earned 3.79ECB (for Colgate).  Card1 now has a balance of 7.79ECB.

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.

The Wednesday Balance

Card1 = 7.99ECB
Card2 = 0.00ECB
Card3 = 5.00ECB

That makes a total of 12.99ECB for all three of my Households

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.
