2011-07-20 -- $1.55

I began with 3.00ECB on Card1.  Upon arrival at the store, however, I scanned my ExtraCare card and received a 5.00ECB for having completed $50 in "beauty purchases" last week.  So I began shopping with 8.00ECB.

In addition I found yet another expired bottle of Coppertone sunscreen (03-11), so I replaced the courtesy coupon I used with a brand new one.

In addition, I should finally have broken to $50 level on "Beauty Purchases", earning me a 5.00ECB in a couple days.

Also, I found a bottel of expired Coppertone sunscreen (APRIL 2011) and since the cashier did not know how to create my California $2 OFF Coupon, she merely issued a 2.00ECB.

Card1 now has a balance of 3.00ECB (with 5.00ECB hopefully on the way after the system processes the transaction in 48 hours).
