CVS- using up expiring ECB's


I haven't been posting all my transactions, mostly because I have been so busy; also because a lot of them had stocking stuffers that I did not want my kids to see! Anyway, it seems like CVS has not had the best of deals lately, and I had $21.87 in ECB's expiring. They did not have some of the things I wanted in stock, so this was pretty much ad-lib. At least I did not have much OOP (mostly tax).
Listerine $3.99 used $1 q & got $3 ECB = FREE
Lysol Wipes $2.99 got $1 ECB (not the best ever, but I have been using a lot of wipes- at another store, there were $0.50 peelies, but I found them after the fact, so missed out on that).
Crest Pro Health - $2.88 used $1 q & got $2 ECB = $0.12 MM
Mr Goodbar $0.89 (filler, plus it was supposed to put me at 10 hershey bars, but it did not count for some reason; I'll have to call CS, I guess)
Glade Sense $ Spray & 2 refills $12 Total - used $4 q & $1/2 refills; got $4 ECB's
Thermacare $2.49 got $2.49 ECB's
CVS cotton swabs $1.99 used $0.50 CVS q
2 Hand Soaps (lg 17 oz size) $1 ea
2 Sweet tarts (only 1 in pic) B1/G1 50% off- $0.89 & $0.44
used $21.87 in ECB's, got $12.49 back
OOP: $3.21 (sub-total on 2 orders combined was $1.19; rest was tax)
Saved: $29.37 ($21.87 in ECB's & $7.50 in MC/CVS q's)

CVS After Thanksgiving #2


This was done in 2 transactions- my mother-in-law talked me into the remote and the ear buds that I did not need "becasue they are free". I didn't want to have to pay for free things, so I bought everything else first and used ECB's for the electronics. Everthing was free after ECB, except the toothpaste, which I used a $1 coupon to get free.
Total OOP $19.09 with tax
Saved: $20.33, which includes ECB's I paid with

OOP: $3.55 (included $1.05 tax)
Saved: $14.99
