CVS ~ Today's Trip - $2.99 Out of Pocket, Saved $65.92!

Here's my CVS trip today! I went in with $20.00 in ECB from the last trip and paid $2.99 out of pocket for $68.28 in merchandise! This is a 95.62% savings!! I did it all in one transaction. 

Notice how the money I spent out of pocket and the money I had in Extra Care Bucks rolled back into Extra Bucks at the end of the trip? You either want to strive for absolutely no out of pocket, only spending ECB, like I did the last trip or you want to roll the money you spend into equal or more ECB for the next trip! 

• Beginning ECB: $20.00
• OOP this trip: $2.99
• Ending ECB: $22.99
