Day Eight - Trip One

While getting only free stuff is fun, I do *need* things sometimes, and I'd always rather lose some ECBs if it means not spending actual cash. That said, I tried with the deal below to minimize my loss...

Bought:
1 CVS spray sunblock - $4.99
1 small tube CVS sunblock - $1.09 (Buy one, get one 50% off)
3 of the CVS Claritin knock-offs that are free this month - $3.79 each

Used $2/$10 CVS purchase, $5.49 ECBs, $9.38 ECBs

Paid 62 cents (4 cents tax). Got back $11.37 (Loss of $3.50 ECBs)

No picture yet.
