CVS - Moneymaking monitor and free razor

I messed up my math, resulting in a higher OOP than I really would've liked, but on the other hand I made a nice profit today.

First transaction:

1 Contour monitor - $14.99
1 double Sunday paper - $2.50
1 travel pack of tissues - 50 cents

Used $14.99 coupon (it beeped, needed a manager override, that took a bit of extra time since the manager was wandering around), $3 ECBs. Paid zero OOP, got back $5 ECBs. Yay.

Second transaction:

2 bottles of Dawn - $2 (in my head this was $1 total, I wasn't thinking about the fact that I'd get the other $1 *back* in ECBs later and this actually goes against my whole thing about low OOP - sure I got the $1 OOP back in Extrabucks, but I had to spend money to make money, which I hate, and I actually had ECBs in an amount that would've made my OOP far lower)
1 Gillette Fusion razor - $7.99

Used 25 cent Dawn coupon from today's paper, 50 cent Dawn coupon from some P&G thing I got in the mail, $4 Gillette coupon from today's paper, $3.99 ECBs. Paid $1.67 OOP (42 cents tax) - that extra dollar there that I didn't count on, sigh. Got back $5 ECBs.
