CVS - Soy Joy Soy Joy SOY JOY (and Thermacare)

So I had a plan if I got a $5/$30 from the scanner, as I'd heard people were getting them. And then I got one - and the store was out of the diabetes monitors I needed to make it work. (I also could've done everything you see below as one big transaction, but I didn't want a $20 SoyJoy ECB so I didn't do it.)

Transaction 1:
10 Soy Joys - $10
1 double paper - $2.50
1 Thermacare wrap - $2.49

Used $2/$10 SoyJoy, $1/Thermacare, $10.98 in ECBs. Paid $1.09 (8 cents tax). Got back $10.49 in ECBs.

Transaction 2:
5 Soy Joys - $5
1 Thermacare wrap - $2.49

Used $1/$5 SoyJoy, $6.49 in ECBs. Paid 2 cents (tax) Got back $6.49 ECBs.

Transaction 3:
5 Soy Joys - $5
3 Powerades - $3.75

Used $1/$5 SoyJoy, 3 free Powerade coupons from My Coke Rewards. Paid 10 cents tax, got back $8 ECBs for the SoyJoys but not the $1 for the Powerades. (I was talking to a fellow CVS shopper and got distracted, will call CS on Monday.)

UPDATE: Called CS, my $1 ECB will print in 48 hours, I'm adding it to my running total now.

Then the other CVS shopper said she didn't like SoyJoy bars, so she gave me most of hers. ;)

Next up, grab two pints of free Starbucks ice cream from Publix (on sale for $1.90, $2 coupon in today's paper). Yay!

"Soy Joy Soy Joy SOY JOY (and Thermacare)" sounds like the start of a silly song. :-)

Did you not have any of the BOGO SoyJoy coupons? I had 6 but bought 34 more from a clipper who I already had store credit with (I used all 4 of my cards for this money-making deal).

Weird that your Powerade ECB didn't print but easily fixable. I did my first batch last weekend and will do the rest next weekend when my area gets a short ad yet again. *insert eyeroll here*

I had two $1/5 SoyJoy and one $2/10. I guess in retrospect more BOGOs would have earned me more ECBs, but I'm fine with how I did - especially with the amounts I needed to roll. :) (I had one BOGO that I tried to give the other mom, but she didn't need it.)
