Early CVS Trip

I went to CVS on the first day of the new sale this week because I've been running into this problem where the things I want are sold out by Tuesday/Wednesday. I had heard that there was a 3-day sale again this week, but that is definitely not the case around here. My daily goal between CVS, Walgreens, and Target is usually about $20 - $30. Today, I spent about $12 at CVS and didn't get much, but I walked away with $10 in ECBs in the end - so for those of you that like to subtract that from the total (I don't because you can't literally spend it on the transaction it comes from), that means I spent $2. Here is the breakdown:

Bengay Pain Relief + Massage (Instead of Tylenol) - $5.99, $2.00 ECB

     -$2/1 Bengay Product (Coupon Exchange)

        = $3.99 OOP, $2.00 ECB

U by Kotex 18ct - $4.99, $4.99 ECB

     - $1/1 U by Kotex Printable

     - $2 ECB from previous transaction

        = $1.99 4.99 ECB

Photo Book $7.99, $7.99 ECB

     - $4.99 ECB from previous transaction

        = $3.00 OOP, $8 ECB

Aveeno - Spend $20, get $10 ECBs

(2) Aveeno Soothing Relief Moisture Cream $3.99

     Aveeno Positively Ageless Sunblock - $12.99   

     - (3) $2/1 Aveeno Positively Ageless Sunblock (Should have been $1 off, but the associate scanned my $2 coupon 3 times)

     - $8 ECB from previous transaction (should have been $7.99, but ended up being $8)

     - $4/20 Email sign up bonus from cvs.com/email

        = $2.97  OOP, $10 ECB for next trip!

This is also a scenario for beginners as I had no ECBs to begin with this time; I spent them all on my second CVS trip last week. However, not all of these coupons are printable and in fact, one of them came from a recent coupon exchange I had done - so you might not be able to find it at all right now. Good luck and feel free to share your experiences!
