9/27 CVS Run, Saved $138

I did several transactions yesterday at CVS. I had all my ECB expiring, so I had to put them to use! There were some great deals that I wanted to do. I needed the Bounce/Tide and am low on mascara. The other things were just thrown in there because they were good deals. I also bought 2 itmes which were not planned, but I was parched and saw a new Reinventing Beauty magazine.

I really thought I was going to spend like $1.50, but with the way CVS changed the ECB paying towards tax, it messed me up as I forgot. I have been to one CVS where the manager made it so it paid for tax, so I'm not sure how they can do that and why they don't! It's ok though, I saved alot and still used a gift card and have money left on it for next time.
