Four Dollars, Folks!

I'm sorry to be turning this blog into a savings blog, but that's about all I have time for right now.  I'm going to try to be intentional about getting my camera out and pointed at my babies this week, so I can post more than my sweet savings at the pharmacy stores! :) On to the point of this post . . .

Here were my scenarios (and if anybody knows how to get columns to appear straight, please enlighten me. I can't figure it out, and it drives me crazy!!!):

To start, I had $26.78 in ECB's for CVS from last week's trip, and $22.00 in +UP Rewards for Rite-Aid from last weeks trip.
CVS Trip:

Also used $14.98 in ECB's (Extra Care Bucks). So, the $17.99 in coupons, plus the $14.98 in ECB's, brought my total down to $1.26, plus tax, totalling $3.01!

***I also got $15.00 back in ECB's ($5 for Oral-B TB's, $5 for Pantene, and $5 Therma Care), replacing the ECB's that I used in the transaction!
