*I will be returning these powders for a refund of ~$5.40. I should have asked for a void, but the line was backed up and I planned on doing another 5 or 6 transactions while I was there. Sometimes you just suck it up and do the nice thing because you want a good working relationship with your CVS pros. The return will bring my OOP down to ~$1.27
**I wanted to break even with Extra Care Bucks here because I had remaining Extra Care Bucks associated with another CVS card. Otherwise I would have tried to keep the Extra Care Bucks coming as long as possible.

I don't think I totally understand these transactions, but if you got all that for around $13, that's completely amazing. Kudos to you!
You know...for somebody that is employed AND a full-time mommy, you sure do have an awful lot of time on your hands.
Glad to hear that you didn't get swept away with Ike.

Dude, I will MAKE time to get those deals! LOL! Charlie loves it. He gets such a kick out of the total out of pocket amount. And you should hear how the cashier says it, almost in a whisper so the other customers behind me won't hear what I paid for three bags worth of goods from a notoriously-expensive drug store.
Phew! I get such a rush from this game.
So, yeah, residual bands of Ike wind and rain were swirling about as I laid my coupons on the counter at CVS. We were lucky, again. But don't worry, we keep the hurricane game plan close by whenever the weather threatens.
Cheers!
