Trip to the mall
Aeropostale Earrings 3pk $10.50 minus $10.00 off any purchase printable=$0.54. The young male cashier looked at the earrings, rang them in and then said, "yeah right on" as he scanned the coupon. I just smiled, and thought to myself, man when did I get so old?, I swear I was the only non-teen in the store.

After Aeropostale we headed to Godiva to snag a free piece of chocolate, gotta love that chocolate club! Probably my favorite key chain scan card.

2/4 CVS- Sauce, PB, and Body wash (strange combo, I know)

This morning's CVS trip resulted in...
Transaction One:
Bought:
1 Dove Men's bodywash $5.49
1 Colgate toothpaste reg $2.99

Coupons Used:
(1) $1.25 Dove coupon from 1/31 SS
(1) $1.00 Colgate coupon from 1/31 SS
$6.00 ECB

OOP=$0.82 ($0.59 was sales tax) for $8.55 worth of merchandise.
Got back $5.49 ECB and $2.00 ECB

I don't typically buy pasta sauce unless it's free because A- I make my own and it's much tastier and B- it's on my "never buy again" (you know, toothpaste, pasta sauce, cereal, the stuff that you can always get for free with the right combo of coupons) list. But I had some ECBs expiring this week, so figured I may as well spend them on something that will get ECBS back.

Transaction 2:

Bought:
3 Ragu Pasta Sauce on sale 3/$5
3 Skippy Peanut Butter on sale 3/$5

Coupons Used:
(1) $1.25/3 Ragu coupon from 1/31 SS
(1) $1.00/2 Skippy coupon from 1/31 SS
$7.49 ECBs

OOP=$0.23 for $19.48 worth of merchadise
Got back $3.00 ECB

Ran to CVS this morning to use up some ECBs that were expiring this week.

Paid with 16.00 in ECBS

OOP:$3.50 (1.54 was tax) for $20.30 worth of product, but actually I paid with a giftcard from my dad so OOP was $0.
