Small Purchases

I didn't take a picture, but it was a great trip anyway! I had in mind to get some pumpkin carvings knives and mascara. I don't like paying $7 for mascara. It lasts me, but still, $7!! I know how far I can stretch $7 now, so it kills me to pay more than I have to. I started my CVS trip with a $5 ECB and a $2.50 ECB. So, here's how it went.

First: I purchased 1 Halloween candy bag ($.99)
1 Pumpkin Carving Knife ($1.99)

I Used: $2.50 in ECB

Total: $.52 (incl. tax)
I got: ECBs for $1.99 and $.99

I purchased: 1 box of Kashi ($3), 2 Revon Mascaras (B1G1, $7.49), 1 pumpkin carving knife ($1.99, get $1.99 in ECBs). I used $6 in manufacturer coupons, $7.98 in ECB's
Total: $.25

I then got $1.99 in ECBs and I got CVS bucks for $2.00 off Pullups, which were on sale, so I bought a package of Pull Ups for $5.01.

So, I could've left CVS for under $1 OOP, but I wanted to get a deal on Pull-ups. Sometimes the small transactions are the most satisfying.
