Simply CVS: CVS Shopping Trip Week of 8/9/2015 ~ Saved $38+ or 94%

I had an unusual CVS rain check this week. A couple weeks ago there was an extra buck deal where you could earn $10 ECB's for buying five Speed Stick Gear Deodorants. I had five $2/1 printable coupons -- but they stated only four could be used in one day. I picked up the four that week shopping and thought I'd pick up the fifth at a different CVS later in the week. I tried two different CVS stores and neither had them so I got a rain check at the last one. I used the rain check and purchased the last one today and received the $10 extra bucks. Details of my costs are below.

Transaction #1:

Cash Paid: $ 1.75 (before tax)

Amount Saved: $ 20.21 or 92%
