Saving 97.62% at CVS!

I began the week with a $7.99 ECB (Extra Care Buck).  Jes and I hit a CVS near her house earlier in the week for my first trip.

First Trip:
PaperMate Grip ball point pens, 8/pack, blue = $1.99
Bausch & Lomb ReNu Sensitive Contact Solution, 12 oz = $7.89

Subtotal = $9.88

Coupons used:
-$2 off ReNu products, 12 oz, SS 6/12
-$7.99 ECB from previous week

Total = -$.11 + tax ($.69)

ECBs generated:
$1.99 ECB from PaperMate Grip ball point pens
$6 ECB from ReNu Sensitive Contact Solution

Total cost of each item after coupons and corresponding ECBs:
PaperMate Grip ball point pens, 8/pack, blue = FREE
Bausch & Lomb ReNu Sensitive Contact Solution, 12 oz = $.11 profit


Second Trip:
Bengay Vanishing Scent Gel = $6.29
U by Kotex Liners = $3.49
Crest Pro Health Oral Rinse, 250 mL = $2.99

Subtotal = $12.77

Coupons Used:
-$5 off Bengay products, printable (limit reached)
-$1 off  Kotex U pantyliners, excl trial size, SS 7/24
-$6 ECB from ReNu Sensitive Contact Solution (first trip)

Total = $.77 + tax

ECBs generated:
$2 ECB from Bengay Vanishing Scent Gel
$2 ECB from U by Kotex Liners
$2 ECB fromCrest Pro Health Oral Rinse, 250 mL
$1 ECB from using my Green bag tag (on reusable shopping bag)

Total cost of each item after coupons and corresponding ECBs:
Bengay Vanishing Scent Gel = $.71 profit
U by Kotex Liners = $.49
Crest Pro Health Oral Rinse, 250 mL = $.99 or FREE when you factor in the $1 ECB from the Green bag tag usage

Began with $7.99 ECB
Out of pocket = $.66
Ended with $8.99 ECB
Retail value = $27.73
Saved 97.62% = WOOT!

Year to Date Savings = $702.46

P.S.  Kudos to the Kent State Graduate who assisted me with the math!  And you know who you are!
