CVS

There are (4) double packs of papers pictured here, but I actually only bought one of them at CVS w/ ECBs. The rest I bought at Walgreens w/ cash. This is because I missed the Dollar Paper Sellers, and the next CVS I stopped at only had one bundle pack. So since my regular Wags still rings up the paper at $2.50, rather than the $3.00 it says, I hoped this other Wags would, too. They actually rang up $2.38, so even better.

My first CVS shop went well. I got:

The next CVS shop I messed up. I had the Pampers on my mind; the limit being 2, or 3, but I was buying one at a time....For some reason it didn't occur to me that I couldn't keep buying Crest and Colgate on the same card. Duhhhh!

I had written down what I was buying as I went, noting what ECBs I should be getting...well then I found the Ban deodorants non-advertised clearance for $1.75. They get a $2.00 ECB this week, but I didn't write it down for some reason. So when I got my receipt and scanned over it, I only noticed the $3.99 Colgate ECB missing. I said that I should have gotten it, and the Store Manager printed me out one manually. Later on I was looking again, and noticed the $2.00 one I thought had been for the Crest was really for the Ban, and it dawned on me why I hadn't gotten the Crest or Colgate ECBs, because I had already done my limit on those in the first shop.

Then I did two more Ban transactions at the same store, different cards. Rumor was the Ban limit is (2), but I didn't want to risk it. I can confirm it's at least (2).
