Awesome 7/7/13 CVS Trip $13.55 Money maker (plus $8 bonus)!!

Today I had great luck at CVS and made $13.55 off my own skills and $8 because I had a little glitch....more about that later.Here's how it went down:

subtotal $0.00

total $3.45...just tax!

Ok here is where things went a little off. The only ECB that printed was a $5 and a $3 and neither said what they were for. I was expecting a $10 for P&G and a $7 for Tena, so I told the clerks in the store. At first, one tried to tell me that it was because I used coupons. I very politely said that it goes off the before coupon price, and that is how I get all my ECB's. I said I could call customer service but I would rather just get it taken care of now. She quickly changed her tune and immediately force printed the $10 and $7 ECB's. I told her I am an honest person and do not want anything I am not supposed to have and asked here if she wanted to keep the $5 and $3 ECB and she said that I should keep them since they printed out for me and they are mine. So, I ended up with not just $17 ECB, but $25 worth. When I got home and looked at my receipt more thoroughly, I saw that my receipts says this:  "Tide-Earn up to 10EB Amount toward this reward 29.94 Spend .06 more, Get 5.00 ExtraBucks" I feel bad now but I have decided that I will not go back to get another .06 to get the ECB because that would not be right, and I also haven't *quite* made up my mind about the extra $8 in ECB yet either.

Bottom line:  Spent $3.45 (tax) and received $25.00 ECB so thats a $21.55 Money Maker!!
