CVS Trip: Saved 64%

Starting ECBs: $10.00
Total Merchandise Value: $38.87
Out-of-Pocket Cost: $13.87 plus tax
Ending ECBs: $4.00
Savings: $ $25.00 (64%)

I stopped at my local CVS today to do the deal that I tried to do Tuesday. I could have spent $8.87 out-of-pocket had the other store had the correct coupon usage information (You can read my CVS love-hate story HERE.), but I shouldn't complain about 64% savings (which could have been 77%... but I'm not bitter... really).
