I went to CVS this morning and did 2 transactions. My out of pocket is much higher than normal because one of my family members had asked me to buy some Maalox! Luckily I had a coupon for it so it didn't hurt that bad! I also needed Tylenol and had a coupons for $3 off when you spend $15 on FSA eligible items.

Transaction 1

I bought 2 and used 2 coupons

After my 3 coupons, I used $5.99 in ECB's from previous weeks and paid $.68 out of pocket. I got $4 in ECB's.

Transaction 2
