Disaster Adverted!

Man that was a stressful trip to CVS this Sunday morning but it didn't start that way. My shopping was going great, got all the items that i needed & the shelves were stocked. I didn't get the 2/$4.00 Q-tips cause i couldn't find them. I swear i walked entire store like 5 times. The only ones i found were the CVS brand, but those were not the sale ones. So i decided to nix that item. Below is my shopping trip.

2 - Head & Shoulders 2-n-1
2 - Axe Deodorants
1 - Hershey's Air Delight (only cause i got a free coupon from the coupon machine)
1 - Always Infinity panti-liners
1 - Pepto-Bismol
4 - Pringles grab & go
2 - Oral-B Crossaction toothbrushes
2 - Oral-B Pulsar 3D White toothbrushes

Total Retail price - $57.73

Total price after sale's, coupons & ECB's from previous trip - $6.70 plus $14.00 in ECB's earned on this trip.

So this trip was a $7.30 money maker when you factor the price of the ECB's earned minus my total cost.

Now you may be wondering why this trip was almost a disaster. After i paid i only got back $8.00 in ECB's. Now i though to myself that this was not right, so i went and sat in the car and went back over the receipt. Low and behold there was a major mistake. Well when the cashier rung up the toothbrushes she scanned the Crossaction's 4 times since the price was the same for the Pulsars. Because of this i didn't get the $6.00 in ECB's for the Pulsars initially so i went back in with sales ad in hand. While i was waiting in line i was looking thru the add and it did show the Pulsars deal but it didn't show show the 3D white one so i went back to the isle to double check and that style was included.. So its my turn and  i explained to the lady what had happened. She was trying to do the refund to credit the ECB's i didn't get but she was having trouble. So the manager came over and tried to help but he was having issues as well.. He then politely explained to the cashier that she needs to make sure to scan each item individually to prevent this issue in the future.. He took be to a different register because there was a line building. I apologized to those behind me and they nicely responded that it was no problem. So after a few mins and the manager going back to the isle to double check, he handed over my $6.00 ECB's. YAY!.. but for some reason i was still $2.00 ECB's short. While i was still in the car going over the receipt again i saw that i didnt get the $2.00 ECB's for the pepto. I looked at my spreadsheet and saw that the deal was for the 12-16oz bottle and i mistakenly got the 8oz. So that was half my fault and half CVS because the sales tag was placed under the 8oz bottle.. But i wasn't gonna worry about that because i still got a damn good deal today.

Happy Savings & Happy 4th of July!
