CVS May 24, 2010 trip- $0.38 cost


***This week is a great example of how you can use your "overage" to buy items you need.  We always can use cereal and we needed tissues this week.  Since the body wash created $4 in profits (cost of $4 but ECB earned of $8) I applied that overage towards the items I needed and got them basically for FREE!!***
