Not a bad day.  I was running out of time at CVS and failed to realize that I should have split that transaction into two smaller ones.  I had 2 $4 off $20 coupons that could have made those transactions even better.  Had I been able to use them, I could have saved one of my $4.00 ECBs for another day.  Oh well.  It was ECBs anyway not OOP money so I don't feel as bad.  Have fun shopping this week.  As always, if you have any Qs feel free to ask. TTFN!
