Everything went pretty well today.
I actually handed in my ECB's in the wrong order so I spent more out of pocket than I wanted. The problem is that
a) I handed over all my ECB's at once instead of one at a time like I usually do
b) I changed my transaction b/c I learned that you can only do the get $1 ECB for $1 of CVS pads purchase once in a transaction.
If I were a shopping genius I would have just picked up a candy bar at the front and then my pre-tax amount would have been high enough to use my ECB on--but I'm no genius! Gah!

Total I should have spent out of pocket: $1.43
Total I actually spent out of pocket: $6.43

What is hysterical to me (and I do the same thing as you when I 'accidentally' spend too much OOP) is that, when you think about it--just ONE year ago, you would have paid more than that (CVS) JUST FOR THE CONTACT SOLUTION ALONE, and there would have been 'nothing you could have done about it'.
ReplyDeleteNow, we're bummed when we spend $6!! Isn't that funny/crazy/unreal??
That should perk you up a bit! It always does me!!
