**after this deal I walked to the side and checked out my receipt & sales paper. That's when I discovered I'd bought the PHANTOM razor instead of the PHENOM (thanks to DS again!!) so no ECBs. They didn't have any more of the phenom, so I returned the one I bought. Cashier couldn't get it back on my GC for some reason, so I got back 12.83 cash.

Trip breakdown:
Paid out 14.05 from GC
Paid out 25.98 in ECBs

Earned 27.98 in ECBs
Cash back: 12.83

Pretty good trip then, I guess. After everything was said and done, looks like I made about .78 on the deals!

DISCLAIMER: I did not buy the wrong razor on purpose, not did I seek out the cash. Actually when the cashier first asked if I just wanted the cash, I said no, put on the GC since that's how I paid. He couldn't figure out how to make it go back on since I paid out 8.08 and the return was 12.83, so he decided to give back cash. This is not something I would do with the intent of making a profit.

I also bought the wrong razor last night. I was afraid I had reached my limit when it didn't print, but when I got home I realized it was the wrong one. I had DH return it this morning when he went to buy eggs. He left the receipt at home so he got a gift card for full price (I had used a $2.00 coupon plus x/xx coupon). I would have returned it with the receipt, but I will be honest and say I was happy for the free eggs since that was about the coupon cost

Kristi...sounds like you had a good trip. We all have picked up the wrong item at once time or another.

Yes we have! I have done that on more than one occasion.

Im the same way - If I take my 2 boys with me (or even 1) I get all confused and ancy and cant think at all! ..

Yes Def. way better to go witout Kids. Mine is usually good but I get too confused trying to go through my coupons and figure stuff out. That is why I always try to go during my lunch. Oh 12:00 I better do my lunch CVS run
