newbie one good trip one bad

did a cvs trip last night and did awesome!! paid .38 out of pocket and received 6 ECB for
2 box kotex
4 johnson's buddies
2 cvs wipes (used 2 of those skin care coups)
1 clean & clean
2 vive
2 trident
2 veet

yeah me!!! i was feeling confident and went today- not so good paid $10 oop but did get $5 ECB

Got the B1G1 free All - plus 2 $1 coupons
2 clean and clear soft $3/2
2 vive
cvs wips
cvs makeup pads

i knew i would be a little higher because of the All and my clean and clean was 5.99 but i ran into two problems. THe cashier wouldn't take the second $2 coup for cvs brand (ok- i know that varies by cashier/store)and she also only put 3.49 in for the vive (instead of 4.49)

over all though not bad for my second week of CVSing!!! I tihnk my problem is that i need to plan better before i go in the store. I seem to do a lot of mental math in the store. ......

What Qs did you use for your first transaction??

I've found that it does help a ton to have it all planned out ahead of time. Less likely for "impluse" buys too.

The first day was broken into a few transactions. I'll have to exactly break it down which ecb i used each transaction when i get home but

I had two .75 coups and two $1 coups for the kotex - cost 7.5
i had 4 johnsons coups - free
2 cvs skin care coups - free (plus overage of .30 for each)
$2 off 1 C&C coup (from previous purchase) - ended up costing .99
B1G1 vive - free
B1G1 trident - free
veet was on sale for 5.49 and 4.99 - I had 2 $2 coups - cost about 6.5

I also had $12 ECB already (one $5 and multiple 1's)and used the $3.00 from the kotex to help get the veet

i had purchased some c&C earlier so i did get the 5ECB on my second transaction plus the 1 from the gum
