Thanksgiving Shopping Trip - CVS

All I can say about CVS is WOW! Tons and tons of freebies and moneymakers. I went to two different stores for this massive haul. The tax was terrible, but I had a HUGE amount of rewards leftover.

CVS total before coupons: $166.62 + tax = $181.14
My OOP: $18.54 + tax = $33.06, with $42.92 EBs remaining
Savings: $148.08, 82%

I had $13 in EBs to start with. I also used mom’s card (in addition to mine) to take advantage of some of the deals for her. I got overage on a couple of coupons. I told the cashier she might need to adjust them down, but the register accepted them without beeping so she left them as is.
