CVS Trip 12/24/11 Spent ONLY $2.66 & Saved $37.60! 93% Savings!

Wondering how I get my Percentage Saved? I use the following equation:

Total Savings / (Total Spent + Total Savings) = % Saved

I had a great trip to CVS! I needed batteries for my baby girl's birthday present. Don't you know that nothing comes with batteries anymore...lol!! Anyway...I had $5.50 in ECB's (my quarterly Extra Bucks that I had not used yet.) So, I put them to good use!  

Here's what all I got:

I did 2 transactions so that I could use my ECB's from my 1st transaction to pay for my second transaction!

1st transaction:
(1) Gold Emblem Candy Corn $.99, get $.99 ECB's

-Used (2) $2 off 2 MQ (check southernsavers.com for the location!)


-USED $5.50 ECB's
-Scanned my green bag tag (Every 4th visit, get $1 ECB!)
