CVS - April 4, 2011

I realized later that my out of pocket (OOP) total should have been $3 lower had the clerk not missed one of my coupons (have to beware of cashiers getting confusing and losing their place with so many coupons to scan). I could have gone back, but it's often very difficult to prove your case once your coupons have been thrown into the register drawer with all of the rest. Oh well. Live and learn. In the meantime, I still saved nearly 87%
