CVS on Saturday at Overlapping Sales Store

The CVS where I like to shop(no mean old grumpy cashier! one),begins the new week's sale on Saturday. So if I go on Sat., I can do both this week's sale and the sale that is suppose to start on Sunday. This is a great thing usually, because it means I only have to make 1 trip to CVS every 2 Weeks and not miss a week's sale. Saves time, and gas money plus wear & tear on the car and the planet.
This week however, it caused a complication in my transaction.

I had $20 in Extra Care Bucks to roll, so here is what I picked up....

6x Vitamin Water @3/$4=$8
10x SoyJoy Bars @10/$5=$5

2x Colgate Max Toothpaste @$2.99=$5.98

2x Bayer Contour Meters @$14.99=$29.98

3x 12-pack Cokes @3/$12 **=$9.75 NOT PICTURED

**Ok, this was a problem having overlapping sales. The Cokes were suppose to be 3/$12 and buy $20 worth, get $10ECBs. But the sale that started on Sunday had buy 4 Coke 12 packs, get 1 Free(or $3.25 ea.). Asked before I checked out which sale would ring up and nobody knew.

Subtotal-$58.71
Tax-$.00

Coupons Used....

6x Vitamin Water @$.50=$3.00

2x SoyJoy Bars @$1.00=$2.00
2x Colgate Max Toothpaste @$1.00=$2.00
1x Bayer Contour Meter @$30.00=$29.98(adjusted down to price of 2 Meters)
3x 12-pack Cokes @$1.00=$3.00

Coupon Total- $39.98

$58.71-$39.98=$18.73

Used $10 ECB

OOP=$8.73

I had planned to get Mini Wheats Cereal too so I could use the other $10ECB I had and lower my OOP, but they were out of cereal. Dang it!

The $4 Colgate ECB(2x$2) & $10 Bayer Meter ECB(2x$5) printed but the Coke $10ECB didn't print, because the lower price on the Cokes left me $2.25 short of spending $20 on Coke products.

So I went back in and explained to the Manager what happened and asked if I could buy 1 more Coke 12 pack and get the Free 5th one. He said ok so I bought....

1x Coke 12 pack @$3.25

Bottle of Aspirin $1.99 (for the doggy-she hurt her back)
