CVS Trip 1/29/2012

Here is the a scenario you could do with multiple transactions.  I did this all in one transaction because after picking up a prescription at the pharmacy I received a $10 off $50 CVS coupon on my cash register receipt.  If you don't have the coupon you can split the products into multiple transactions as described below.

Transaction 1

(I purchased more expensive cards they were ($0.99, $1.99, and $3.49= $6.47 total)

Total Before Coupons $3.84  
Coupons Used
Buy 2 Get 1 free American Greetings Card printable coupon $0.99 (If you buy more expensive cards you may receive a higher coupon value I received $3.49 for the coupon, I guess it depends on the cashier the ones at my CVS are great.)
