CVS 2/12....Savings of....87%

Again, I did not have Haylee when I went to CVS and it was so nice to walk down aisles and look at clearance stuff. It is hard to say what my percentage saved was because I only had $5 ECB that I used and I used a gift card to pay anyways. That being said, I saved 100%! I will still do subtotal minus coupons and ECB Earned to see the percentage. Here is what I got:

I have tried to add up numbers two different ways and am getting two different things. My subtotal (after sales, before coupons and tax) was $98.46. I paid with $33.99 in MQs, $5 ECBs and $8 CVS Qs. I also earned $36.57 back in ECBs. So I spent $44.09 on my gift card, subtract what I earned in ECB ($31.57, $5 I originally had) I paid $12.52 for all of this stuff, which is a savings of 87%
