Why do you make your purchases in several transactions?
By doing multiple transactions, I am better able to use my ECBs. I use the ECBs earned in one transaction to pay for the next. This allows me to reduce the OOP.
Do you make several transactions in one visit? I mean do you pay and then turn around and get more stuff and pay again? Also what is OOP? I'm still learning the ropes.

I generally do them all on the same visit.
Usually I get all the items in my basket and then just place my orders on the counter one at a time. If there is a line, I will do one transaction, move to the end of the line, etc.
Sometimes, I do one transaction and then based on coupons generated at the register, go back and get more.
OOP is Out of Pocket
CRT is the coupon that prints on your receipt.
Thanks for visiting my blog.
I totally missed out on the Sauve deal last week, bummer. I live 9 miles from cvs and had no reason to go by the time I heard of the deal. Win some lose some, I have to keep telling my self!
