4-1 CVS: All this for 25-cents

Every quarter CVS awards its customers who are members of its rewards program, the CVS Extra Care Bucks (ECB) rewards program. Today I scanned my CVS card inside the store and received $5 in extra care bucks (ECBs) and $5.50 for the quarterly bonus. I combined that with a $2.95 ECB that I already had, found these items on 50% clearance, and paid 25-cents for everything (and that included tax).
