CVS trip - $1.35 out of pocket, $11.99 ECBs!

I wasn't planning on going to CVS today, but I checked my email and found a $4 off $20 coupon there that expired today.  So I hurriedly checked out the deals, made my plan, and ran over there!  Luckily, there's a CVS right outside my neighborhood.  Being a Walgreens customer for many years, I had never gone in there until I started doing coupons and deals.  Now it's a regular stop for me.

Here's what I got:
1 Bayer Contour monitor @ $14.99
1 Colgate Sensitive @ $3.99
1 Crest Pro Health rinse @ $3.99
Total before coupons:  $22.97

Coupons:
$4 off purchase of $20 or more from email
Up to $30 off Bayer Monitor from 10/25 Smartsource insert (rang up as $14.00 - see below)
$1 off Colgate Sensitive from April All You magazine
$2 off Crest rinse from 2/7 Procter & Gamble insert
Total after coupons =  $1.97

Paid with $1 ECB from previous trip
Total after ECBs =97¢
Tax = 38¢
Total out of pocket = $1.35

ECBs received:
$5 from Bayer monitor
$3.99 from Colgate
$2 from Crest
$1 from using my green bag tag four times
Total ECBs = $11.99

The Bayer monitor coupon should have been $14.99, not $14.  But the cashier and the manager had such a tough time ringing up that coupon that I let the mistake go.  First, they couldn't scan or type in the coupon, then the manager's keytag (needed to override the coupon amount) wouldn't scan properly.  I ended up waiting about ten minutes until they figured out the problem.  By then, I didn't want to correct them and go through the whole process again.  So, I could've saved the $1 ECB that I ended up spending.  Still, I think I did a great deal!
