The first transactions was a rain check item (not usual) for blink tears. Sale priced $7.99 get back $7.99 in ecbs.
When I was shopping I saw it had a $4 off coupon attached to it SCORE!

 Used the $4 off coupon and my $1.99 in ecbs
My total was $2.00 (for some reason no tax idk why)
Got back $8 ecb (Cashier gave me $8 instead of $7.99)

I think that's a savings of 85% (please correct me if I'm wrong)
