Life of a $35 Visa

I got my Visa card in the mail this week, so now I'm going to see how long it lasts. I'm going to use it at Walgreens and CVS because my out of pocket is always high at Rite Aid. I usually get things for free or make a profit at Rite Aid, but it's usually in the form of rebates.

I''m starting off with $5 in ECBs (CVS) & $15.50 in RRs (Wags)

Week #1 Wags
RRs used: $9
OOP (out of pocket) Visa: $1.72
RRs received: $2
Actual cost: $9.72 (3 laundry items)
Value of products $11.97

Week #1 CVS
ECBs used: none (total was $3.97 and I had a $5 ECB)
OOP Visa: $3.97
ECBs received: $5.50
Overage: $1.53
Value of products: $6.49

Amount left on Visa: $29.31
