Target and CVS - Transformers toys!!

Today at lunch I ran to Target with a couple of my co-workers and fellow couponers.  We didn't find all the deals we were looking for, but I was able to grab a couple of Transformers toys for free!!  The toys are regularly $9.99!  :)  They will make great Christmas gifts.
Deal:
Transformers toy - $9.99
- $5/1 Target mobile coupon
- $5/1 Manufacturer coupon printed from Target.com
= FREE!!

I was able to get two because one of my co-workers let me use her mobile coupon for the second one.  So, thank you Kris!!  :)

Tonight I ran to CVS with my deal all worked up and ready to go, right before they closed....walked in the door at 9:45pm.  LOL.  Of course they were out of the Lipton tea, and I couldn't find the $.99 American Greetings cards.  I did however find a 1/2 transformer toy for $3.49 and one for $4.99.  :)  Here's what I got:
4 Pretzel M&Ms - 2.50 each ($10)
1 Sensodyne pro-namel - $4.49 (rang up regular price - $5.99)
1 Sensodyne iso-active - $5.99 (rang up regular price - $7.79)
1 Aquafresh Extreme Breath Pure Breath - $3.99
1 Transformer toy - $4.99
1 Transformer tor - $3.49

Coupons used:
4 - $1/1 Pretzel M&Ms
2 - $0.50/1 M&Ms CVS coupon from the red machine
1 - $1/1 Sensodyne pro-namel - printable
1 - $1/1 Sensodyne iso-active - printable
1 - $5/10 of GlaxoSmithKline products from Reinventing Beauty magazine from CVS
1 - $3/1 Aquafresh CVS coupon I received in the mail
1 - $5/purchase of $5.99 or more Transformers coupon

Total before coupons:  $36.25
Total after coupons: $16.25
ECBs used: $5, $5, and $1 ($11.00)
Total OOP: $5.37 (tax included)
Received $3 ECB (should have gotten a $5 one for the Sensodyne)

That's the good news....now the bad news...the Sensodyne toothpaste didn't ring up at the sale price, and I didn't get the $5 ECB for buying $10 worth of product.  :(  Also, I had another $1 off coupon for the Aquafresh to make it completely free, but the register wouldn't let it scan.  Really weird....whatever.  It was past closing time so I wasn't really concerned with it....I didn't realize the toothpaste had rung up wrong or that I didn't get my ECB until after I was locked out.  :(  I will be going back tomorrow to get the difference in the toothpaste back and the $1 coupon for the Aquafresh...which totals $4.30, and get my $5 ECB...so my actual OOP should have been $1.37.   Going to hit another CVS tomorrow and hopefully find the tea and greeting cards, and maybe some more transformers toys.  ;)
