Good luck to everyone!!!

[JaimeDae]

I hope I can get clear enough pics of the receipts, I've seen others do it, but I've never tried.

Excellent contest... gotta prep my trip this weekend.

ETA: Does the week starts on Sunday or Monday?

[Kmchamplin]

Since it starts today, it goes Friday to Thursday for one week and then it starts again on Friday.

You can do two entries per week...one for food and the other for drug store deals. Friday to Thursday ie...June 19 to June 25, June 26th to July 2nd, etc.

If you already did an entry for week one (June 19-25), you can not enter week #2 with a receipt that you did on June 25th.

weeks are as follows:

Week 1~ June 19th to June 25th
Week 2~ June 26th to July 2nd
Week 3~ July 3rd to July 9th
Week 4~ July 10th to July 19th (Yes this one has 9 days just gives you 2 extra days for savings

Such a shame I'm reading this now. I had to add a floral bouquet for an event tomorrow and a big $10 Olive Oil to my shopping order today to use my $10/$75 Q at the supermarket and did one big transaction to use that Q, but my total after that Q with all my other Qs was $31 on an $86 order. So because I threw the flowers & olive oil into the transaction, $20 of that $31, I killed my 80% ratio! Had I known, maybe I would have separated and did a different order for the contest. Oh well, that's what I get for reading details late, guess I'll have to do one next week. Great contest though!!!

Oh I know, but that was my trip for the week...LOL! I just did my Target run for the Pull-Ups the other day, my grocery stuff today. Guess I'll have to wait for my next good run.

It is a great contest, can't wait to enter.

I am so psyched that mods can participate! This will be so much fun!

So would target be considered food or drug store submission?

Good question, I was wondering that too. Also we can't use existing RR's right?

2. No (because this is something earned on previous shopping trip, due to previous savings, earnings)

I've noticed entries using RR's and ECB's. Can we use previous RR's and ECB's for to count as Q's now?

Quick question about this part: Is this for a single entry or a sum of all the entries for a person?

target is considered grocery just like walmart.

The CVS and Walgreens scenarios are confusing to me. I don't count my ECB until I spend them, but you need us to not count what we used but then we can throw back into the scenario what we gained. I hope that made sense and I am correct.

For ex I used $18 in ECB but I got back $33 so my oop would have been $18 but my ending total would have been -$15

Same way with RR?

Wow that was probably more confusing. but I need to know if I should submit that or something different.

[xboxundone]

as far as ECB and RR ones you Earned in the past DO NOT count. As we don't want to count Giftcards people have earned int he past for shopping either(or even got as a gift)

We do this to level the playing field incase people have stocked up on RR and ECB's.

IF you EARN ECB on your TRIP that counts as money off:

NOTE this is a made up scenario:

CVS:
4 aveeno s at $5 = 20 for you purchase you get $5 ECB
Plus you have 4 $2 Aveeno coupons

So your end total for the contest would be
20 - 5 (ECB) - 8 (coupons) = 7

While this scenario wouldn't qualify as it doesn't meet the 80% it serves as a good example.

IF you USE $6 ECB you had earned in the past on this making it $1 total it wouldn't count for the purpose of the contest.

Right for the contest your 18 ECB you had in advance wouldn't count.
