Remember, we can't double or triple anything in Florida!

If it is a coupon yes.

Hmmmm. They call it a "Savings Certificate".

It reads "This 10% Savings Certificate is nontransferable and has no cash value. Use it as many times as you want (before it expires) on the day of your choice."

That is correct EXCEPT the $9 ECB doesn't count on your total since you had those already BUT the $5 ECB does count off your total.

Ok: so corrected it should read:

CVS
(6)Always Infinity Pads (lg box!) 4.99
(1) Physcian's Formula Eye Shadow 10.99
Total: 40.93 (before taxes)
Qs:
(6) $4/1 Always Infinity
(1) $5/1 Physicians Formula
Total: $11.93 (without tax)
Used: $9 ECB
Total: 2.93 + .25 tax = 3.18 OOP (on gift card)
Received: $5 ECB

Total #s since ECBs USED don't count:
Spent: 11.93 (then take off the $5 I received in the transaction for Physicians Formula) 6.93
Saved: 72.80
Savings: 91%

Right?

OOP = any ECB or RR used + tender paid - any ECB or RR recieved

Make sense?

[xboxundone]

correct!

No it isn't correct. You can NOT count the $9 ECB that you used as it was previously earned. Your final total for all of that would be $15.93 as you used the $9 ECB and only got back $5...adding another $4 to your total. Sorry.

her total is correct.

(6)Always Infinity Pads (lg box!) 4.99
(1) Physcian's Formula Eye Shadow 10.99
Total: 40.93 (before taxes)
Qs:
(6) $4/1 Always Infinity = 24
(1) $5/1 Physicians Formula = 5
40.93 - 29 = 11.93
Total: $11.93 (without tax)
Received: $5 ECB

Total #s since ECBs USED don't count:
Spent: 11.93 (then take off the $5 I received in the transaction for Physicians Formula) 6.93
so final total is 6.93

I stand corrected...I didn't read it 100% correctly.

I'm a newbie and the only thing I now would like to know is how you guys attach those thumbnail pics? I have no clue, but I do have a cheapo digital camera.
Can anyone please explain to me how to attach thumbnail pics?

Also I would like to say that I find this contest really and I love all the entries.

I upload my pics to Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket then when it's done it has options for sharing on messageboards w/ either full size pics or thumb nails. You take the link it gives you to share and cut and paste it into your message. HTH's.

Thank you, JaimeDae, I will have to try that. And yes, it helps

[nicE2save]

**** This is a test to post a picture here **** Entry to follow****
Still have no clue how to get it as a thumbnail not to mention how to get an acceptable quality. Please help. I didn't see anything on photobucket about "thumbnail" as a selection.
I think I will write up my entry first with the images to follow.

[jrits]

When you see the pic on photobucket, there are 4 links choices on the left - copy the last one

[nicE2save]

***testing **** Okay, it's not a thumbnail, I can live with that Happy there's an image at all.
What am I doing wrong as far as the image quality?
I set my 3.2 mega pixel Polaroid camera to "still image" and 1600x1200 resolution. What settings should I choose on photobucket when I get the picture from my PC?





This is a test picture from my iPhone, I might go that route instead of the digital camera. Quality is so much better, even if the size is kind of large.

Big thanks to anyone who has tried to help me, especially the tip on photobucket. I have never "published" any images before. Normally I take all of my pics with the iPhone anyhow. For some reason I thought using the digital camera would be better to take a still photo of the receipts, but that didn't work for me.

[JaimeDae]

I've never had to change the image on anything. Photobucket seemed to automatically adjust for me.

1 Venus Power Razor (Clearanced for $3, not in picture)

Total before coupons and discounts: $146.49

Total after Sales/Coupons/Discounts: $-1.54
Tax:$1.93

Total OOP: $0.39!!!!

I also received $19 in ECBs

So, my savings was over 100% PLUS I made a profit of $19!!!

What were the $20 CVS coupon and the other "CVS coupons"?
Where these extrabucks from previous deals?

[jbarber8]

To post images, I shrink & crop the images first using MS Office Picture Manager to about 15% of original size, then use Tinypic.com to load them, must be similar to PhotoBucket. I copy the second line that says it is for message boards.

Will scanning a receipt work? I'm not sure a photo would be clear or big enough.

$24.98 ECBs were used
The others were CRT's and x/xx coupons.

I earded $19 in ECBs from that transaction

[w1df10wr]

Question regarding Giant Eagle. Right now they have a few promotions that you can only sign up for by email...

$2 off & $5 off ($15 total, its in 3 increments). They show on the receipt as a "value off", listed under store coupon. Would those be allowed for total or not?

What if I do several transactions and roll my ECBs? I cant take a pic of them because I have spent them on my next transaction?

[JaimeDae]

I see people entering week 2 entries. I thought week 2 starts tomorrow? Also I think some entries are basing savings on original prices, not sale prices. Can we do that? That would be great. Thanks!
