You expert CVSers, please tell me if there's a better way to work this. My concern is ending up with only $1 ECB. (However, I have high hopes for the upcoming J&J sale, so this may not be an issue.)

Txn #1:
Post Cereal 3/$10
-$2/1
-$2/1
-$1/1
- $4ECB= $1.00 OOP receive $5ECB

Txn #2:
(1) Febreze Noticeable 6.50
(1) Febreze Fabric Refresher 5.00
(2) Febreze Air Effects 6.00
- $4/1
- .50/1
- .50/1
- Free Air Effects w/purchase of Fabric Refresher
- $5 ECB= $4.50 OOP receive $5ECB

Txn #3:
Olay Body Wash 2/$12
-$1/1
-$2/1
-$5ECB= $4.00 OOP receive $5ECB

Txn #4:
Dove shampoo and conditioner BOGO
(2) Dove deodorant
(1) Dove Body Mist
Dawn 2/$2
- $1/1
-$1.50/2
- Free Body Mist when buying deodorant
- $5 ECB= 2.32 OOP receive $1ECB

So total OOP would be $11.82, starting with $4ECB, ending with $1 ECB. Anybody have a better scenario for me? TIA!!

I am new at this so maybe someone else can offer better suggestions.

In transaction 1, why is one coupon only worth $1? I was able to print out 3 $2 IPs for the cereal. So if you do that you will have no OOP for that transaction when you use the $4 ECB.

In transaction 2, why did you want to buy the second Air effect? The noticeable is $6.50 + fabric refreshner $5 + air effect $3= $14.50, so you would have enough for the $5 ECB plus $4.50 toward your next Febreze transaction. If you don't buy the second air effect you would save $3 OOP and still end up with $5 ECB.

Thanks!! On Txn #1, two of my coupons are for the Trail Mix Crunch, one is for Shredded Wheat for my DH. On Txn #2, the second Air Effects is free bec I have a coupon for buy a Fabric Refresher, get an Air Effects free.

Do you have any coupons for the Bayer Glucose Monitors? With a limit of 4 meters you could add them to your transactions and end with $21 in ECB's. Changes in red.

Txn #1:
Post Cereal 3/$10
(2) Breeze 2 or Contour Meter $39.98
-$2/1
-$2/1
-$2/1 (buying another Trail Mix)
-$39.98 Glucose Meters
- $4ECB= $0 OOP receive $15ECB

Txn #2:
(1) Febreze Noticeable 6.50
(1) Febreze Fabric Refresher 5.00
(1) Febreze Air Effects 3.00
(2) Breeze 2 or Contour Meter $39.98
- $4/1
- .50/1
- Free Air Effects w/purchase of Fabric Refresher
-$39.98 Glucose Meters
- $5 ECB= $2.00 OOP receive $15 ECB

Txn #3:
Olay Body Wash 2/$12
Filler $1
-$1/1
-$2/1
-$10ECB= $0 OOP receive $5ECB

Txn #4:
Dove shampoo and conditioner BOGO
(2) Dove deodorant
(1) Dove Body Mist
Dawn 2/$2
- $1/1
-$1.50/2
- Free Body Mist when buying deodorant
- $5 ECB= 2.32 OOP receive $1ECB

So total instead of OOP being $11.82, starting with $4ECB, ending with $1 ECB, I think this would make your OOP $4.32, ending with $21 ECB's.

Somebody correct me if I am wrong.

Ah, okay. On Trans 2 you can just get one air effect though. The free one will still count toward your Febreze total for the ECB.

No to the Bayer monitors- that would have been good though!!!

I also have a coupon for 50/1 Air Effects, so I was going to buy one with the coupon, and get the other free.
