Planning on doing this scenario this morning. Does it look OK to you?

(4) All Laundry Detergent, 2/$7
(2) Curel (2 for $5.98)
(1) Arm & Hammer Spinbrush $5.99
(1) Buy (1) Arm & Hammer Spinbrush heads $5.99

- &6 off $30 CVS coupon (sent to card)
- (2) $2/1 Arm & Hammer coupon
- $2/1 Curel
- (2) $2/2 All Laundry
use $9 EB

Total OOP: $6.96 get back 17 EB ($10 MM)

Looks fine, I think. I personally wouldn't perceive the scenario as a $10 MM however.
When I'm spending Ecbs & cash OOP, I see that as my total OOP expense.
I would see it as a $1 MM which is really awesome for the useful things /household staples you're getting.

that makes sense cause EBs ARE the cash in my pocket. Didn't think of it that way. But its still $1 MM which is not too bad for a beginner couponer Trying to build my stockpile, only been doing it for 3 weeks

It is absolutely a good job at a $1 MMer, beginning couponer or pro. It is just important, especially in the beginning, to have a real sense of savings. We sometimes see beginners get discouraged when the MMers that they think they are getting are less so. If you start off with a more accurate sense of savings, then you are more likely to stick with it.

All that aside, there are many ways to calculate your savings. We all have our own take on it but the most popular way is probably looking at how much your total spending power increases or decreases. Great job!

I only see 15ECB coming back?

2 for All (limit is (2) 1ECB)
5 for Curel
8 for Arm and Hammer (limit (2) 4ECB)

Still an awesome deal!

Never mind! I just saw the limit is higher for the ALL than what is stated in the ad.
