I'm trying to plan my trip...
I always end up getting a higher total than i figured and I'd like to get as close as possible. Can you help me do the math?

2 Gillette shampoos 2x $4.49 (2 Free q's)
Softsoap $4.99 (Free after ECB)
2 Colgate toothbrushes (Free after ECB)
3 Nivea Body wash $15 ($5 ECB)
Airwick ultra starter kit $4.99
2-Airwick luminars $4.99 x2
2 kellogg's cereal $4
Natural Dentist $6.99 x2
vitamin water $1
3 garnier frutics shampoos $10
1 garnier towelettes $5 ($5 ECB from shampoo and towelettes)
2 caress body wash @ $5.79 (not sure on the price) $3 ECB April monthly deal
I'm coming up with a total of $93.52
pa sales tax is 6% making it $99.13 By now I may have to grab up some register candy to keep the kiddos happy anyway so if I need a filler that's fine!
I'm using these q's

20/100
2 free shampoos $8.98
$1 soft soap
$1 colgate toothbrushes
$4 nivea
$1 cvs nivea
$4 $3x2 air wick
$4 natural dentist
$1 vitamin water
$2 kellogg's cereal
$4 garnier
$2 caress
$13.49 ECB
Total $72.47 in q's

My total should be somewhere in the $25 neighborhood
and then I should get something like $37 in ECB
Am I right?

I have never tried anything this big. Will it work?


Here's the deal...you do the math for me and the first person to get it right gets a coupon raok from me! I'll check when I get back from my trip tomorrow.

If your strore carries Natural Dentisit I added 6.99x2 for your total, when I pull it up it says online only. so with it added here is what I got.

Total b/f Tax= $93.58
You need filler of $ 6.42(if you have more vit.Water Q's add 4 more)
This will bring your Total b/f Tax to $100.34

100.34
-20.00 crt
-8.98 gillette
-1.00 soft soap
-4.00 air wick
-6.00 air wick items 3.00x2
-1.00 Colgate TB
-4.00 Nivia
-1.00 cvs Nivia
-4.00 Natural Dentisit
-1.00 V.Water(if you have 4 other Q's Opp will change to(
-2.00 Kelloggs
-4.00 Garnier
-2.00 Caress
TOTAL Q'S= $58.98
Sub total
100.34-58.98= 41.36-13.49ecb= $27.87
27.87+6%= 29.54 OOP
ECB's BACK
4.99+3.00+7.98+5.00+5.00= 25.97

IDK just thought it would be fun to do this.

if i'm correct i only need a filler of $1 or 2 because i can use the 20/100 if the total including tax is $100. right?

[happyhousewife]

hey, savvy! I'm back and you were pretty close right! I needed a $5 filler. (I did the 4 2-liter pepsi deal get a sierra mist free because I had a $2 pepsi coupon. I had no more vitamin waters. ) They were all out of natural dentist stuff so I had to subsitute. I bought 1 more Nivea body wash, some clearanced candy for mother's day and the carnation breakfast. I had a raincheck making the carnation breakfast free! In all I spent $34 OOP and got $33.97 ECB back! Not as good as I was hoping but still I'm happy. The natural dentist stuff would have still given me $10 back from a MIR. Pm me your address savvy and I'll get a raok to you!

Im so glad it worked out for you. I guess I did come pretty close. to answer your question in order to use your ECB's your sub-total must hit that amount. So dont look at the debt/credit machine becasuse that has it with tax. You need to tell them your using ECB so you need to make sure you hit 100.00 or which ever one you have. Hope that helps.
