| Getting the hang of it... Thanks to Mysterymaker for giving me the great idea  This is what I did yesterday: Colgate toothpaste: 2.50 Softsoap bodywash: 3.99 2 speed stick deodorants @ 1.99 each: 3.98 Garnier conditioner: 3.99 Boost smoothie: 1.00 2 Maybelline eyeshadows: 10.98 Total before coupons: $26.44 Coupons used: $4 off $20 CRT .75 off Colgate toothpaste .75 off Softsoap bodywash 1.00 off Garnier 1.00 off speedstick deodorant Total after coupons: $18.94 ECBs used: $18.94 OOP: tax only, $0.19!!!!! Earned $20.97 in ECBs, plus a $2/$10 CRT printed. Second transaction: 2 Nutra Trim weight loss gum: $7.98 1 Maybelline eyeshadow: $5.49 Total before coupons: $13.47 Coupons used: $2/$10 CRT Total after coupons: $11.47 Used $10.78 in ECBs OOP: $2.69 Earned $13.47 in ECBs, plus a $4/$20 CRT printed with the second transaction. Total OOP spent: $2.88 Total ECBs earned: $31.75 Yay!! This is my best shopping trip to date. As I was checking out, the cashier who was ringing me up was showing the other cashier how to do it, he was new, and she told him, "oh, you'll get used to people coming in and doing this, getting $80.00 worth of stuff for pennies." And I said, "well you know it's a lot of work to put together deals and get coupons and stuff" and she said, "oh I'm not hating, I do it too!"    |

| Great job! If my calculations are correct, they paid you almost $2.00 to take that stuff home (after the ECB and OOP you paid)! Love it when that happens! Now you have me looking forward to going back! I never made it back out yesterday, so maybe DH won't mind if I take a little trip tonight! |

| And you did it WITHOUT printables!!! Way to go!!! I think we were all getting spoiled with the $10/$50, $5/$30, $4/20 and $3/$15 ~ I get more satisfaction out of putting the deals together like this! Now you need to use your ECB's on a TMF rebate so you can cash out some and keep the others rolling! |

If you can, add more Boost smoothies to your order...my store only had 2 in the entire place, but you're allowed to buy up to 5 on each card for $1.00 a piece and get $1.00 ECB back for each one! |
