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! |

!!! This was my first big moneymaker trip so it was very exciting hehe. Your DH shouldn't mind you shopping if you get free stuff! :p My DH is getting all into CVS...he'll walk with me around the store and help me find deals, and he always is impressed when I MAKE money ![]() |

| 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! |

| Go ahead, I "borrowed" and modified my plan from Mysterymaker ![]() 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! ![]() |
