Ok, I'm starting with a $2 RR from the Special K deal, and a $3.50 RR from the granola bar deal.

This week, I want to get the Pantene, Lysol, Gillette, and Pampers.

Coupons:
$3/2 Pantene
$1.50/1 Neutra-Air
$1/1 Lysol
2 $4/1 Gillette
4 $1.50/1 Pampers

Obviously, I'm looking to buy 2 Pantene products, 1 Neutra Air, 1 Lysol, 2 Gillettes and 4 packs of Pampers.

What's the best way to go about doing this? The way I figure it, I would end up paying about $30 out of pocket but I'm a total newbie at this. I could also throw in the $1 MM from JointJuice but it's not a big deal.

Ok, I've been playing around with it and here's what I'm coming up with:

T1
Buy 1 Gillette and 2 Pantene $10 + $7 = $17
$4 Gillette q and $3/1 Pantene q
$5.50 RR
$4.5 oop get $7 RR

T2
Buy 2 Pampers $18
2 $1.50/1 q
$7 RR
$8 oop get $3 RR

T3
Lysol, Neutra Air and Gillette $17
$1 q, $1.50 q, and $4 q
$3 RR
$7.50 oop get $ 7 RR

T4
2 Pampers $18
2 $1.50/1 q
$7 RR
$8 oop get 3 RR

I think this would be a total of $28 oop not counting fillers and taxes. What do you think?

Also, do you have any ideas for cheap fillers? Where should I look in the store? Anything in particular I should look for? Last time I only needed one filler so I grabbed a 50 cent piece of candy but I think I'm going to need more fillers this time!

How much would each of the products you want to get cost after coupons?
Don't include the RRs you have.

Also, how much is ea prod going to earn you in RRs?

T1
Buy 1 Gillette and 2 Pantene $10 + $7 = $17
use $4 Gillette q and $3/1 Pantene q = $10 after q before rr
use $5.50 RR
$4.5 oop get $7 RR

T2
Buy 2 Pampers $18
use 2 $1.50/1 q = $15 after q before rr
use $7 RR
$8 oop get $3 RR

T3
Lysol, Neutra Air and Gillette $17
use $1 q, $1.50 q, and $4 q = $10.50 after q before rr
use$3 RR
$7.50 oop get $ 7 RR

T4
2 Pampers $18
use 2 $1.50/1 q = $15 after q before rr
use $7 RR
$8 oop get 3 RR

Does this make more sense?

regarding cheap fillers, check your stores for candy tubs with .05 or .10 candies like the laffy taffy, peppermint cookie, tootsie rolls, etc. these are usually located near the front registers for easy access. check the clearance aisle too for random items you might be interested in. they may not be dirt cheap but if they're items you need/can use, that will still be okay.

rule of thumb for ALL your trxn ~ make sure you have equal/less number of coupons (including the RRs) for each trxn. give the RRs first followed by MQs and ANY WAGc, last. R-M-W

T4
2 Pampers $18
2 $1.50/1 q
$7 RR--->this is add'l coupon you're using
$8 oop get 3 RR

in this trxn, you have 2 Pampers for which you are using 1.50 MQs for each one THEREFORE, you need the cheap filler to use your $7 RR here.

Good luck!

I'm new too, why give the RRs first? I may have read that but I forgot.
