They Paid Me $3.08 to Take It All Home


Pretty good day today. There was nothing that I needed to buy. I was just looking to roll some ECBs. Here's what I did:

Transaction 1:
1 Crest Pro Health - $3.49
1 Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Foundation - $7.99
7 Johnson Buddies Bars - $1.19 each

-$1.00 MQ Crest
-$1.00 MQ Maybelline
-7 $1.00 MQ Johnson
-$4.00 of $20 CVS Q
-$4.99 ECB

Total OOP: $1.91, Earned $3.00 ECB (Crest) and $5.00 ECB (Maybelline)

I consider ECBs to be cash so on this transaction I made $1.10. The scanner gods loved me today and I also got a $5 off $30 CRT so I had to find things to buy. Here is what I did on my second transaction. 


Transaction 2:
1 Schick Quattro For Women with Trimmer - $8.99
24.7 Facial Scrub - $15.99
24.7 Facial Scrub - $7.99 (B1G1 50% off)

-$1.00 CVS Q from RIB for skin defining purchase (the cashier okayed it!)
-$2.00 CVS Q from RIB for any 24.7 product
-$4.00 MQ (Schick)
-$5 off $30
-$10.00 ECB
-$10.00 ECB

Total OOP: $1.02, Earned $10.00 ECB (24.7), $10.00 ECB (24.7), $3.00 ECB (Schick) 

So on this one I had a profit of $1.98. Again not too shabby. The ECBs didn't print on the 24.7 at first and I worried about the Facial Scrub working at all, but the signs for the B1G1 50% off were there as well as the month long ECB signs. The manager looked at the signs and said it was no problem to print them out for me. I would have been fine either way because if it hadn't worked out I had my eye on some of that Organix Conditioner that is $6.99 right now and has a hangtag for a full $6.99 rebate on it. I figured I could get a bunch of that if need be. Anyway. HTH someone!!  Happy shopping!!!
