This week, I was focused on minimizing my total cost--not my out of pocket expense. So, I ended up spending a little more cash, but with the reimbursement from rebates, I'll have made money in the end! Here's what I did:
Transaction #1
(1) Physician's Formula mascara $10.49
-$1/1 Manu. q
-$3/1 CVS q
-$2.10 20% off purchase q
(2) Head & Shoulder's large bottles $15.98 total
-$7.99 BOGO q
-$3.20 20% off purchase q
(1) Reinventing Beauty magazine $0.99
-$0.20 20% of purchase q
+tax
=$11.29
ECBs received: 7 (Physician's Formula)
Transaction #2
(4) Head & Shoulder's small bottles $18.67
-(2) BOGO manu. q's ($9.34)
(1) Skintimate shave gel $2.50
-$2/1 peelie (!)
(1) Blink tears $8.99
-$1/1 manu. q
(4) Hallmark cards $6.99
-$3/3 coupon
-B3G1 coupon ($0.99)
-19.49 ECBs
+tax
=$2.39
ECBs received: 4 (H&S), 8.99 (Blink), 3 (cards)
So, I spent $13.68 out of pocket, but ended up with 8 more Extracare Bucks than I had started with (including BeautyBucks) and I'll be getting $7.50 back (for all those H&S shampoos) in a rebate, so it's like I made $1.82 on over $75 worth of stuff!!
