I went by CVS/Pharmacy on my way home from school. Spending exactly $2 out of pocket, I got:
(1)12-pack of Scott Xtra Soft toilet paper, (1)8.3 oz. bottle of Dulcolax, (1)Revlon Lipstick, and (2)Right Guard gel deodorant.
Used $19 in coupons, $2 in cash, and $9.99 in Extra Care Bucks for a gain of $19 in ECB.
Coupons were:
-$8 off any size Dulcolax manufacturer's coupon, with raincheck for ECB deal of $9.99/9.99ECB
-$1 off 8+ rolls of Scott Xtra Soft: manufacturer's coupon
-$1 off any Scott bathroom tissue: store coupon printed at ExtraCare coupon center
-$2 off Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick: manufacturer's coupon
-$3/2 Right Guard Total Defense 5: manufacturer's coupon
-$4/$20 purchase: store coupon received when signed up for ExtraCare email notifications
The Dulcolax, deodorant, and lipstick were all Extra Care Buck deals; the deodorant and lipstick deals can be seen in the CVS/pharmacy ad at http://cvs.shoplocal.com/cvs/default.aspx?action=entryflash&
TOTAL GAIN ON TRANSACTION: $19ECB - $9.99ECB - $2 cash, PLUS ALL THE PURCHASES = $36.97
Or, the way I look at it
What I got for about 2 hrs of actual work (gathering and organizing coupons, and making the purchase):
(1)bottle of Dulcolax, which may or may not ever be used
(1)12-pack of Scott toilet paper, which will be used entirely too quickly
(2)sticks of gel deodorant, which will hopefully be used fairly quickly
(1)lipstick, which is nice to have and will last me for years
+ $7.01 in 'cash'
