Last week, of course, I shopped early in the week and then at the end of the week, I received an e-mail coupon for $5 off of $30. It doesn't expire until today, so my hope was that there would be a good deal that I was interested in this week, so I could use my coupon. Here is a transaction I built around that coupon, if you don't have the same coupon, your total could be higher - but you could also split transaction #1 into two to reduce OOP.
Transaction #1
6 boxes of GM Cereals
1 EARinse
-$.55 mfg coupon (assorted GM Cereal coupons available in coupon side bar)
-$.55 mfg coupon
-$.75 mfg coupon
-$.75 mfg coupon
-$1 $1/2 mfg coupon
-$5 $5/30
$21.40 OOP. Earn $10 and $9.99 ECBs. (That's like paying $1.41 for six boxes of cereal - $.23 / ea)
Transaction #2
1 - Dove Bar Soap
1 - Pantene Shampoo
1 - Clairol Haircolor
-$2 Pantene mfg coupon
-$2 Clairol mfg coupon
Total $10.47. Pay with $10 ECB from transaction #1 and $0.47 OOP. Earn $1, $1 and $2 ECBs.
Transaction #3

Total $10. Pay with $9.99 ECBs from transaction #1 and $0.01 OOP. Earn $5 ECBs.
