First, let me start by saying, I'm not ready for a full spread of holiday deals - when I turned to that page in the CVS ad this week, I thought really, it's only Halloween!
The buy $25 in P&G product and get the Toy Story 3 DVD for $3.99 with card, feels like a pretty decent deal, especially when paired with coupons. I think though, that I am likely to skip this offer though, and use the $8 IP for the combo pack that includes the BluRay - I saw it in Target's ad for $24.99 - anyone know where it is cheaper?
Transaction #1
1 - Olay Regenerist Moisturizer
1 - Olay Ribbons Body Wash
-$7 Free Body Wash wyb Olay Regenerist Mfg coupon
Total $24.99 OOP, earn $5 and $3 ECBs.
Alternatively, I have seen that you can get a trial size Secret for about $1 and then you might want to do this scenario:
1 - Secret Trial Size
1 - Olay Ribbons Body Wash
-$5 Olay Body Wash WYB one Secret (no size rqmt)
Total $3 OOP, earn $3 ECBs.
I'm more inclined to do the second offer, so I'll continue my scenario from there.
Transaction #2
2 - Oral B power toothbrushes
-$3 Oral B battery operated toothbrush mfg coupon
-$3 Oral B battery operated toothbrush mfg coupon
Total $3.98, pay with $3 ECB from Transaction #1 and $.98 OOP. Earn $4 ECB.
Transaction #3
1 - Covergirl Outlast Lip color
-$1 Covergirl mfg coupon
Total $7, pay with $4 ECB from Transaction #2 and $3 OOP. Earn $3 ECB. This one, I might consider trying to add some of the Revlon Cosmetics to bring my total to $15 to use the coupon that the ad indicated would be printing at the coupons machine this week. I think that it would be $15 before the the 50% off the second item. I have a few $1 Revlon Color Cosmetic coupons. I will have to play with this and see what works out. It will mean more OOP.
Transaction #4
1 - Schick Razor
-$4 Schick Razor mfg coupon
Total $4.99, pay with $3 ECB and $1.99 OOP. Earn $4 ECB.
For the day, the total OOP is $8.97 with a $4 ECB left to roll, for about $35 in product at sale prices. Not too shabby - a 77% savings.
