Total $9.79, pay with $5 ECBs and $4.79 OOP. Earn $2 and $3 ECBs. Of course, if the Flavor Grove are included, I will use my $1 CRT for them and reduce my OOP.

Transaction #4

-$1 Benefiber mfg coupon
-$1 Benefiber mfg coupon
-$1 Benefiber mfg coupon

Total $20.07, pay with $2 and $3 ECBs and $15.57 OOP. Earn $10 ECBs. Anyone know if there are any links out there for the $2 or $2.50 Benefiber IPs? As I mentioned here, I love to flavor my water and find their flavors to be good.

Total OOP for the day would be $31.11 for $71.26 in product with $10 ECBs remaining. About a 62% savings.

Of course, there are a few other deals that I am kicking around, like the Gillette Shaving Spend $25 get $10 deal. I like the Venus Razors and my husband likes the Gillette Fusion razors. I will have to see what type of deal I can get with the coupons from the paper this week. The Softsoap/Irish Spring deal is another one I am considering. I am pretty sure that I have some coupons for both and this might be a good time to grab some. I might also take advantage of the BOGO Gift Wrap offer, I have a CRT the expired last week, but generally, my CVS will take them for a week or two past expiration.
