Economic Endeavors

With the absence of $/$$ coupons again, for most of us this will be a week of rolling our ECBs.

Here's what I came up with this week:

Because there are no $/$$ coupons to work with, I grouped everything into one transaction.

$9.99 Kodak Picture DVD (earns $9.99 ECBs)
$9.99 Revlon Limited Edition Makeup (earns $9.99 ECBs)
$4.50 x6 Stayfree Products ($27, earns $10 ECBs)
$2.99 Band-Aid bandages (earns $2 ECBs)
$3.99 x2 Schick Intuition Plus razor

$53.96 before coupons

-$3 Revlon CRT
-$2 Revlon (from 7/20 SS)
-$13.50 (3) Stayfree B1G1 (from 6/29 RP)
-$2/2 Stayfree (from 4/27 RP)
-$1 Stayfree (from 7/27 USA Weekend)
-$3.99 B1G1 Intuition (from 7/13 SS)
-$2 Schick Intuition (from 6/29 SS)

$30.46 after coupons, earns $31.98 ECBs!

I have Life Saver B1G1 coupons, but I don't know if I'll be doing the candy deal because I have heard that these coupons are coded wrong and beep for 90% of the lifesaver peg bags, even though they are valid for the coupon. But with it being a B1G1 sale and using a B1G1 coupon, I just don't know if the cashier will push it through if it beeps. CVS's policy is that these coupons should be taken, but I don't like to ruffle feathers at the store that hooks me up with so much stuff for free already!
