Economic Endeavors

I had some time to get online today and look for some deals, and this is what I found:

This week it is advertised that when you buy one Maybelline Define-A-Lash Mascara ($5.99) and one Garnier Nutritioniste Eye Roller you'll get 10 ECBs back. Well, the ECBs also print with 2 mascaras and no eye roller! Use 2 $1/1 Maybelline coupons from 4/27 inserts, and the mascaras are free after ECBs!

This deal is limit 2, so you can do this deal twice (total 4 mascaras)! Not a bad way to roll some of those ECBs!

Here's what I see for the week of 8/3:
