    Hi! Just wondering how you got 2 of the $3off 1 Thermacare coupons, the site would only let me print it one time. Thanks

    As always, thanks for letting me link up! Using previous ECBs, I spent $3 OOP, got back $16 in ECBs, and saved over $127! I also posted 2 scenarios for newbies so that they spend only $4.48 OOP and leave with $7 ECBs. 🙂

    I did okay this week, I went a little higher than $5 out of pocket and only have $2 in extra bucks for next week. I got a LOT of stuff though!

    Wouldn’t you actually get $8 ECB from buying 2 of the Old Spice Body Wash? The limit is 2. The B1G1 should take off $4 but you should still get back $8 right?
    Anyway… thanks for the linky 🙂

    Needed the ragu so I think I did pretty well, Thanks for the link up

    I only have $1 ECB for next time but I spent $4.48 and saved over $40! NatureMade BOGO and coupons helped a lot! Plus I got a raincheck for the Gillette body wash so I’ll have $8 ECB coming to me when I use it.
