    I am so sorry I don’t have the dates for when i got my coupons… they are all clipped and I can’t find the original dates… 🙁

    I am new at this, but I decided to share my transactions… Please forgive me if I don’t post it right.

    I don’t like to to several transactions, besides this week I got a $5 coupon for transactions over $25. (CVS sent me that on my email, along with 1.50 ECB for my winter spending)

    So here is my single transaction:
    * Buy 1 Pantene gel
    $2.99 – $1.00 (coupon) = $1.99 OOP
    (ECB $1.00)

    * Buy 1 Pantene gel
    $2.99 – $1.00 (coupon) = $1.99 OOP
    (ECB $1.00)

    *Buy 3 stride gum
    ($0.99 each x3) $2.97 -$1.49 (coupon) = $1.48 OOP
    (ECB $0.99)

    *Buy 1 skintimate shaving cream = $3.99 OOP
    (ECB $3.00)

    *Buy 2 Speed Stick Stainguard
    ($3.49 each x2) $6.98 – $1.00 (coupon) = $5.98 OOP
    (ECB $4.00)

    * Buy 1 Colgate Total
    $2.99 – $1.00 (coupon) = $1.99 OOP
    (ECB $2.00)

    *Buy 1 Tampax Pearl 36-40ct =$7.99 OOP
    Get 1 Tampax 18-20 FREE
    (ECB $2.00)

    OOP Total: $25.41
    Pay with $10.99 old ECB
    $ 5.00 printed coupon (save $5 on purchases over $25)
    $1.50 ECB printed (cash back for my winter spending)

    TOTAL: $17.49
    OO PCASH $7.92
    (ECB for future purchases $13.99)

    Thank you so much for helping me get started at “couponing”
    Happy Easter!
