I really like to see what others get–that’s how I learned how to save so much and I am still learning.

I went today and the $6.17 I put on my Benny card for my son’s antibiotic for his ear infection doesn’t count! I used a rain check from last week to get two Gillette body washes for $4 each, used a $4/2 coupon (5/2 PG), used $1 ECB, paid $3.44 OOP and earned $8 ECB. Then bought one children’s Claritin at $9.99, used $3 coupon and Ban at $2.99, used $1 coupon, paid with $8 ECB and owed $1.04 OOP. Total OOP $4.48!
