I don't have my act together this morning enough to post my scenario for the week! I don't have any expiring ECB's so I may skip this week but I'm not completely sure about that yet. Nevertheless, here is a newbie scenario for you all! You'll spend just $5 OOP, get 13 items and still have $2 left in ECB's!

Transaction 1
Buy 1 Colgate Total Advanced toothpaste 4oz or 360 Acti Flex toothbrush , On sale $2.99 Get $2.00 ECB’s (limit 1)
Buy 1 Revlon Nail Polish, On sale $3.99 Get $3.00 ECB's (limit 6)
Use $1.00 coupon for toothpaste or toothbrush from 9/27 SS
Use $1.00 coupon for Revlon from 9/13 SS
Pay just $4.98 OOP plus tax and get $5.00 ECB's

Transaction 2
Buy 1 Dial Soap (2-3 pack), On sale $1.88, Get $1.00 ECB's (limit 1)
Buy 1 Reinventing Beauty Magazine, On sale $.99 (chock full of coupons! ask if you can't find it in the store)
Buy 4 Crystal Light Single Packs, $.50 each
Buy 1 Secret Deodorant, On sale $2.99, Get $1.00 ECB's (limit 1)
Buy 1 Gold Emblem Spice, On sale $.88
Use 2 of the $2.00/2 Crystal Light coupons from 9/13 SS
Use $1.00 Dial printable coupon
Total will be $4.74
Add 1 small candy filler item for $.26 (there are caramels near my register for about that price)
Use the ECB's from Transaction 1
Pay 0 OOP, get $2.00 in ECB's

Transaction 3
Buy 1 Fruitopia Shampoo or Conditioner (This week, Buy 1 Fruitopia or Viologie shampoo or conditioner, get one FREE, $3.49 each)
Buy 1 Viologie Shampoo or Conditioner
Use 1 $2.00 off Fruitopia coupon from Reinventing Beauty Magazine from Transaction 2
Use 1 $2.00 off Viologie coupon from Reinventing Beauty Magazine from Transaction 2 (YMMV on this transaction as the register will beep but your cashier should push both coupons through)
You could either purchase something else for $2.00 and use your ECB's from Transaction 2 or hold onto them for a future week!
