Two Scenarios for the Week

I'm putting these here so I don't forget!

With experiment-card, I have one more ECB to roll because it expires on June 1. It's $8.97 - so 1 Adidas deodorant ($4.99) plus 2 Colgate toothpastes ($2.99 each minus $1 coupon for each) is $8.97 with $8.97 back. Roll away! I'll probably do this later in the week, watch this space!

For the other card, my main goals are to get more Intuition razors and more Smart Start, so I have this planned:

2 toothbrushes ($3.99)
1 toothpaste (2.99)
Intuition refills ($9.99)
2 Smart Start Cereals ($5)

-$1/2 toothbrushes
-$1.50 toothpaste
-$4 razors
-$3/2 cereal

$16.46

Pay with 5.98, $3.99, $5 ECBs, plus $1.49 cash (plus tax)
Get back 7.98 , 2, 6 = $15.98

(If I skipped the cereal I could either get a tissue pack for 50 cents and ask the cashier to adjust the ECB 1 cent - but I still have drama with that sometimes and prefer to avoid it - or more toilet paper and pay a small OOP. But I try not to pay more than $1/box of cereal - so this is a great deal - and Smart Start happens to be one of my favorites...and we need cereal!)
