according to my receipt
spent $29.05 OOP
"saved" $42.83 {yes they mark stuff up but thats why you coupon and do ecbs!}
got $20 in ecbs

~ dont forget i had $13.50 in ecbs from an earlier trip as well as $5 off a $25 purchase.

heres the explanation for it if it helps:

dove is on sale with ecbs back. by $20 worth and get $10 ecb. i had coupons for dove so i got 2 HUGE bottles of body wash and 1 ~ 6 pack of bar soap. i paid $21 for all of these. had coupons for $4 off so thats $17 out of pocket. and i got $10 ecb. so thats $7 dollars after ecbs for all of that!

1 bottle of fun nail polish. it was $3.99 with $3 ecb back and i had a coupon for $1. so i only paid $2.99 for it and i got $3 back. so thats FREE after ecbs.

my hair color is on sale right now for only $7.99 and i had coupons one for $3 off and one for $2 off. so i got 2. i paid $10.98 for two! {if you consider i could get my hair done in a salon thats really a savings of $300+ :) }

toothpaste is one sale for $2.99 with $2 ecbs back. i had a coupon for $1. i got it for free after ecbs.

tooth brushes are on sale and i really needed one :) $2.99 (no deals on this except it was on sale)

st ives facial scrub has a deal right now if you spend $10 you get $5 ecb. i had 2 coupons worth $2 so i got 3 of them for $5 after you add the ecbs.
