These are the 1 ounce samples.  They are $0.99 and are ringing up 25% off for $0.74.  To make things even better, buy 3 and get a $10 RR!!!  That’s a $7.78 MoneyMaker!!!  I did one transaction to just check it out and once I saw that they were producing the RR I went back to shopping so that I could use my 3 6RRs from the Nivea yesterday and turn them into $10RR!  By the time I got back up the register, two of the cashiers were already buying some for themselves!  LOL

I did the first transaction on my way home from church, and then came home to find that the non Sport was ringing up BOGO (thank you Wild For Wags) so of course I had to run out and check it out.  Only wish I would have know sooner.  I still made money on the 1st and 3rd transactions but that 2nd one was awesome!

~

~

Then I moved on to CVS, it’s on my way home and I was on a money making high.   They have Gillette body wash free after ECBs this week.  The ad says a limit of one, but last week the limits weren’t triggering and I was able to do a couple of the deals multiple times so I figured I’d risk it.  So glad  I did!!

2 Gillette men’s body wash $4.00 each

1 10 pack CVS trashbags $1.00

Over all, I spent $2.02 oop this week before taxes ($5.54 with 9.5% TN sales tax) and got back $18RR and $9ECB  After using $5RR and $5ECB I had from last week, I ended up making $15.98 this week while shopping!!!

~

Oh, and since my husband already has about 10 bottles of body wash, this will be added to the donation I’m taking to the local shelter this week.  :0)

So, for $9.31(w/TN sales tax) I’m getting $92.32 worth of merchandise!  And I’ll still have 1 $2RR from the Ecotrin.  Obviously, not everyone is going to have 12 Ecotrin coupons.  I stocked up because I knew we’d be needing sunscreen with my husband’s new river guiding job and he’s also been whining about wanting ice cream!  lol  Even if you don’t have a large number of Ecotrin coupons, still take advantage of the money maker and get some items you need.  Feel free to comment with how many you have and I can help you work out the best scenario!
