    1. Did you miss using a coupon or two?

    2. Should Transaction 4 read 2 Thermacare or 1 Themacare? That might be 3.79 of her difference maybe? The math on it doesn't seem to add up unless I'm missing something, I am pretty new to this still too.

    3. Yep, the math doesn't add up. Transaction #4 should read buy (1) ThermaCare. I need a proofer before I hit post. Thanks for catching that!

  2. Totally amazing, thanks so much for this post every week! I didn't need any toothpaste but I am really learning from you by reading these posts! I spent 97 cents plus tax OOP and I have $8 in ECB for next week! I did 3 transactions and rolled ECB's and used a $5 gift card that I got in the mail for the theraflu offer a while back. I got 2-12 packs of diet pepsi, 1 thermacare, 1 hydro silk razor and 2 pantene conditioners. :)

    1. Great shopping, Linda! My goal for these posts are to help shoppers play the game of picking up what they need and spending as little out of pocket as possible.
