It’s been a LONG time since I’ve bought cereal, but I decided that this was a good deal. So I now have a few emergency go-to boxes. I had spent last week’s ECBs on some OTC meds we needed, so I started this week with ZERO ECBs. Yikes! I did two transactions to try to limit my out-of-pocket costs.

2 Colgate Total Advanced – $5.00
1 Twix Bar – $.75
1 U by Kotex Liners – $3.99
– 2 $1/1 Colgate Total Advanced Toothpaste, exp. 5/13/12 (SS 04/15/12)
Out-of-Pocket Cost: $7.74 + tax
ECBs Earned: $7.75 ($4 Colgate, $3 Kotex, $.75 Twix)
Transaction #2:
3 Cheerios – $9.00
– 3 $0.75/1 Cheerios Coupon (need 2 computers to print 3)
– $7.75 ECBs from transaction #1
Out-of-Pocket Cost: $1.00
ECBs Earned: $4.00
Total Merchandise Value: $18.74
