i just want to point out that the limit on candy deals is FIVE- so look on the bottom of your receipt- it's possible you could get the choc later in the week, and still get ecbs.......unless you got 50 dollars worth of lifesavers...........



also, the premium m&ms were down on the bottom shelf at my store- several feet away from where i was looking. they are standup bags, and even though i saw them once, when i went back to buy some, it took searching again to see them. ( i bought 2, and brought them when i visited with my family, so 6 of us taste tested them. mint- 6 thumbs way up! mocha, 6 thumbs sort of sideways. nothing w r o n g with the mocha, but nothing special, either.)

Would it make sense to use the $10.00 ECB that I got from the J&J deal to pay for the Revlon deal?
It'd be like paying a penny for the Revlon and still having almost $10.00 right- so its free? I dont have any CRTs for it.
I want to make sure I do this right. Also, wiill the $9.99 ECB will come out with a later expiration?
I appreciate any help. Thanks!

Yes If I were you I would use it on the Revlon, it would make it FREE.
And the expriration will be later.

yes- perfect sense. this is exactly what we mean when we say " roll your ecb".

one potential problem- that penny. in my stores, they have a fit adjusting it downward....so you may have to buy something else. just have in mind something cheap to buy if they won't adjust the buck downward- - this week, i'd suggest a candy bar- it will count toward your candy total, in case you do the buy 10, get 5. a pencil or a travel size kleenex or qtips would work , too. ( this is what we call a filler- it fills the gap, and spends that penny.)

the new expiration date is a month away- either a calendar month, or 4 weeks - i can't remember which it is right now....but either 28 days, or 30, 31.

The Onetouch Ultramini monitor are always under $20 at just about every store. Rite-Aid and CVS has them for $19.99, I think I saw them at Wal-Mart for $18.82. I do believe they were just over $20 at K-Mart. Anyway, if you need a back-up, you can use that coupon to get that one free just about anywhere. Just be aware that you have to use the strips made specifically for the type of monitor you have, you cannot interchange them b/c the strips have only been tested to be used w/ that company's monitor, so they do not guarantee accuracy of the results if you use them w/ something else.

P.S. PP is right, the Onetouch Ultraminis do not come w/ any strips. The Contours do, though, so if you have any of those $30 Contour coupons, hold onto them and wait for a sale. Then you'll have a back-up meter and 10 free strips to go w/ it. :)

yesterday got 10 bags, no problems. Today, SAME cashier, "maam these are already on sale B1G1". Yeah I know...so? The manufacturer reimburses you for it. "BUt, they're already B1G1". So take them off my order then I don't need them if I can't use the coupon for them! Now I don't know if I want to drive to another CVS 20 minutes away or just be happy I got my $5 ECB to make up for what I paid for the coupons. Maybe I can use them at Walgreen next week.

My husband said we're getting a divorce if I bring home even one more razor. LOL! Maybe I can hide them!

Where else do you get that rate of return on an investment?

My store "thinks" they are out of the razors.... they even have a sign posted that they are out. Shows how much the people that work there know!!

If you walk down the aisle to the side-endcap, there an entire display if them - like 20 left! Walk around and check the endcaps, and the "side" of the endcaps!!

look on ebay... for 20 4.00/1 coupons- almost $30 with 2 hours to go!
