It's a twenty pack. Twenty double rolls. I get Angel Soft 12 pack double rolls at Wal-Mart for like $6.xx, so $8.97 after ECBs is a pretty good deal. One I will be taking advantage of.

I was going to ask if that's a good deal too. I have some $1 Q's for a 4+ pack of Cottonelle. I'm still new, so I'm not sure what's considered a good deal or not.

I get cottonelle free at kroger with 50/1 that doubles. I "buy" the 4 pk for 99c.

OK...PLEASE help me out here! I'm totally new to this CVS/ECB thing. I'm going shopping at CVS for the first time tonight and I want to try and do as well as I can. (or should I wait till tomorrow night to go?)

I have made out my shopping list for this week's sale. I looked over the ad, wrote down what I need and paired as much as I could to manu q's I have on hand. Because I'm new, I don't have any ECB's to use.

I'm going to type up my list. Can someone help me put together the best scenario in order to have the least out of pocket expense AND get ECB's to start using next week? What order should I present my coupon's in? Should I give my Extra Care Card first?

I'm open to suggestions for my list. We're stocking up, so if there's something that's an excellent deal (without coupon's), or something that I can use as a filler, please feel free to suggest it! I'm trying to stock my pantry/bathroom as well as stock up on ECB's.

Thanks so much in advance! I promise I'll eventually get my brain wrapped around all of this!

PS - I DID save $82 yesterday at the HT triples! First time too! My original total was over $240.00, then VIC and coupons brought it down by $82. My "DREAM" is to someday be savvy enough to get my total down to less than $10.00 and have a ton of groceries to show for it. Free would be absolutely HEAVEN!!

There is a 50¢ printable for the Dawn.

Unless you need the Covergirl make-up now or in the near future, I would wait for a better deal.

Did you get the $5/$25 email?

sorry, I keep editing...

The Excedrine deal is good IF you use Excedrine. You can use 4 $2/1 coupons, so it will be about $13-$14 after manu's and you get $10 back, so $1 or less a box. Cheaper than generic.

Thanks!

Dumb question....where??

Is it the regular Cottenelle ? If so and you have a krogers near by the 4 pks are always .99 so that would make them FREE --- I don't pay for TP, thanks to Krogers; well except 7% IN tax--yuck!!!

I haven't gotten the $5/$25 e-mail. When did it come out?

How do you know what will print ECB's and how to get the most ECB's?
