CVS Scenarios for 12/2

[michtrif]

I have a whole bunch of $1 Duracell manuf q's. Will this scenario work? (I plan to use my hubby's card this time to earn some ecb from the p&g deal)

transaction 2
5.99 1 oasis
4.99 1 Energy Drink
=10.98
-2/10
-1.50 oasis cpn
=7.48 oop
earn 10.98 ecb

transaction 2
4x duracell
=21.16
-4/20
-4.99 ecb
-5.99 ecb
-1.00 mf
-1.00 mf
-1.00 mf
-1.00 mf
=18.98
2.18 oop + tax
earn 5ecb

will this work or is my first transaction too much oop? I guess I have to start somewhere, right?

I would do the following:

Transaction 1
$22.47 - CoverGirl Lipstick x 6 ($7.49 x 3 + $0.00 x 3)
$4.95 - CVS Cough Drop (.99 x 5)
= $27.42
- $4.00 - CVS 4/20
- $22.47 - CG BOGO
= $0.95 oop + tax

ECBs Earned
$5.00 P&G
$4.95 CVS Cough

Transaction 2
$5.99 - Oasis
$4.99 - Energy
= $10.98
- $2.00 - CVS 2/10
- $1.50 - Oasis
= $7.48
- $5.00 ECB
= $2.48 oop + tax

ECBs Earned
$5.99 Oasis
$4.99 Energy

Transaction 3
$21.16 - Duracell (5.29 x 4)
- $4.00 - CVS 4/20
- $4.00 - Duracell manu
= $13.16
- $5.99 ECB
- $4.99 ECB
= $2.18

ECBs Earned
NONE (limit already reached)

You'd end up with less oop, but you wouldn't have any ECBs in the end to show for it. But, I'd rather spend less oop.

Hello! (I wanted a cool waving smiley, but no go.)

On a new, deal-free card, what do you think?

Trxn 1:
Robitussin 4.99
Robitussin 4.99
CVS Cough drops .99
EE drink 4.99
- $5/15 (if they will take it printed, fingers crossed!)
-$2/10 nonprescription CVS
- 2 $3 Robitussin qs
= $2.96 OOP and $10.98 ECBs

Trxn 2:
Tylenol $5.99
Tylenol $5.99
Oasis $5.99
Razor $9.99
2 Cokes $5.50
- $5/15
- $2/10
- 2 $5 Tylenol qs
- $4 razor q
- $10.98 ECB
= $1.96 OOP and $11.99 ECBs

Trxn 3:
2 Cokes $5.50
Oasis $5.99
EE $4.99
Robitussin (no ECB deal but for .99 it's still good; plus it's my 3rd for the MIR) $4.99
= $21.47
- $5/15
- $4 Robitussin q
- $11.99 ECBs
= .48 OOP + $13.98 ECBs

Total OOP: $4.92, with almost $14 in ECBs left over!

Worst case scenario: they won't take the printed $5/15, so I will use a $4/20 in the last two and either pay more OOP in the first OR add a EE drink and a $4/20; but that means recalculating EVERYTHING!

Love any feedback!
TIA!
