this week we got:
31 soyjoy
4 newspapers
2 smart rinse
3 colgate
1 brut deodorant
1 book of stamps
2 boxes of imodium
cvs q-tips

summary:
got $83.29 worth of merchandise
spent $50.96 ecb + $3.19 cash = $54.15
received $45.98 ecb
down $4.98 in ecb and $3.19 cash = cost of $8.17

considering i needed the stamps, and they were $8.40 alone, and again - no $/$$ cvs coupons, not bad at all.

i scanned the imodium at the price scanner, it said "regular price $14.99 clearance price 7.50" so that is why it does not count toward the weekly deal (Buy $15 of Imodium, Mylanta, Pepcid AC, or Complete get $5 EB Limit 1)

the imodium surprised me by being on sale, regular price was $14.99. that was nice, after the $5 coupon only paid $2.50 for it! however it did not count towards the weekly deal (Buy $15 of Imodium, Mylanta, Pepcid AC, or Complete get $5 EB Limit 1) but i'm not complaining...
