i found out that the crest whitestrips coupons will give you overage, if you are buying other p&g items. in this case i did not have any other p&g items, so the coupons needed to be adjusted to the amount of the whitestrips. last time i had purchased the always infinity, and that is why the coupons went through for the full $7 each! another ecb item this week that you might want to buy the with the whitestrips is swiffer.

oh and do not buy this camera except as a toy. it rather sucks. hello kitty has betrayed me. :(
