I apologize for the quality of this photo! My Camera got left on and the battery is dead… I was really excited to find the Little Swimmers on clearance for only $2.49 a bag. We go through so many and they are expensive. I rolled my ECB’s from today over on them.
If you are just starting and don’t have any coupons, just get todays paper, all the coupons I used today came from this weeks paper. I spent just over $5 for all the stuff in the picture!

I have a question, well 2 lol. 1. Why use a filler item? 2. How can u use tomorrow’s sale when it starts tomorrow? My CVS doesn’t allow me till midnight ๐
Tiffany says
I used the filler because I had a $13 ECB and you wont get $$ back unless you get to $13.
Mine switches over at about 6-9pm the night before.
Julia says
Wow! I wish I had looked for the little swimmers today when I went! Great find!
Ana says
I’m still kinda confused. Sorry! Let me see if I understand.. You have to pay some $$ oop in order to get ECB’s? Or do you have to have same # of items w/ coupons & ECB’s?
Tiffany says
I might be confused as to what you are asking so if I dont answer correctly keep asking:)
Well yes most often you have a little coming out of your pocket, but then you get ECB back. But they have to be on advertised items that give you back ECB’s not everything on the store does.
My total was $11 something, I had an ECB for $13, if I had used just that I would have “lost” 2 dollars as they dont give money back on ECB’s.
No you dont have to have the same # of items.
Ana says
I see ๐ I understand! You went ahead an added an item so u wouldn’t loose the $$ ๐ thanks for clarifying.

Where did you find your toothbrushes (the electric ones). I went to 4 CVS’s in my area and they all told me that it was a new item and they didn’t carry them yet. I’ll be in the Woodlands this week and I plan on tracking them down.
Tiffany says
Sawdust and the one off Gosling.
Mel says
Can you use 2 $3 coupon on a BOGO?
Tiffany says
