Any way to get a breakdown of prices? There is $10 in prurex alone so that would mean she got everything else for only $7! Would love to see details to duplicate.
jamie says
I would appreciate a break down too:) I’m not understanding how it’s a money maker…good shopping trip though!!
Tiffany says
I think what made the biggest difference was that she also had $16ECB from the previous week.
Kristin says
Yes but if you deducted the ecb it would have been $17 out of pocket which i would be happy to pay!
Tiffany says
Very True!

How does the B1G1 coupon works for a B1G1 50% off sale? Thanks!
Rookie says
Perhaps they gave her the full price off for the Head and Shoulders with the B1G1 free coupon…but since it was on sale for B1G1 50% 0ff, the difference came off of her other products?
