SWEET!

You found H.E. shampoo on clearance!?! Did they let you have overage on the $3/2 coupon?

How many ECBs do you get for the Natural Dentist? Was that free or a moneymaker?

Nice job! I can't wait to start getting gift cards to make up for spending over my ECB's. I'm half way to a $10 card on MyPoints!

Yes, I found the H.E. shampoo clearanced. Since I've never been able to get overage on a MC, I just bought 3 of them to be on the safe side. Then as I was about to check out, I remembered I had the $1 off any shampoo coupon that had just printed out the red box that day, so I used that on top of the MC and was able to get overage with that coupon.

The natural dentist is a money maker. If you buy 2 of them, cost is $19.98 ($9.99 each). Then use 2 $2 coupons, brings it down $15.98. You receive $4 for each bottle (monthly deal), which brings your total to $7.98, then submit for a $10 rebate, which makes you $2.02 profit.
