These are the best deals I see this week and I will show you a couple scenarios to help you roll your ECB's if you have them or get some for next week!  

RED: Manufacturer Coupons
BLUE: CVS Coupons

Use the $5/1 coupon and the razor is free after coupon and ECB.  THEN, submit for rebate (one per household) and get back the full purchase price of $8.97.  It's FREE or an 8.97 money maker if you haven't already done the rebate!

$5 ECB WYB Lysol Healthy Touch System, $9.99 (limit 1)

• $3/1 Lysol No-Touch Hand Soap System, 7/11/10 SS

Use coupon and pay $1.99 after coupon and ECB!

REGULAR SALE DEALS:

Suave Deodorant, $.99

• $.50/1 Suave Deodorant, 7/11/10 RP (exp. 8/8/10... must use SUNDAY!)
• $.75/1 Suave Deodorant, 7/11/10 RP (exp. 8/8/10... must use SUNDAY!)

DiGiorno for One, $3/each

• $2/1 DiGiorno Deep Dish printable (if included) (must click LIKE and print coupon)

Use the coupon and pay $1/each!

SOME SCENARIO'S:

I have a $5 ECB from last week, so my plan is this:

1 Dulcolax Balance (won't use it?  Donate it... you'll make money on it for future purchases!), $9.99
1 Schick Hydro Razor, $8.97
- $5/1 Dulcolax from May All You magazine
- $5/1 Schick Hydro razor, 8/8/10 SS
- $5 ECB
GRAND TOTAL: $3.96 plus tax
GET BACK: $9.99 and $4 ECB (total of $13.99)

So, I use my $5 ECB and spend $3.96 plus tax (let's assume $5 total) and walk away with $13.99 for next week...my profit is still $3.99 and I have a razor and can donate the Dulcolax!  PLUS, I'll get the $8.97 for the Schick razor rebate, making it a profit of a little under $13! 

If you have NO ECB's at all... here's a scenario:

TRANSACTION 1:
1 Schick Hydro razor, $8.97
- $5/1 Schick Hydro, 8/8/10 SS
Total Due: $3.97 plus tax
GET BACK: $4 ECB

TRANSACTION 2:
Dulcolax Balance, $9.99
- $5/1 from May All You magazine
- $4 ECB
Total Due: $.99 plus tax
GET BACK: $9.99 in ECB

You spent around $5 out of pocket for the razor and Dulcolax and have a $9.99 ECB for next week, so your net profit is between $4 and $5 depending on the tax amount.  PLUS, if you submit for the razor rebate, you'll get back $8.97 making it an even bigger money maker!

As always, if you have any questions, please comment here or e-mail me at commoncentsdiva @ gmail.com (remove spaces).

Blink Tears will be $7.99 and you'll get $7.99 in ECB's back.  Head over HERE and print your coupon for $1.50/1 making this a $1.50 moneymaker!!

I don't know of any good sales at Kroger or Publix this week to use this on, but hold onto it and there should be a sale that pops up in the next week or two. 

If they go BOGO at Publix, those of you that have true BOGO (buy one full price, get one for $0) can get 2 packages of cookies for free and only pay for the milk.  Those of us with half price BOGO will pay 1/2 price for package of cookies, get the 2nd package free, and pay for the milk.  Either way, it's a great deal!

CVS – How to Roll ECB’s:


If you had some ECB’s from last week, here’s an example of how to roll them.


I had a $10 ECB from the Pampers deal last week, so here’s what I did:


3 Crest Pro Health Mouthwash, $3.99/each

• Used 3 $2/1 manufacturer coupons , 8/1/10 PG

1 Gillette ProGlide Razor, $9.79

• Used $4/1 coupon, 8/1/10 PG

1 Colgate Total Advanced Toothpaste, $2.99

• Used $.75/1 Colgate Total printable

Used $10 ECB from last week

GRAND TOTAL: $0.00 plus tax
GET BACK $5 (from buying $10 in Crest Pro Health), $5 (for Gillette razor), and $2 ECB's (Colgate)

So, total spent out of pocket was tax and I have $12 in ECB's for the next sale.
