I only received 1 $2 ECB. Shouldn't I have received $4 is ECB's? Anyone else have this problem? I also had a problem with the EarRinse. The ECB's did not print and I was charged $9.99. We fixed it and the cashier told the manager that happened to come in about the same time. I bought 2 of the Stayfree this morning and used the BIG1 free coupon. I only received 1 $2 ECB.

They don't appear to be part of the other deal. BTW-The Excedrin Menstrual is an express gel product. The express gel coupons from excedrins site work on this deal (no beeping). I also did just get a $$ off excedrin at the coupon printer today. I think it's a $1 off. I saw themf or $3.99 for the 20ct at my store. I just need to print some manuf Qs so I can do it!

Also, watch those ECBs, because they do expire. Don't worry about the dwindling. It's easy to build them back up. I let the dwindle all the time, and just build them back up.

I keep a personal card and a biz card, so I think will try to redeem my 8 million lotion coupons on my personal card today to see just how many ECB's I can get... will post my outcome! hmmmm belay my last, I have my latest receipt that says I have purchased 3 lotions to my reward and have 1 more to earn it… the one mentioned above was from transaction 1 earlier today, so I have added yet another lotion and it says I still have 1… well maybe the lotion is limitless.

I haven't hit my limit on the lotion yet and have bought 2.. it says I have 2 toward reward and 1 needed to earn reward. I know I am still high on the OOP... I started out doing it all wrong and have like $65 in ECB's to spend. I am afraid to spend them because I am afraid I will dwindle them away.. you know like holding on to that last piece of your favorite candy or something... anyway, I plan to get better at it, I am using the smaller transaction approach and find that it helps me out. thanks for the reassurance and advice.

As for the coupons that print at the scanner, those are the same coupons that have been printing for me as well, so nothing to do but wait for better coupons to come along. If you are referring to wanting like an x/xx coupon, there really is no rhyme or reason to it. I have no idea why some people get them and others don't. It has something to do with what you spend, when you spend, ect.. but couldn't tell you exactly. As for if you are doing it right, it seems like you are. Do you need those items? Your OOP is still a little high. You seem to be getting items that aren't the absolute best deal, other than the theraful. To get your OOP lower, try to make sure your total after Manufacturer coupons is going to be right around the amount in Extra Bucks that you will use. That way your total will be a lot lower. You'll get there, don't worry. :) Lori, I definitely would have said something for the lotions not ringing up the right price.

Also, if you use your $1 off cvs brand hand lotion printed of the coupon machines last week they have it on sale for $2.39 less the $1 coupon, and you earn $1 ECB... Does anyone else use the coupon machine very often?
