I am new at this and trying to make sure I have things somewhat figured out before going in store- thanks so much for your help. I only have 2 of the mentos coupons- would it still be worthwhile for me to even purchase the mentos? _____________________________________________ The Thrifty Mama here: If Mentos is priced $1.69 at your store, then the deal would not be as advantageous for you to do. 1.69 x 3 = 4.17 - 3 $1/1 coupons = $1.17 - 1 ECB received = .17 cents total You can still do the deal if you wish, but I'm mainly trying to help you build up Extra Bucks here, not loose them. If you only have 2 of the coupons, then it really wouldn't be worthwhile doing. Hope this helps! could you please explain why you would do the colgate deal if mentos is priced at 1.69??

1.69 x 3 = 4.17
- 3 $1/1 coupons = $1.17
- 1 ECB received = .17 cents total
You can still do the deal if you wish, but I’m mainly trying to help you build up Extra Bucks here, not loose them. If you only have 2 of the coupons, then it really wouldn’t be worthwhile doing.
Hope this helps!

My total after ECBs and coupons was exactly $0 (plus tax). Does that mean that I won't get my rebate? Or is that only true for particular rebates?

Can you explain why you give the EB BEFORE the coupons? I always give them last... Should I switch? Thanks!
