4 Soyjoy 4.00
1 Nova Max Monitor 9.99
1 CVS Vitamin D 2.99
1 Almay Bar .99
1 Condensed Milk 1.79 (I had to throw this up on the register and I’ll explain why in a second)
= $22.76

Coupons used:

-4/20
-.99, 2.58, 3.99, and 4 ECB
-$2.00 CVS Vitamin CRT that printed when I went in. The coupon said $1 but rang up $2 (at least I think this is what happened), so I went way into the negative and had to grab the condensed milk).
-2 BOGO Soyjoy coupons
-2.00 Mars Candy coupon (found in Publix flier)
-$1/1 Almay (reduced to .99)

=.15 cents on Gift Card
Earned 9.99, 4.00, and 2.99 in Extra Bucks.

You are amazing! This was my first week, I thought I was doing great. I figured out my total would be around $11 OOP, but when I did everything it came up to $20! I have looked at my receipt over and over and I can’t figure out what happened. I was discouraged at first, then last night I went and my OOP was $1.39 and I saved $9.83. I thought I could just jump into this, but I am now realizing I need to start small and get used to it. Thank you for all you do, you are helping so many families!

I noticed your note at the top of your blog. What do you mean by the redbox code?
