BUT my ECB for Jergens didn't print even though the employee I spoke to said it wasn't trial. I was skeptical so I brought an extra bottle of lotion up to the counter, just in case and thank goodness I did! The lady was super understanding and asked if I'd like to return that item and get the bigger size bottle so I could get my ECB. So I got a refund for my 3 oz Jergens with tax which was applied to the following transaction.

Breakdown (including weekly sales):
1 Jergens Ultra Heal 12.5 oz = 4.49

Coupons:
0.80 off for something

Total 4.05
Cash applied 2.31 (I'm assuming for the refund)
I gave her a 20 dollar bill and got 18.26 back in change
And my total was 1.74.

NO IDEA HOW THIS HAPPENED. I think on the refund, they subtracted the discounts received from my prior purchase since it was no longer included in my total. Not too sure about that. She gave me my refund slip but I guess I left it on the counter because I couldn't find it anywhere. No matter, that's still okay with me. Still a killer deal. As far as I'm concerned, getting that 5 ECB was more important than saving the amount I would have save from the 20% on that item.

Final Outcome:
Jergens Deal 3.59 (20% off already applied) + 1.74 (with tax) = 5.33, receive 5 ECB
Gilette Razor 9.79 (20% off)= 7.83- 3 q= 4.83, receive 4 ECB
Maybelline 4.19 (20% off)= 3.35 -2q= 1.35 (AMAZING deal)

Total SPENT:
4.26 + 1.74= 6 total, receive 9 ECB
So 6 bucks for $22.96 worth of stuff or 74% savings.
Since I put 6 ECB into this transaction and got 9 ECB out.
My total cost after ECB's gained was technically $3.00.
No idea how. No idea why. I'm just happy with the results.
