CVS Easy Step-by-step Scenario

Here's my scenario that I'm planning for this next week:

*6 Ragu spaghetti sauces 3/$5 x 2 = $10
1 Schick Quattro women's razor $8.99
2 Contour monitors $14.99 x 2 = $29.98
2 Crest Pro Health rinses $3.49 x 2 = $6.98
subtotal = $55.95

Use my CVS cpn $5 off $30 first.
Then use mfrs cpns:
-six $.30 Ragu (4/5 U)
-one Schick $4 (4/26 SS)
-two Contour $30 (3/22 SS) adjusted to $14.99
-two Crest $1 (5/3 P&G)

net subtotal =$13.17
Use $10 ECBs earned on the Coke last week.
oop $3.17 + tax

ECBs earned:
$10 Contour meters, $3 Ragu, $4 Schick, and $4 Crest = $21!!

**Buying Skippy would have lowered my oop by $.60, but I'm already stocked up on it!
