i noticed my gbt tally did not update with this purchase. i sure hope this was a one-time glitch.
i didn't finish the excedrin deal today because i didn't have any more coupons on me. i'm hoping to find another $2.50 tearpad coupon at rite aid. but i have $15.27 towards the deal now, so worst case scenario i can get another excedrin for $4.79 and then receive the $10 eb wyb $20.
my cashier entered the free excedrin coupons at max value, but most cashiers will enter the selling price of the excedrin (if less than $5.99).
you can get an even better deal with the revlon if you buy 2 pks of nail files ($3.29 x 2 = $6.58 - $7 eb earned = $.42 profit less tax.) but i've been meaning to get an eyelash curler so i used this deal to get it cheap ($6.59 curler + $3.29 files = $9.88 - $7 eb earned = $2.88 + tax)
and the socks... well i have no explanation for buying those :)
