In the second transaction if you have the product for $6.99-$1.50 coupon-$1 ECB from the 1st transaction, then your total is $4.49 OOP not $3.50! :P
Just an FYI, the Excedrin Extra Strength tablets are actually $8.99 for the 100 count at my CVS. I used the $.75/1 Excedrin coupon on the $6.29 (20 ct.) Menstral Complete and got the $5 ECB so it came out to 54 cents.
Thanks to both of you, it was our understanding from the type up that all of them were the same price. Sorry for the error.
