Putting that Be Fine Overage to Good Use...

I think I'm done with the Be Fine Q after today's deals. I'm exhausted from planning deals, picking everything out in the store and then going to pay only to find out the store won't take the coupon. I've gone to three different RA's and been allowed to use the Q at two out of the three stores. One store allowed me to use it, then didn't allow me on another transaction, then allowed me on the third transaction (different days, different cashiers). Frankly, I'm beat! :)

RA #1

• 2 Be Fine trial sizes $1.99 each, used two $5 Be Fine coupons (from booklet) = $6.02 overage
• 8 St. Ives Elements cleaners/face scrubs $6.99 each, BOGO sale and used 4 BOGO coupons (8/10 SS) = FREE *These are with the facial care stuff (not body wash)
• 2 Garnier stylers $6
• Total was $2.66 - just the tax. In retrospect, I should have used two $1 Garnier coupons, but at the time, I was thinking my total would be lower and using these coupons would have brought me into the negative. I was surprised at how much the tax was on this transaction, but its still a great deal for all this stuff.

RA #2

• 2 Be Fine trial sizes $1.99 each, used two $5 Be Fine coupons (from booklet) = $6.02 overage
• Act mouthwash $3.99, used $1 coupon (8/3 SS) = $2.99
• 2 St. Ives Elements cleaners/face scrubs $6.99 each, BOGO sale and used 1 BOGO coupon (8/10 SS) = FREE
• 4 Lipton sides $0.99 each, used two $0.75 off 2 coupons (8/17 RP) - rounded out SCR #133
• Total was $0.48
