Total product $53.93    Total OOP $1.75    Total Savings 96%

Ohh, football. I can only take so much in one week until I run screaming from the house (okay, i wasn't screaming...but you get the point.) I went through my coupon envelopes (new post coming soon, showing my new system) when I found a coupon for a FREE Suave lotion that expires on 9/4.

Total Product $53.93
Total coupons used $46.46
Total after coupons $7.47
I paid with a $20.00 Target gift Card that I bought for $5.00 (no longer available)
Total OOP - ZERO!

$7.47 is approximately 35% of the $20 Gift Card, so 35% of $5.00 (what I paid for the gift card) is $1.75
I therefore assume I paid $1.75 OOP for this order
(Any mathematicians want to check me on this, please do....I'm hardly a math whiz!)
