I often say something cost $5 if it was $10 and I got $5 ECB, but I always use ECB's to pay for my products so technically it was free, not $5. :) Normally the only thing I end up paying is tax which is less than $1 most times. I have been messing up at CVS lately though, but I was building up a ton of ECB's so sometimes I just have to "waste" them. By "waste" I mean buy products that don't give me ECB's back. I am curious like Nichole - How do you keep it updated on your blog? is it a spreadsheet online, or do you update your sidebar each time you go to the store?

But that was like 8 months ago lol. I am thinking of starting the beg of the year to start afresh and start to track it all. How did you start that? A spreadsheet? I have a question about tracking ECb's and OOP costs but cant form it into a question right now. It would make a whole paper full of rambling to get it out and I dont feel up to typing that much right now. LOL Maybe I will get it to it later if I rememeber. Thanks! Have a Merry Christmas!!! Nichole I get it! :-D
