Feb. 27 Shopping Trip
I have $13.33 in Extrabucks remaining from Feb. 21 shopping trip.

I purchased some items that didn't generate any Extrabucks, but because of overage (money you "get back" because your coupons are worth more than the product) everything still ended up being free PLUS I was able to get a Sunday newspaper!  I spent $1.15, and that's only because you are required to pay tax on all items before coupons and Extrabucks.
