a quick bargain from Ulta

I ran to Ulta today at lunch and spent $3.13 for $57.13 worth of cosmetics. Not too bad for a quick stop. I was only in the store about 15 minutes.















Here's how I did it:

1st Transaction:

Revlon Eye Shadow Quad x 2 @ $6.59 each
Max Factor Eye Trio x 2 @ 4.59 each

Subtotal for this transaction $22.36 plus tax
Less Revlon BOGO ($6.59)
Less Max Factor BOGO (4.59)
Less Ulta Coupon $3.50 off $10 purchase
Less Revlon $2 off any 1 Coupon x 2 ($4)
Less Max Factor $3 off any 2 Coupon ($3)

Brings us to $0.68 plus tax for a GRAND TOTAL of $0.72

2nd Transaction
Revlon Eye Shadow Quad x 2 @ $6.59 each
Max Factor Eye Trio x 4 @ 4.59 each

Subtotal for this transaction $31.54 plus tax
Less Revlon BOGO ($6.59)
Less Max Factor BOGO (4.59)
Less Ulta Coupon $3.50 off $10 purchase
Less Revlon $2 off any 1 Coupon x 2 ($4)
Less Max Factor $3 off any 2 Coupon x 2 ($6)

Brings us to $2.27 plus tax for a GRAND TOTAL of $2.41

Obviously I could have just repeated transaction 1 instead, but I had an extra Max Factor coupon and didn't need anything else there, so I rolled it into the transaction.
