Coupon purchase and P+G rebate

Yesterday I decided rather then buy a couple of papers I would go ahead and buy some coupons from eBay. I purchased $22.98 worth of coupons, however the majority of the coupons will yeild me free items. I purchased 270 coupons (in batches of 10-15-20) Some I will probably give to a few people. The nice thing about purchasing them this way is I don't need to clip or sort them myself, just file them away.

What will I get for free with these coupons?
A Lot of and by "A Lot" I mean between 10-80 of each item

-Reese Whips
-Gillette Shampoo
-Muir Glen Tomato Products
-Sweet Sue Chicken Broth
-Green Giant Veggies
-Muellers Spagetti


There is a rebate reminder that I found in this past weeks Proctor and Gamble coupon circular. I had originally seen the Buy $50 worth of Proctor and Gamble Products between Dec 15th and Jan 31st -and get $120 worth of coupons, but at the time I thought I don't buy that much of that brand. I saw the rebate form today and looked at a picture with some of the P&G brands shown. Then I started thinking. All of the Oil Of Olay soaps I was getting for free qualify and the Gillette Shampoo that was cheap and the Downy I purchased all during Super Doubles at HT a few weeks back qualify. I dug through my receipts that I have in a big box and found $35 worth of receipts. I then went and looked at the upcoming CVS forum for any P&G deals coming, sure enough there is Free Gillette Shampoo after coupon and ECB next week, limit 5...That is over $20 worth of P&G products and all I need!

I have also decided after having searched back 6 months of my ONE box of receipts I am going to seperate them by month to make it a little easier for me to find thing. I am a piler filer and I think I can make this simple change...hhhuuummm we'll see I guess.
