If you did this, you’d walk away spending $16.97 out of pocket and still have $3 RR, $7 ECB, $2 from Checkout 51, $.75 from Ibotta and $1.50 from SavingStar. That means you’re walking having spent only $2.97 and you’ll be getting a bunch of stuff! If you have any RR or ECB to start with, feel free to change these deals to what will work best for you! These are just a jumping point. Happy shopping!
