If you did this, you’d walk away spending $10.59 out of pocket and still have $4 ECB, $.30 from Mobisave, $3.50 RR and 80 Everyday Points. That means you’re walking away having spent only $2.71 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!
