After shopping at both stores, you’ll walk away spending $8.43 out of pocket and you’ll have $5.50 ECB and $1.49 in RR left over. That’s only $1.44 for everything! 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!
