If you did this, you’d walk away spending $24.41 out of pocket and still have $7 ECB, 5,750 points, $13 RR and you’ll get $1 from Ibotta (for some). That’s a $2.34 moneymaker for everything and you’ll be getting a TON 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!
