If you did this, you’d walk away spending $39.54 out of pocket and still have $9 ECB, 1,300 points, $10 pre-paid gift card from rebate and $6 RR. That’s only $13.24 for everything and you’ll be getting a TON of stuff (including 8 bags/bottles of detergent and 8 boxes of cereal!) 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!
