Newbie Scenario
This scenario assumes you are starting with no ECB's. If you have ECB's use them to reduce your out of pocket on the first transaction. Remember, you can break this scenario up and go on different days - just know that it's good only for Sunday, Monday and Tuesday this week. If there is a line behind you, head to the back of it after each transaction so no one can grumble at you! If you follow this whole scenario you will end up with 12 products for just $1.89 out of pocket with $1.98 left in ECB's!! Yes, you read correctly -spend $1.89 and get 12 items and $1.98 back!
