We do not drink Pepsi, so I bought a bunch of chips to do this deal. We were out prior to this, so there will be no problem using them up before they go stale- I already used a bag for Girl Scouts snack~ Lays were $2/bag and Tostitos were $3. When you buy $20, you get $10 ECB back, so it's like paying $1 for the Lays and $1.50 for the Tostitos.
The Pantene was $4.99 ea. Used $3/2. Paid $6.98 and got $6 ECB back. I am well aware that I could have done this in 2 transactions- the Pantene first, then the Chips using the ECB's I got from the Pantene. That would have resulted in less OOP, but taken more time. When I did the math, it would have been $6.14 less OOP, but I would have $6 less in ECB's for next time. So, for me, $0.14 savings does not justify the extra time at the register.
OOP: $16.67 Got $16 ECB's back
Saved $$10.00 Used $7 ECB in addition to $3 mc
2009 OOP: $376.92
2009 Saved: $226.36
