-$3.50 ECBs from last week
Out-of-Pocket Cost: $.72 (paid with a reward gift card – so FREE)
ECBs Earned: $5.00 ($2 Almay, $2 Colgate, $1 Reusable Bag Tag)
This is the first $1 I’ve earned on my bag tag… Maybe I’ll start remembering to bring it with me more often!
I’m also learning that doing smaller, more simple trips is so much easier for me. If they happen to be out of one item, my whole scenario isn’t thrown off. Does that work for you? Or do you try to make each trip more worthwhile by getting as much as possible.
