Good ECB deals (a good way to get started)

I usually have a $10/$50 so I don't usually break up the transactions. But if you want to get going with the ECB's and not be too much OOP(out of pocket,) the best way is to find something that will be free or a money maker after ECB's.


Right now you can get the AccuMeter (glucose meter) for 9.99 with 9.99 in ECB's.

Also buy 2 Cover Girl Wetslicks for 5.99, use your B1G1 free coupon, and use your $1 off, get two for 4.99 and then you will recieve 5.99 in ECB's.

So the best way to do this is to do the covergirl deal, them use your 5.99 in ECB's to buy the monitor.

So here it is...
2 wetslicks 11.98
-B1G1 free 5.99
-$1 mfg q
OOP 4.99 plus tax
Receive 5.99 in ECB's

Monitor-9.99
-5.99 in ECB's
OOP $4 plus tax
Receive 9.99 in ECB's

So you walk away with a monitor, 2 wetslicks, and 9.99 in ECB's, only having spent 8.99 plus tax.
