*If you pass up on the chocolate, 
your total is $15.36 with $19.99 in ECBs, 
making your purchase a $4.63 Moneymaker! (*See reminder below)
Awesome!




*Reminder:
A cashier never hands you money back. In these scenarios, you have made money in the sense that you are leaving the store with MORE ECBs then you came in with or with more ECBs then you paid in cash.
So if you did the above scenario with cash, you pay $15.36 (before tax) and the cashier will hand you $19.99 in ECBs for your next purchase.
Or you can use your ECBs from last week to pay for that $15.36 (before tax) and go out of the store with those extra ECBs*

Oh- and remember- you are always paying tax! You can't use your ECBs to pay for tax. But still, 7 cents on the dollar for all this freeness....I really can't complain! And of course, the tax is taken on your total AFTER coupons...so you are only paying tax on your post-tax, pre-ECB-usage purchase.
