97% Savings
Disclaimer: as always I only include my OOP when figuring cost. This week I ended up with around $15 more in ECB’s than I started, next week I may end up with $15 less! It doesn’t matter – the OOP is the important part. I do let you know how many ECB’s I got so you can follow the transactions – but I don’t “count” them until they are used.
I split this into three transactions, which is why my OOP is over $1. Here is what I got:
Transaction #1
