I would not recommended doing 4 transactions at one store in one day. You can do two at one store and two at another store or on another day. If you do the transactions exactly as listed above, you will pay $8.21 for $17 items and have $2.00 in RR to spend later. Which is like pay $6.21 for it all! (That’s less than $.37 for each item!)

Pay 28.47 for 10 items and get $26.75 RR back. It’s like paying $1.72 for all 10 items! One big transaction is a higher OOP but possibly the better choice this week because you don’t have to get filler items so it’s a more profitable transaction.
