$6.87 for three boxes of Cheez-Its
-$0.87 price-matching for $2 each
-$0.12 credit-card cashback (3% on $4; for some reason Dad paid cash for the one I sent him to get)
-$0.40 for 20 cents per dollar back in loyalty points on a purchase of Cheez-Its (this only applies to one transaction, and every box was a separate transaction because:)
-$8.00 for a Swagbucks rebate offer of 2 *USD*† back in points on a purchase of Cheez-Its (one per person, and we have three account-holders in the household: I put every box on a separate receipt so we could each have one)
-$0.20 for three sets of daily-bonus Swagbucks we would not otherwise have qualified for (can't earn much there these days *apart* from occasional stunts like this: I've mostly moved on)
= -$2.72 for three boxes of Cheez-Its

†CAD/USD is stable enough that Swagbucks doesn't actually bother maintaining a live exchange rate: their rate is fixed at 0.75
