I'm sorry ... it looks like nobody responded to your post yet.
Your strategy is OK. You are correct when you say that the batteries are the reason that your OOP is so high ... if you need batteries, then I understand why you would do that deal ... but this isn't a good price at which to add batteries to a stockpile ... too expensive, better deals will come your way. (Same with the deodorant by the way, you'll find super-cheap deodorant in another deal ... just be patient.)
As a general rule, when you're starting with a smaller amount of ECB (like you're starting with $1 ECB), you would be best off minimizing OOP by doing a number of smaller transactions. Anytime you're starting with $1 ECB, and you're going to try to use a $5/$25 coupon, you are likely to end up having to pay a large amount OOP.
Hope this helps, even though it's late ....
