  @briarycliffs said in Current Tracfone Deals / Discussion thread:

  HSN - LG Rebel 4 16gb, with 1200 m, 1200 txts, 1200 mb data, and 365 days of service for $79.99.

  How do you think this compares with getting two LG Fiesta 2 phones for $80? The Fiesta 2 also has 16GB and 1 year of 1200/1200/1200 service. Which is a better phone (i.e., is one Rebel 4 much better than two Fiesta 2s)?

  Android 8.1 on the rebel vs. 7 on the fiesta. Biggest thing is the t-mobile network is not good in the country areas. Didn’t a poster have an issue getting 2 phones? I like the fiesta, I’m using it now. But I also like the rebel. Like I said in the other thread, the t-mobile network is useless to me.

  Thanks, I’ve been Googling but still didn’t come up with some of this info. I didn’t know what network the Rebel 4 was on, but I do like that the Fiesta 2 handles both GSM and CDMA, and has a slightly larger screen. The poster with the issue getting 2 phones paid despite not seeing the discount in the cart (i.e., when the discount didn’t appear when he added 2 to his cart, instead of walking away, he paid for 1 phone but expected 2 based on the product description). As I posted in that thread a little while ago, they’re offering the B1G1 free again and I just tested it by adding 2 to my cart… the 50% discount was correctly applied.

  @cheerfuljam said in Any coupon code to get Los Angeles Times for cheap?:

  I was able to talk OC Register to give me 52 wks 7-day delivery for $39.58 (the same amount I paid last year) but the best I can do is $2.50 per week with LA Times. Any valid code to get it down to $50 for 52 wks?

  I get the Sunday OC Register for $1 a year (about 2 cents a Sunday). I used to get the LA Times for 19 cents a Sunday, but now it has increased to about 33 cents a Sunday. I don’t know how to get it cheap for 7-day delivery though.

  @niniss said in CVS Stores: ECB's and ridiculous policies - BEWARE:

  CVS has become a disgusting, customer-ripping company, period! They use their coupons or extra bucks to entice the clueless customers in and then rob them blindly. I really wish there will be a class action against them!

  you should read the horror stories people are posting in the SD thread.

  an example:

  Customer bought 2 shampoos, cashier scanned one bottle twice (charged for 3), paid with coupons/ecb’s etc.

  So after receipt prints, sale over, realizes charged for item not even on order. they gave them back less than the item rang up because of the receipt calculation nonsense. I mean that is just crazy.

  First tablet I ever bought was a Hisense Sero 7 pro from WalMart. I believe they were the exclusive vendor for the product and sort of equated Hisense with WalMart like Insignia with Best Buy. Worked great until one day it wouldn’t power up. Still have it and will explore further at some point (already checked battery).

  This is at their Smith’s Supermarkets, starting April 3. The swipe fees charged by Visa are too high, according to Kroger. Who knows if they’ll attempt to roll it out to their Kroger branded stores. I don’t use a CC for groceries or for most other purchases, but I have very rarely experienced an occasion when I forgot I was out of checks or didn’t have enough cash with me and ended up reluctantly using my no-reward-but-extremely-low-interest-rate CC, but I know a lot of people put everything they can on their CC in order to earn more rewards.

  Huh, I haven’t noticed the location difference. For example, I would see a lower price in the app when I’m in the store so I just ask them to match the online price.

  Lauren Hirsch  /  Jan 8  /  Retail Sears to shutter after 126 years in business as Chairman Eddie Lampert's bid fails

  Eddie Lampert's $4.4 billion offer was Sears' only shot at staying alive and preserving 55,000 jobs. But the bid ultimately came up short.

  Court allows Chairman Eddie Lampert another chance to buy Sears, pushing off decision to shut stores

  Eddie Lampert’s $4.4 billion offer was the only bid that could keep the company going in its entirety.
  Sears, which also owns Kmart, filed for bankruptcy in October.
  ESL plans to contest Sears’ decision, pointing to the money its spent on advisors.

  99% of the coupons Catalina spits out at me at the register are useless to me… a colossal waste of paper and ink. I always wish they’d give me coupons on things I’ve actually bought instead of trying to guess or to get me to buy tangentially/completely unrelated stuff I’d never buy. Just today I left 2 such “useless” coupons at the self checkout in case anyone else was interested in them.

  I’ve never even heard of Mambo Sprouts but it sounds like something I would have enjoyed using their service. Too bad.

  I found an article from mid-October announcing the closure of the Ridgedale and Rice Street stores, so, it looks like just the Sears appliance store and small Hometown Stores on the extreme outskirts of the Twin Cities metro area will be left for @mom2jel to shop at…for the moment…

  I can’t even begin to imagine what $$$$$ rents the MOA commands, @my4mainecoons; however, with over a million shoppers crossing its threshold every year, I can well imagine that there are a lot of major stores salivating at the prospect of taking over the prime real estate now occupied by Sears…

  @jbw said in Counterfeits:

  Re: [USPS Postage Rates Going up Jan 27](2019. Buy Forever Stamps to save 10% Later)

  Counterfeit stamps on eBay? I heard of postal employees selling stamps stolen for their jobs. I heard that there is UV ink on real stamps to thwart counterfeits, but any evidence you can provide about eBay stamp selling counterfeiters would be appreciated.

  Please do not create a new thread to reply to an existing thread/topic. I suggest that you copy your OP above as a reply to the USPS Postage Rates thread now, if that is what you intended to do.

  FYI: Do not click the “new” button to reply to threads. Instead, open the thread you want to reply to and either a) click the “reply” link in small blue letters directly underneath a specific post/person you want to reply to, or b) click the huge blue “reply” button at the top or bottom of the page to post a general reply in the thread that isn’t directed to anyone in particular. The “new” button is only for creating brand new thread about a deal that has not already been posted (and makes you the original poster/OP or first poster for a thread).

  Let me know if you have any questions or need any help with the above. TIA.

  @mistercheap As long as they still send out the birthday coupons… though those seemed to have stopped. Is that in there somewhere?

  Didn’t see mention of it, the free drink Q at 200 points remains the same.

  No, I mean the birthday coupon. They seem to have stopped coming. As well as the ones for when you sign up for an account. Used to come via email, now you have to actually log into the account.

  @dangeRuss yes I know what you meant, I said I didn’t see reference to it (that it was d/c’ed). then there was a comma, discussing the free from points earned beverage. Gotta brush up on your punctuation!
