  It started soon after Covid19 started. Both Staples and OD stopped taking the cartridges in-store, and the recycle center (provided by Staples for shipping) is located in the worst-hit county in California.

  @cheerfuljam said in Can you "double dip" on a Big Lots's coupon?:

  For Big Lot’s $5 off $15 coupon (or any of their coupons), there is a unique code for use in store and a more generic code or online. Can I use both? For example, order something for instore pickup using the online code. Then use my instore coupon to buy more stuff?

  if the codes are different (one for online/one for store) I would think Yes. it is when it is a unique one time code for either (like how Staples does their rewards checks) that you can’t.

  That’s great news, MC. Now I can finally use the digital gift cards I bought on Fluz. All they gave me was a gift card number and PIN and most Burger King restaurants couldn’t redeem it without the magnetic stripe.

  @MrVietnam you can also now add BK GC’s to your Google Pay account as well as BK app.

  It looks like the unsolicited email about returning items was only for an order where items were out of stock.

  People do what they’re comfortable doing. When I placed my orders it occurred to me that I could order anything on the site for crazy high price. That was out of my comfort zone. Others have a wider zone.

  Anyway, its another week and I’m working on my RA.com orders.

  I didn’t receive my Ink Recycling Rewards. I recycled later in the month: 3/27. Just chatted. I gave rep the receipt number and I’m supposed to have the Rewards in 3 business days. We’ll see.

  Last month (?) I made an online purchase using 2 Rewards checks. I cancelled the order within 30 minutes. CSR said I’d receive both Rewards checks back. Only one came back. Chatted. They said they’d re-issue the missing Rewards check. It didn’t happen. Chatted again. It was finally re-issued.

  I’ve had such problem. Thanks for advice! I wanted to order a Wonder Woman costume with Adult Superhero Cape. But then I remembered that I have a gift card and I can use it. This is the first time I’ve ever had a card like this and I didn’t know how to use it, so your advice helped me a lot. Thank you. Now I’m thinking, I would like to get another gift card like this as soon as possible. This is very beneficial. And I can also participate in some contests and communicate with people. Very cool. I hope in the future, I will have such opportunities to buy more cool things for myself.

  It’s a puzzling strategy honestly.

  The current arrangement allows pre-sensitive shoppers (us) to get the best deal with a sale Kohl’s wouldn’t otherwise get vs most (unsavvy) shoppers getting occasional deals.

  I only buy when I can stack but as a retail exec I’m highly confident I’m still a profitable Kohl’s shopper when I do convert. Unlike now, when I’m unlikely to shop there at all.

  If I had to guess, I’d say this will be unwound well before Christmas.

  Might as well report it even if you’re under the $600 limit. Most people are taking the standard deduction these days anyway. It’s an even better idea to break down your ebay income with expenses, as mentioned for a side business for ebay.

  Unless you have a main job with taxes withheld, and any additional income from swagbucks or ebay would cause you to not get a bigger refund or if you have to mess with your withholdings.

  Keeping track of ebay income is relatively simple. Spreadsheets are free from Google Docs (personally, I pay for and use Office 365, but whatever floats your boat.)

  @c3 said in Question about Starbucks Cafe inside Alberstsons/Vons in SoCal:

  SD reports that for multiple items totaling $5, it would take off only the cheapest item.

  They must have fixed the glitch. Now I do not believe it has to be a single $5+ item, but rather any amount of items that add up to at least $5. I did the offer twice (on two J4U accounts). One time I got a $2.65 blueberry muffin and a $2.45 chocolate chip cookie and the $5 discount came off leaving me to only pay a dime. The next order I got 2 brownies for $2.95 each and the $5 came off and I only had to pay 90 cents OOP. Actually the brownies were marked as being $2.75 each, but rang up at $2.95 each, so I paid an extra 40 cents due to their pricing mistake. The cashier said there was nothing she could do about it, but the manager came in an hour or two. I thought not worth the trouble just for 40 cents.

  @ctujackbauer At this point I’d be curious to see a list of Sears and Kmart stores that are still operating and have NOT announced a closing date. It certainly was a “deal ride” during their SYWR points era, especially during the free shipping phase, points “rolling” offers, and so on. Hard to believe that business model didn’t pan out, lol.

  Our local Kmart store has been shuttered/vacant about 3 years now, and currently has a big tent set up in the parking lot that serves as an area Covid-19 vaccine center. Part of the New Normal I guess.

  So the pillows are clearanced on on BB&B. I bought some when I needed a filler for my order and I’ve gotta say, it’s pretty nice.

  They’re very comfortable, but I’m fairly sure they dry me out. Will have to decide if I want to keep them long term.

  The nice thing is they’re fully washable and dryable.

  @sonofzeus said in Need a deal on AirCare 1043:

  You never mentioned:

  your interest in bulk buy;

  Well we have 2 humidifiers, so I wanted at least 2.

  the value of your time is close to zero.

  To be fair, I accomplished most of the things while waiting for the kids to come back from TKD and/or driving, so I did not spend too much extra time on it. I’ve also never PMed at HD before, so at least it was nice to know the process and issues. It might help in future deals.

  Honestly, I probably spent less time on this than it would’ve taken me to actually go to a physical store, so I think it’s a win. I also wanted to use my HD gc, which I’m sure I bought at some discount previously, and I’ve accomplished that.

  It was very annoying that the reps wouldn’t straight up match menards. I wonder if it’s because the product was so much lower there (and way below MAP).

  Also I learned today that maybe the wicks I have right now aren’t so bad, but just need some maintanence.

  Regardless, I was able to get the brand name wicks for the same price as the knock off ones, so I’m happy.

  The pistachios were something like $4.59. I called the 800 number and talked to someone overseas who I couldn’t get the message through to of the difference between $2.00 versus $200.00. Oh well…

  Just ask him where you can buy a 7oz bag of pistachios for $200. Then ask for a supervisor and tell them you will be reporting them for false adverting. Contact BBB and CPB.

  I bought a Fire HD 8 on Prime Day a few years ago for $20 after the dust settled.
  Traded it in because Amazon gave me a $10 g.c. and $10 towards a newer model.
  Paid ~$20 for the 2020 model after that dust settled.
  Using it right now. Good deal for $20. Not sure it’s worth $50 unless they give you the one without ads.

  Even though 9 stores closed in California, my local store survived this round of cuts (This is reminding me of Sears and K-Mart closures.) Off topic, but I was in a Kmart the other day, the only one left open in the entire county, and what they have done is close the periphery areas of the store and consolidate all the merchandise into the center area. They did that because before when i was in there several months ago they had many empty shelves, so now they are making the store look more fully-stocked by consolidating the items they still have available.
