@c3 said in Free BOTTLE of SB Frappuccino with J4u FreshPass, YMMV:

Another store has 75% off, but that’s from the regular price of $16.99, so $4.25 for 10 K-Cups.

Found two boxes with 50% off stickers. With just one box, the total became negative: $4.25 * 0.5 - $3 = -$0.88. So I bought both boxes for $1.25.

The only problem is that if you drop the cart down below $30 then you have to pay the minimum order fee. So instead of a minimum of $35 for $78 in groceries the least I can pay is $30 for $98 worth of groceries including a Frapuccino.

A different account received a $10/$10 for online orders. Have to spend $30 to avoid the minimum order fee. Considered not using it but found something on sale that I can actually use. After the sale and spending Bonus ended up ~50% off.

Why did the program end?
The CF&V EBT Pilot Project was a limited-term project. The funding to run the program ended on January 31, 2025. With additional funding, the program is expected to restart. More updates to come soon.

The bail is set too low. They belong to jail and rotten away.

think this was related to your RA gc issues?

@mistercheap yes, you can unclip. I “think” that it was @niniss who explained how.

@my4mainecoons said in IBOTTA: BOGO Blue Diamond 6oz Tin Almonds ($2.99 fixed) at many major chains:

Please let us know if the offer re-sets.

so far, it has not.

@mrvietnam I saw that along with another 2% on my account and I happen to need to buy some expensive tooth whitening products but I was lazy and didn’t go to the store on that day. The next day I made the large purchase and ready to submit the receipt. To my surprise only the 2% was showing , the 10% disappeared! ! Gosh, I can’t believe it was that short lived.

@mrvietnam said in Sav-A-Lot Supermarkets up to 20% Cashback via UPSIDE App YMMV:

I thought the upside app was just for gas stations and restaurants. Do they also give cash back at grocery stores?

Yep

I guess then it depends on the area in which you live. In my area there is no supermarket tab lister.

@mrvietnam Please report the $10 Giftcard choices.

I will have to wait until my receipt is approved and then they will let me know what the gift card choices are, but once I know, I certainly will pass it on

This morning I got the e-mail that let me know that I earned the $10 virtual Visa gift card. That was the only redemption option was to get a virtual Visa. Once activated, the gift card is valid for six months…I received the gift card immediately after activating.

Note that this rebate has a limit of one per household.

The P&G Back To School rebate is live now. Could work well with this Target GC deal. I’m going to buy the Zevo corded bug catcher. It’s $37.99 at my Targets and I have a $7 off Target circle coupon for it. It’s eligible for both the Target and P&G offers.

Rebate post

@mrvietnam yes, they were 5¢ a scoop when I was a kid.

I wish I could find it.

I submitted the receipt to aisle and got another $3 back.

The 6 CVS stores within 4 mile radius of our HQ are safe for now.

On doctor’s advise, we’ve cut our caffeinated beverage consumption about 90%.

I got 7 Lean Cuisine $4.49 with 50% off stickers.
7@ $4.49 = $31.43
50% came off.
$10/$30 came off.
Account specific Bonus Path $2/$20 frozen came off.
Total $3.71 oop (53¢ ea.) for one of my favorites-- Butternut squash ravioli.

My local Shaw’s is small so they don’t carry full lines. If they receive a shipment of something not in their Plan-o-gram they mark it 50% off. The same item is full price at big Shaw’s, a few miles away.

Pretty sure the eggs that are $5.99 at Costco aren’t the organic pasture raised eggs. I don’t think they even sell those at our Costcos. I think MrV/CheapCharlie is talking about the 2 dozen Kirkland Signature large cage free eggs.

Did a similiar deal today.

@ctujackbauer said in checkout51 terms of service update - 180 days of inactivity will charge $3.99 monthly against account balance:

I finally ran into this because of the lack of appealing offers (to me) or video watching for pennies offers.

Checkout51 will send you a heads up email and you have 30 days to redeem a new offer or watch your balance evaporate.

what’s amazing is, this is the app Shopmium sent its former users to as a ‘great replacement’. Luckily I did redeem an offer last month on CO51, not sure where I’m at towards $20 to cash out again, but it’s been, on average, taking a FULL YEAR to hit $20 to cash out which is a joke. Compare that to IBOTTA where I routinely have $20 each month to cash out. Not only that, the offers seem to get ‘depleted’ on CO51 far faster than any other coupon app I’ve ever used.

ALL - just got a text inviting me to get another bag free, same redemption method.

I was at my local Rite Aid yesterday for my covid vaccine. Shelves were pretty empty.

Could they be any more stingy? These kits look to be about $7 and all they give you is a $1.89 taco?

@kimi I ❤ the FoodSaver jar attachment. I put chips & crackers, open cheese, produce, etc. in wide mouth quart jars then seal. The jars & lids can be reused forever.

I wonder how many of these stores used to be Rite Aids.

I haven’t looked recently but the Walgreens subreddit was filled with employees complaining about conditions including Pharmacists and Pharmacy techs.

@Marvomatic please remember all grocery chain coupons printable or digital go in the grocery/drugstore forum

I waited til today to cancel, as this shows, your fresh pass benefits continue to the date the annual plan expires. So clip your $5 June Coupon, and cancel, June $5 FP expires on 6/15 rather than 6/30 so be sure to redeem it prior to expiry.

FreshPass®
Your current FreshPass plan has been cancelled per your request, you can still continue to use FreshPass until 6/15/2024.

@mrvietnam said in Free after VENMO rebate (text submit) BUBL'R 6 pack sparkling beverage at Kroger/Target and other stores (see link for locator):

I still had to pay around 88 cents for this free product. They charged CRV and then I had to pay sales tax, so still almost 15 cents a can.

They have as much caffeine as a cup of coffee but not as much as a can of Rockstar or Monster.

That’s the case with any beverage rebate like this in CA Mr. V. at 88c you have to decide if its worth getting, and that’s your own preference. I have to pay tax too, but not CRV. Haven’t gotten this yet, don’t get to Target very often.

I’ve had an account for a long time but have never done the surveys and stuff. How long does it typically take get enough pts for the $5 gc (without submitting receipts)?
