I was cashed out completely but jumped back in yesterday using RA gc to pay. I had <$75 but might as well use them now. Waited for new BCC month. Arranged to get 70 NT vitamin E at my favorite store. Bought NT and cover girl Q’s.
To start I got 3 cover girl face makeup 75% off ($2.49), used 3@$3/1 CG face and added a filler to cover the “o”. Favorite filler was WD-40 8 oz. 75% off ($3.74). Paid $2xx on gc, earned $10 BC.
Then got 16 NT vitamin E sticks using 4@$3/2, 4@$1/1 and 4@ $2/1. Added a filler (Lindt bars or Pringles) to reach $30 and use the $10 back wyb $30. Paid ~$6, got back $12.
3rd transaction: 6 NT, Tide Pods and Lindt or Pringles. $30xx. Used 3@$3/2 NT and the $10/$30. ~$10 oop on gc. Got back $22. Collecting Tide receipts for the $15/$50 P&G rebate so didn’t use the L2c.
Net ~$15 oop on gc x 4, have ~$15 in BC on 4 cards. Will get $15 P&G rebate, resell the Tide, WD 40, Pringles & NT.
Since I haven’t been shopping have reasonable BCC offers, e.g. $15BC for 6 $15 visits.
My stores haven’t been on the lists but the shelves are pretty empty.
