@mistercheap Scott’s really should go into the sandpaper business.

@briarycliffs Yeah I’ve used Planet Green Electronics a couple times, the last time was the best.
I paid around $75 for “Canon 280XL lot of 300 Virgin Empty Ink Cartridges”, which works out to $0.25 each.
But the best part was that there was hardly any ink leaks, and 10 cartridges fit neatly into a small sandwich ziploc bag!
So much better that rooting around in that jumbled mess with odd sized and often leaky cartridges!

@mistercheap Is it just me, or is the “Purchases of gift cards are excluded.” sentence in the Details kind of shimmering?

@my4mainecoons Ok thanks, I’ll try following your plan!

@mistercheap Ok, so I haven’t done my monthly recycle for September of 20 ink cartridges yet, getting the normal $40 ($2 per) in Easy Rewards.

So can I go ahead and do that first, then come back with an additional 10 cartridges a day or two after, and get the extra $25 in Easy Rewards?

Also planning to recycle technology (old cable) for another few $ as well this month…

@mistercheap Great deal! I had already recycled 20 cartridges on the 2nd, getting my $40 in rewards. But took in an extra 10 cartridges today for another $25 in store money! And even got it credited to my account before I left the store! How cool is that? Not missing that old “second Thursday of the month” biz to get Staples rewards.!

@mtnagel Impressive! Plus I guess you scored Kroger Fuel points on all that as well!

Not sure how universal this is, but Kroger has a “Cash Back” option under “Savings” that lists a number of beers and wines, on which you must “load” (click on) to qualify. Cash back can be either “Paypal Only” or sometimes also selectable to load onto your Kroger Shopper Card.
Sometime after you buy the item (a couple days, typically) you’ll see “Cash Back Available” when you login to Kroger.

Recently I’ve had good success loading both a $5 Cash Back and $7 Cash Back offer on Michelob ULTRA, then buying a 24-pack of 12oz cans or bottles for $20.99. Then a couple days later in my Kroger account, I see a “$12 Cash Back Available”, which I direct to my PayPal account. Which is typically available there the same day, or the next.

I’m sure there’s plenty of other combinations available, perhaps even trying for a mail-in rebate with the same purchase…dunno. But this is sure simpler than most rebates, ie filling out forms, copying receipts, etc.

Sorry if this is already covered here somewhere–too lazy to search!

In Product details:
Batteries ‏ : ‎ 3 CR2032 batteries required.
Lol!
I’m ordering, but only because I have lots of CR2032 batteries… thanks Marvomatic!
