Picked up a Barilla Pasta Ready pouch that was clearanced 50% off to $1.09, used a $1 off L2C coupon and will get $1 back from Saving*. Look for other grocery stuff clearanced 50% and 75% off.

You do not use your minutes for Ibotta and can use only wi-fi. You can load the rebates you want at home and then return home to upload the receipt. I do sometimes turn on my data at the store because I forget what’s on my rebate list and the store’s wi-fi doesn’t usually work. It’s nice to have data in a rebate emergency.

You are right, the price did go up. The have the Rebel 2 with service and minutes on ebay directly from tracfone. https://www.ebay.com/itm/TracFone-LG-Rebel-2-4G-LTE-1-Year-of-Service-with-1200-MIN-1200-Text-1200MB/282914428443 This is the exact phone I had for 10 months and just bought an upgrade. The only problem is 8 gb is not very much room if you load up a lot of apps. I do like my apps. It’s a great little phone though. If you want to get in the smartphone arena the cheapest, buy the rebel 2 on ebay, it will last you for awhile until the service is almost up, then upgrade the phone next year. Or maybe HSN will have the rebel 3 on sale again in a few weeks.

Yes you could get rid of your flip phone and $14/month service. Tracfone runs on Verizon or AT&T towers, usually has great coverage. You can pay $59.99 at HSN, get a decent phone, a year of service that comes with 1,500 minutes, 1,500 texts, and 1.5g of data (turn off the data and only use it for emergencies). You can buy more minutes/texts/data if you need. That would be cheaper for you than $14 month you are paying right now. I would recommend this service for light users and it’s what I use. When your year of service is up, it’s cheaper to buy another phone with service and minutes included than to just buy a year of service.

Alternatively, you can buy a smart phone without a service plan from a local store or online, and just use it as a mini tablet. You can load apps and such on it, just can’t use it as a phone. You can also ask relatives or friends to give you their old phone and just use it on wi-fi and load apps without paying for a phone service.

There is a Tracfone LG Rebel 3 on HSN for $59, includes a year of service and 1500/1500/1.5g. That is what I use. It’s easier for me to buy a new phone, than find a used smart phone that may or may not work. You can also buy a really cheap smart phone at Dollar General or Kroger’s. Most any will do and you don’t have to buy the service.

There are $5 rebates on Ibotta for Mobil 1 & Mobil 1 High Mileage 5 quart jugs.

new kiwi and glade offers are up

Craftsman is a junk brand now, owned by Black & Decker. Lowe’s should stick with Kobalt, they look and feel better than the “new” craftsman. Still have my grandfather’s craftsman tools, now those are good.

Checkout 51 has a $4 rebate on them, as well as SavingStar. I finally found them today, can’t say they look very appealing. Think cheetos but instead of cheese, it’s peanut butter or peanut butter and chocolate.

BTW, the Easter candy deal in store at my local Kmart was still $5 in points on a $5 purchase, expires 3/31/18. I don’t know if it counts as a new deal or they just extended the last one. I picked up my 4th purchase, but didn’t want to try any more.

Also, no new freecash offers in the past few days, any one get any? I was really hoping for a shoes deal, but I think they know that and didn’t give me any new deals after loads of them last week.
