@my4mainecoons said in Staples Rewards (ALL, not YMMV) Recycle 10 ink carts, get $25 in rewards. must activate offer ex 8/31:

@mistercheap IDK if its still this way but initially if you recycled eg 10 ink & a tech item you’d receive credit for 9 ink and the tech. The system counted an ink towards tech. I don’t want to give my regular 30 and get credit for 10 @ 500 and a tech item. I’m going to use the pre-loaded offers before the regular one.

Yea I always do the tech first in a separate transaction and then the ink. If you do them back to back yiu can double dip on the tech recycling sometimes too.

@niniss said in Boar's Head deli meat recall due to listeria outbreak:

@ctujackbauer shot, I just bought some Friday. so what am I supposed to do, bring the food back to the store?

Yes. Although are you sure it’s on the product list? If you bought it Friday, most of those on the product list are past the sell-by date.

So the recalls are mostly useless. By the time they do the recall you’ve either already eaten some of the product or the stores have thrown it out.

@dangeruss Does the hibiscus drink have caffeine?

@ctujackbauer So that explains all the new coupon codes for food.
I’d like to see a 50% off coupon for lobster rolls.

No caffeine and fairly low on sugar/calories

Cheaper menu items, more sugary items and this offer-- doesn’t sound like they’re doing well.

I quite like the new hibiscus drink

@dangeruss I have seen it work at RA but at RA it’s play money. The Ibotta is $1/1 and I’d rather have $2 back than maybe just save 50¢/2. Grocery store items rarely have “no mq” specified vs. WM often has it. This is the first time I can recall seeing the exclusion for a supermarket chain.

I’ve seen a bunch of them and I don’t think I’ve ever had a problem. On the other hand ibotta likes to go in and edit things after the fact with no notification sometimes.

Ibotta specifically excludes q use so won’t use the 50¢/2 j4u eQ.

Have you ever seen it not work with Qs?

@my4mainecoons said in Finish Dual Action Dishwasher Cleaner: Fight Grease & Limescale, Fresh, 8.45oz $1.74 S&S:

@dangeruss Excellent. Its taller than my Shop Vac but has ~ same footprint. I don’t use a lot of water so need less than a bag of salt ($8) a year. Last year my mixing valve was starting to stick again. Checked the water softener and sure enough, it was low on salt. Added salt and the valve un-stuck. I add a 40# bag of salt at a time. Recently got salt free on FB Marketplace and both “sellers” had an open bag with a scoop used so they must add a scoop at a time.

I have no way of knowing how much the softener has extended the life of my appliances but it’s eliminated plumber visits. It’s supposed to have annual servicing but I haven’t done that.

Did you do the plumbing yourself, or have someone do it? What unit is it and how much did everything cost?
