Just because it worked now doesn’t mean anything. Do you have the same email addy for both? They do find out and they do freeze accounts.

Thanks for letting me know.

And no, I try not to use the same email at multiple places.

@zerenia said in Woot Shirts $5.99 Ends 10/31:

Looks like you only get the $5.99 option if you buy something else first.

– Z –

Nope, it works just fine, you need to be on the final checkout page.

@marvomatic said in Woot Shirts $5.99 Ends 10/31:

@zerenia Did you look one the first Page of Woot, or the 2nd page of Woot?
Its only for the first page.

Woot has cheated me of shirts, many times! Its only when I showed them the bargain site, they refunded me of part of the money, but not all! Woot has become a sorry site!

What are you talking about? It’s only for the shirts on the linked page.

How have they cheated you of shirts? I’ve always had a great experience ordering shirts from them. The only issue I feel like the graphics don’t last as long as they should.

@briarycliffs said in 4 cartons of England's Best pasture raised eggs free after SB and c51 @shoprite:

Swagbucks and checkout 51 are the same company. That’s a good way to get both accounts closed. You can use one of those with Ibotta, however.

Where did you see that? I don’t think they are considering that the swagbucks app actually works and checkout51 breaks half the time and has very few offers.

Either way mine worked fine. SB didn’t take this one automatically, had to be reviewed, but I got the credit in a few days.

Shoprite has these eggs on sale for $3.99, buy 4 for $16, get 1000 points from SB (about $10) and $6.20 back from Checkout51.

If you don’t have swagbucks yet, you join using the official PhatWallet referral link: https://www.swagbucks.com/profile/r_8900909?rp=1

Still working for me this week, got another 2k points from fetch

Use code 35331

Need to spend $200. Combinable with $ off coupons for the other items.

Can also combine with 50% back in rewards on ink and toner (code 38207)

So pay $6, get back $2 ECB, $6 on Ibotta (ends today) and get another 4000 points on Fetch.
YMMV on the Ibotta points since it says no other coupons, but mine came through.

You can also try shopmium/Alexa, but those aren’t likely to go through.

Please use the referral links in the sig if you don’t have Ibotta/Fetch accounts yet.

@dangeruss Brands? Exp Dates?

Mostly Binax 2pks. Randon expiration dates - just found a few that expire in a couple of weeks, but I’m sure I got some better ones too.

Happy it is 4 per household. For those who have larger families and want more, they can ask family and friends with smaller families to send for the kits and then share their extras.

I have boxes of these left back when insurance was covering 8 per person, can’t even figure out how to sell them, I think still not allowed on Amazon and ebay

@mistercheap I guess it’s better than raising prime another $3

@dangeruss Since you quoted me I will reply. I posted it was not in my ad. Mistercheap decided to take a jab at me. At no time was I uncivil to him or to my4mainecoons.
Maybe you should scold them instead of me.

As @MISTERCHEAP helpfully pointed out, these sales are national. If you already knew this information, perhaps you could’ve included it with your initial post. If you didn’t, you can thank @MISTERCHEAP for pointing it out. There was no need to be snippy.

@mistercheap did I ask you to do anything about it? No, did not.

Let’s try to keep things civil. If you don’t want people responding to your posts, you can avoid making them. No need to bite people’s head off when they’re trying to help you.

@mistercheap said in Retailers are losing $100 billion a year from return fraud, bots and coupon stacking, study says:

Their definition of ‘coupon stacking’ is wrong. Someone creating multiple accounts via email to use the same ‘promo’ code to be a new customer again multiple times is not stacking. Stacking is using multiple coupons/offers on one order that can double dip on products, which typically is NOT fraud (ie, RA store coupon and Manu on same item). Obviously whoever wrote this article has no clue.

To be fair while they didn’t describe coupon stacking, it is possible coupon stacking is one of the things costing them money. And for example for things like CVS glitches where it would accept a CVS coupon (which can be manufacturer funded) and a manufacturer coupon on the same item, could be losing them a lot of money.

And you know RA is losing a ton of money with all the people rolling BC.

For the last three years, Robert has used a different email address to take advantage of a Black Friday Hulu promotion that most recently offered new customers a yearlong subscription for just $1.99 a month instead of the usual $7.99 monthly cost.

Why are they giving away my secrets

In another case, a top pet supply company based in the U.S. lost $3.5 million in the first quarter of 2023 alone after a small group of serial fraudsters exploited a promotion code for a 35% to 50% off discount.

Wonder if this was Pet Supplies Plus? They had 5 digit codes with nice discounts that were easily foundable online, but earlier this year switched to one time longer codes that are one time use.

@mistercheap Oh yes, I guess I screwed up my transactions this weekend - You only need to be over $15 after manufacturer’s coupons for the $5 off $15 to work, but over $20 before any coupons for the $6 in BC coupon to work.

@mistercheap don’t forget to combine with the $5 off. Also good deal with the colgate buy 2 for $3.99 each get $7 back limit 2. Get 4 colgate, clip $1 coupon (maybe get some IP). Make sure total is over $20 after MC, use $6 coupon above and $5 off $15 for a MM. Summer stuff is 90% off now and could be a good filler. Fans 75% off.

@my4mainecoons said in Rite Aid: $10BC on $20 Dove Products l 2, Bonus Cash Chlng Money, get $10BC on $50 spend as well:

@dangeruss I used an $8/$30 with 2 different $5/$25 the other day on an $80+ transaction.

I only got 18 off $70 Catalinas, which I guess is better than you $18 off $80, but you can do $15 off $65 or $10 off $40 with the $5 off $15

There’s still a working $5/$15 and at least one $5/$25

In Windows’ Task Manager > Performance, it shows how much of the Physical memory is being used for Cache. When Windows is Restarted (or Power on/off) the Cache is cleared out. Is there a way to clear out the Cache without restarting Windows?

TIA

Why would you want to?

@mistercheap someone said this is just restructuring to deal with the opioid liabilities

closing 450 stores is not restructuring from where we as deal seekers stand. no where to shop.

PS, look for them to cut costs like crazy too, including a lot of the deals we’ve been spoiled by IMO. 450 stores represents over 20% of stores, some areas I’m sure will no longer have an RA close by.

That’s less than 1/5th. Even around here that’s not going to make a huge dent.

I haven’t been able to get on for more 2 weeks. Since the messaging system has been broken for a long time my favorite seller told me to email her directly a while ago. I email her to ask if she has a q and pay her via PayPal. You could try using the Paypal email address of a seller you’ve worked with.

Is it time for me to build another knockoff web site?

CouponPhleaMarket.com
I mean can’t be that hard… I think I may have only used it once or twice. Can someone explain the main functionality of that site?

someone recently posted this on fb on one of the threads:
its been down for about a week now…initially it said they were upgrading some paypal issues…but nit sure why it would take this long

Their paypal account probably got flagged and stole all their money.

@mtnagel I have too many toilet papers, have 3 packs of 32 rolls each, any more would cause a sh*tload of problems! LOL I have a small coop, without a basement.

I’m still working through my pre pandemic stash. Why pay for toilet paper when you can get it from staples?

This is the toilet paper I use, this is the best one, of my many years of of wiping! LOL The Ultra Comfort in the purple package. The Ultra Comfort is 2 ply tissue.

The Ultra Clean, one in the blue package, is only 1 ply!

The only one we use here is Scott 1000. Anything else tends to clog up the pipes.

@mistercheap Thank you, that worked perfectly yesterday, even got an extra 50c Ibotta challenge bonus.

@mrvietnam New

You sure? I think this may be why we’re getting the rejection emails, you’re only allowed one account per household and it sees the old account.

Already got a there’s a problem with your submission email. Will see what the CSR says.

@my4mainecoons but I assume using store pickup would be a problem since it will reduce the prices? So something like this wouldn’t work?

@my4mainecoons the coupons won’t count against your spend for the rebate?

S&S to 4 of this item.
You should get the $15 off $50 applied too, if you haven’t used it yet.
Total should be around $30.

@my4mainecoons said in One family pocketed $7.6 million by taking cans and bottles from Arizona and recycling them in California. That's fraud, prosecutors say.:

I won’t bother to do the math but at 5¢ a can that’s a lot of cans.

Multiply by 20 so 156 million, which seems really logistically challenging. They aren’t super heavy - though that would be a couple tons. But they take up a lot of space. I guess less o if they are crushed like the picture shows.

You know what they say, pigs get fat and hogs get slaughtered. I bet there are thousands of companies doing this on a smaller scale.

@mtnagel said in Amazon Brand - Happy Belly Zero Calorie Yellow Sucralose Sweetener, 2000 Count - $23.14 ($19.67 w S&S):

I use splenda in my coffee and cereal. It’s an easy way to cut calories, which means I won’t be overweight, which is also bad for you.

I question the need to sweeten the coffee and cereal in the first place. Just adding milk to coffee makes it sweet enough.

With cereal, you would be hard pressed to find any cereal that isn’t already 90% sugar, and if you need to sweeten it, perhaps some berries? Maybe some honey.

I don’t think we have any hard data on this stuff giving you cancer, but probably a good idea to avoid putting chemicals in your food. I would maybe use Stevia, if I didn’t mind the aftertaste,

And like I said, try drinking the coffee without sugar for a few days, your taste buds will adjust, and you won’t miss it anymore.

@dangeruss said in Amazon Brand - Happy Belly Zero Calorie Yellow Sucralose Sweetener, 2000 Count - $23.14 ($19.67 w S&S):

Isn’t that the one that causes cancer?

latest reports have been on Aspartame which is Equal. Splenda is sucralose, so answer is no.

https://www.healthline.com/health-news/sucralose-a-common-artificial-sweetener-may-increase-cancer-risk#:~:text=In one test%2C researchers exposed,%2C oxidative stress%2C and cancer.

Honestly I think all the artificial sweeteners are probably going to cause some ill effects, just use sugar/honey in moderation. If you cut your sugar intake, your taste buds actually become more sensitive and you don’t need to use as much.

For example, I love sweets, but I have zero sugar in my house. I’ve got some honey but use it rarely. Some good jam. With all the added sugar in most of the commercial foods, I rarely find the need to sweeten them.
