Thanks Mr. C.
I just stopped at the drive-up at a Wendy’s in upstate NY. The menu priced the double stack at $2.69, so I asked if they were selling them for $1 and was told yes. When I got to the window and asked if you have to mention the $1 deal to get that price, the girl laughed and said, “Yes, we’re not supposed to advertise it…it’s a secret”. So it’s like the summer promo they’ve run in the past where any kid’s meal is $1.99…unless you don’t ask, then you get charged full price.

When I received my second dose I was told “don’t laminate it!” because they won’t be able to write on it if/when we receive booster shots. They said to instead make a photocopy or scan both sides, place back to back, and laminate that. Then carry that with you and keep the original in a safe place.

Just received an email from Staples for $10 off a $10 in-store purchase. Offer good till Feb. 29 (this Saturday).
Here’s the fine print:

We have several extremely high-risk family members from age 6 to 94, so we can’t take Covid 19 lightly. When things started going downhill back in April we started using disinfectant cleaners at home and disinfectant wipes when out, for wiping down a credit card after using it, etc… Thought we were being careful till we found out that most disinfectants have a much longer “contact time” than we realized (the amount of time a surface needs to stay wet in order to kill the virus). Most need at least a few minutes. According to the CDC website, even Lysol spray which is one of the few the EPA has recommended so far and is probably the holy grail of disinfectants, needs at least 2 minutes to be effective. But 70% rubbing alcohol needs only 30 seconds. These wipes are 75%, so they’ll be perfect for keeping in our car to use when we’re out.
Thanks so much Mr. C.

This is one of the CDC’s recommended hand sanitizers.
If you don’t need this quantity, one of these 8 oz. bottles is the same unit price at Target ($1.98).

I made two in-store purchases at two different Lowe’s this week and at the bottom of both receipts is a coupon offering “$5 off your next in-store purchase of $25, valid 5/17 - 5/20”. Needs to be used at the same store where the coupon was issued. I was told the offer will still print on receipts through today; not sure if will end then. Can’t be combined with any other coupons or discounts, but you can still save even more by paying with a Lowes gift card from this week’s Dollar General deal.

TY. How much did you spend on each receipt? I’m wondering if there is a minimum spend required to get the $5 off $25 offer. It would be great if you could buy a $1 item to get the $5 off $25 receipt offer then using it with your 15% off Dollar General GC since, at 20% off, that would be better than stacking with a 10% off coupon.

One purchase was $24.26 before tax, the other $28.80.
Also, I just returned from another trip to Dollar General to buy another gift card, and noticed two things. Their gift card selection was different from those in the ad above, and their sign listed the qualifying 15% off cards as Gap, Old Navy, Kohl’s (I think), and a few others. No mention of Lowe’s, but the 15% automatically came off the Lowe’s cards I bought. Also I didn’t pay with cash, I used the MasterCard tied to my checking account and there was no problem with that.

Stopped by our local Kohl’s yesterday and like last year at this time, buried toward the back wall of their men’s department were tons of random gift items all sticker priced from 60% to 90% off. Eclectic mix, to put it mildly, from the useful (sets of mens Game of Thrones socks, Star Wars pajamas, travel toiletry bags, mens slippers, grooming sets, texting gloves, bag hook for attaching a purse or bag to a table or shopping cart, gadget to magnify the screen when watching movies on your phone, games, books, screen cleaners, playing cards, toddler’s inflatable pool floats, desk accessories, back scratchers, head massagers) to gag gifts (GIANT wine glasses, drinking games, beer holders, coffee mugs with funny sayings on them, some kind of big inflatable deer or bear game where you try to toss things into a hole on the side). Much, much more. Some “only” 60% or 80% off but probably half the items were 90% off. Saved another 30% because I had a peel and reveal discount coupon for Kohl’s credit card holders that arrived via snail mail a week or two ago.

The Member’s Mark trunk organizer for $14.98 (reg. $19.98) on page 6 is one of the best purchases I ever made. Unlike other organizers I’ve used, this one “accordions” to the number of compartments you want, either one, two or three. When you want it out of the way, you can fold it practically flat and fasten it shut with the Velcro fasteners. Comes with a nice size padded cooler that you can use separately or set down in one of the compartments. Also has inside and a zippered outside pocket. Does a great job of keeping groceries and car paraphernalia from rolling around in the back of our car.

Deals like this are a great way to inexpensively pick up personal care items to donate to places like women’s shelters. Thanks OP.

“This item is unavailable right now”. PhatWallet effect strikes again.

I got a 40% off code I’d have missed if I hadn’t seen your post. Thanks!

I bought this same bundle at Walmart last year; well worth it. Used the cooler at our ungodly hot 4th of July party last week, and it’s so well insulated that with only a few blocks of “blue ice” the drinks were still cold 24 hours later (and the “ice” was still mostly frozen). Strong enough to double as extra seating too. As for the tumblers, they keep drinks cold just as long as my husband’s much more expensive Yeti; I know because out of curiosity we tested them to see how long it would take the same amount of ice to melt, and the difference was negligible.

Went on a wild goose chase to a store that showed 2 of each in stock. None to be found. Employee working in that department mentioned someone had already called this morning to see if they had them, plus before I left I overheard another customer asking about them. The deal must be fairly well known. Oh well, at those prices it was worth a try. Thanks anyway OP.

@kohlspowrshopper said in GE StayBright 100-Count 24.75-ft Multicolor or Warm White Led Plug-In Christmas String Lights Led Plug-In Christmas String Lights $4.98 + Free S&H w/ MyLowes @ Lowe's:

I’m looking for solar-powered string lights, but couldn’t bring myself to paying $45 for a 100-light string the other day…

Looks like Lowe’s has a 450-count, 102.5ft string of white lights for just $13…

Will have to check those out…

If you do end up trying solar-powered, I hope you have better luck than I did. Bought several strands on Amazon thinking they’d be perfect for areas of our yard with no nearby electrical outlets. Two important details I didn’t think of ahead of time: Shorter December days mean less charging time (plus here in the Northeast, we’re lucky to see sunshine one day a week). And it gets dark so early the lights come on at 4:30 pm then shut off before 9:00 pm. The type I bought are great in the summer but worthless at this time of year.

@midori said in Easy Spirit Women's Select Leather Shoes (various) $5 + Free Shipping:

Sounds like a steal, but daaaang shop with caution! At $5 i’ll let my wife decide if she wants to gamble.

Kinda wish I’d read those before I pulled the trigger…
Oh well, glad most were just not my style so I only bought two pairs. If they don’t work out (or fall apart a week later), at least I’m only out $10 and some change.

also beautiful hanging baskets reg. $10.98, each now 2 for $9.

UPDATE on hanging baskets at Lowes: Stopped back at the same store, many more varieties available today…zinnias, vinca, torenia, impatiens, petunias…

Looks like all three are sold out online. Does anyone know if the in-store price is the same? Thanks.

Price has dropped to $2.96.

I bought a few boxes of these. I’ve heard of three ways to see if these are effective so I tested a mask and it passed with flying colors:

1. Can you blow out a flame while wearing it? Nope…it didn’t even flicker.
2. When you hold a flame to the inner layer does it melt instead of burn? Yes.
3. And recently (per Dr. Oz): Does it hold water? Yes…waited a good 30 seconds and not a drop leaked through.

Maybe there are other methods to test these masks but so far these seem perfectly good. We’ve gone through about half a box and so far no issues (not even the occasional broken earloop that sometimes happened with others I bought earlier). At this price kind of a no-brainer to stock up, keep a box in the car, etc…
Here in upstate NY our area was doing really well up until last week…and now our numbers are skyrocketing. Last week we had 53 active cases, today we have over 300.

(Great timing for me. Now that I’m having to wash my hands about 50 times a day, I’m going through moisturizing lotion like crazy.)

This is a great deal. I’m slightly embarrassed to admit how many years I bought this in smaller spray bottles, till I realized a few months ago I could save a ton of money buying this and refilling the spray bottle. It can be diluted 5 parts water:1 part Lysol and still sanitize and disinfect. This size bottle will last a LONG time.

Just a heads-up:
I didn’t realize I still had a card on file with Walmart till a $13.99 charge hit today for a 1-month Walmart membership. Too late to do anything about this month but did cancel going forward. Might want to check your account to make sure you don’t make the same mistake.
Trial membership with free shipping was great while it lasted but we just don’t order enough to justify $13.99/month.

@ctgolfer
Just a reminder: registration started today.

@shantastic said in Kohls.com Free Shipping at $25, One Day xtra 20% off Toys Code, 20% off general code, $10/50 apparel (stackable):

There’s also a Retailmenot cash back $15 back on $75 and $20 back on $100. I used TURKEY20 for 20% off and SATURDAY for $10 off $50. My purchase total was $100.32 before tax. I got $30 Kohl’s cash. Let’s see if I will get the $20 cash back from Retailmenot.

Thanks for mentioning that. Kohl’s had been included as one of the Retail Me Not cash back stores earlier in the week, but for some reason was removed from their list yesterday. Glad to see it’s back.

As of today Kohl’s IS included again ($15 on $75, $20 on $100). Great!

Thanks OP. We’re actually in the market for a new car.
FYI, I clicked on the link you provided and immediately the offer popped up. You can also choose which model you’re interested in testing; there was nothing that said it was limited to the Kona.

Great price, great reviews. Thanks OP!

Plenty in stock within a 60 mile radius but all at $109.00.

Thanks so much OP. These look like just what I need; ordered a bunch for local pickup. Tired of trying to carry a flashlight while crawling around in our dark attic or walking into our unlit detached garage or garden sheds wondering what new little “friend” has moved in and might fly, scurry or slither by in the near-dark.

If anyone’s near the booming metropolis of Oneonta, NY (zip code 13820), their Lowes is showing 35 in stock @ $1.59.

Picked up my order, nice light that will work where I need it but dear Lord they need to fire whoever packaged this thing. Impossible to force the 6 AA batteries into the battery compartment so in frustration I checked the reviews and sure enough, saw that I wasn’t the only one. Turned out two screws in a small plastic bag are included, and some Einstein decided a good place to put them would be in an inaccessible, unseen area at the very bottom of the long battery compartment where they were stuck. (Same thing happened with the second one I opened…they were stuck at the bottom even before I tried to put in the batteries.) Had to use a tiny Phillips head screwdriver to remove 5 screws on the back of the flashlight. Still couldn’t completely remove the back, but loosened it enough that with the help of a pair of eyebrow tweezers, a toothpick and some choice words was finally able to reach the bag and pull it out. A mere 20 minutes later, batteries installed!

Great price, thanks OP! This will help avoid a repeat performance of last week when the spare refrigerator in our garage became much too cold and cans of soda froze and exploded inside it. It looked like a crime scene.

@ctgolfer said in Weber iGrill 3 $25 YMMV at Home Depot:

Brickseek only showing “clearance” as price for me - HD showing $99

Same here. Never saw the word “clearance” instead of an actual price.

If you have access to the coupon inserts in the Sunday newpaper, today there were several coupons for skin care products which would make this an even better deal: $1 and $3 off Nivea, $1, $2 and $3 off Eucerin, $1.50 and $2 off Cetaphil.
I just have to hide the products I buy that don’t have the little bunny logo signifying they do not test on animals. Otherwise our 6-year-old granddaughter will very matter-of-factly mention “there’s rabbit’s blood lotion in your bathroom” again.

I happened to stop at Lowes this morning and they had some select varieties 2 for $9 (reg. $10.98 each). I didn’t look too closely but it seemed like only the “grayish”-colored hanging pots were included in the sale. I saw pansies and (shade-loving) impatiens, although there might have been other varieties. I wouldn’t buy pansies if you want them for summer color, not in this area anyway. Here in the Northeast the blossoms are beautiful in the spring but the plants don’t do well in summer. If you then cut them back they’ll regenerate in late summer, which is ok I guess if you want yellows and purples then but to me they look out of place in the fall.

Thanks OP. Great reviews for this type of stroller.
Second pattern option (“Abstract”) now showing as $24. Other three patterns still $12.

Out of stock now.

Our “local” store (20 minutes away) is showing 4 available but this year I’ve batted zero (and wasted at least three trips) every time it comes to this store actually having whatever deal Brickseek says it has in stock. They’re worse than Lowes.

Thanks OP. I got $10 off too; would have missed it if I hadn’t seen your post and checked my email.

Worked for me too. Thanks MrV!

Great price. Almost bought a king until reading some reviewers’ complaints about the actual measurements being significantly smaller than stated, and that won’t work for where I was going to use a king size.

Still available at this price.

I’ve never used a delivery service but saw this 1/2 off deal for a Shipt membership in this week’s Target ad.
link text
(sorry if I mangled linking that…not sure what the issue is)

Enter your address to verify you’re within the delivery area for your closest Target.
Have hesitated to use delivery services because of the added cost per item (even curbside pickup is almost always more), but from what I understand Target owns Shipt so they keep prices the same as in-store to better compete with Amazon and Walmart. $35 minimum order to get free delivery.
Covid cases around here are skyrocketing, so $49 a year is a small price to pay to limit exposure. Granted, Target’s grocery section isn’t exactly Wegmans, but it will be a great way to get same day delivery on basic foods, cleaning supplies, personal care items, etc., without having to leave the house, especially with our Northeast winter just around the corner.

Just an FYI if you’re buying wipes in an effort to avoid Covid:

I feel like I’ve learned way more than I ever wanted to know about Covid, but being high-risk along with very high-risk family members and caring for two elderly relatives has made it necessary. One thing I learned is although products such as Clorox wipes and other disinfectants kill bacteria quickly, when it comes to viruses such as Covid if you read the fine print it says “TO DISINFECT: Use to disinfect hard, nonporous surfaces. Wipe surface to be disinfected. Use enough wipes for treated surface to remain visibly wet for 4 minutes. Let surface dry”. Who spends 4 minutes making sure the surface stays wet?? A much faster, more effective (and even less expensive?) option is this, also sold by Staples:
https://www.staples.com/caresour-hand-sanitizer-wipes-50-wipes-w-075/product_24443474
According to the CDC, alcohol this strength kills viruses in 30 seconds.
These are currently $1.99 for a pack of 50, and they ship free.

Worked great, thanks!

Still waiting on 3 rebates I submitted by text on June 10. I sent an email last week and received this reply:
Our system does show your rebate has been processed and qualifies for payment. However, we are currently waiting for funding from the client to complete the payment process. In the event that you do not have your payment in the next 2-3 weeks please feel free to check back with us for any updates or go online to https://inmarrebates.com

Thanks Mr.C. I just checked and saw the same offer in my account. There was no email notifying me of this and I would have missed it if you hadn’t mentioned it.
