@mistercheap said in Pompeian Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil - 32 Ounce $5.38 @ AMAZON.COM EXP. UNK.:

cooking question for anyone who may know.

What is the difference between Extra Virgin and just pure Olive Oil? Why is one ‘better’ than the other or is there not much of a difference?

Generally Extra Virgin is just supposed to be the pressed oil, no processing done to it except filtering to remove larger solids. Pure olive oil can be processed, think heated distillation, to remove impurities.

so why would one want to use one over the other? is there a difference in taste? cooking quality using it? etc?

EVOO has a stronger olive taste, best for dressings, sauces and where you want the heavier flavor. Pure olive oil will work the same, but with a milder taste and typically is better for sauteing and pan frying. But it really doesn’t make much difference in low heat cooking. Neither are ideal for high heat, you wouldn’t want to make a batch of fries with either. There are more intact healthier fats in EVOO, so using it is preferred from a health standpoint.

Only filled one bar for my 12 pack order. I cancelled.

Wondering if your in an eligible no beer state if you get the $5 rebate or the $15 rebate?

Well…it asks you to choose which amount you are expecting to receive when you submit the rebate. I’m in PA, made no beer purchase, and chose $15. We shall see what arrives.

Giant had Friendly’s 2/$5 last week. Took about 12 hours from submission to receiving the approved email. Thanks!

@mistercheap Thanks. I am down to my last set for Staples and totaly forgot to hunt for a good bulk deal. Hope the new year doesn’t bring any big changes to recycling programs.

@ohsheet said in Staples $10 Tech Recycling In Store Only 4/16 - 6/17:

@dangeruss i recycled a pen, and was given the same line “we don’t recycle pens”. a manger was standing right next to him, and told him they do for this promo, and showed him where the sku was in the computer.

I actually went in with a bag of my kids broken crayons, surprisingly, the CSR knew exactly what to do with them. Now, if this pays out that extra $5 it will be great.

User CalmChannel1150 over at SD posted this:

Some details I read about Staples’ new reward program (1 recycled cartridge = 50 cents)
Earn 1pt on every $1 spent (excluding gift cards, taxes, LQO)

Earn “starting at” 100pt for ink cartridges (still limited per month to something)

Associates actually get earned rewards now at the same rate plus we get 400pts for ink recycling

Points don’t expire as long as you shop at staples within 18 months to stay active

You can earn bonus double points on select categories (tech items, ink and toner, P&M, chairs, etc) and you can pick up to 3 of them

App is going to have other limited time bonus offers that can be activated

Points can be redeemed at register at any whole dollar amount as long as the customer asks. (You have to first enable it on the main screen but go to the add tenders screen to see the available amount and add it)

Points are refunded when returning an item paid partially or in full with points

Points are worth a half penny each so 200pts = $1

Visa Cards will earn 3X gas rewards starting 4/6. Coupon overlaps, so it should be around $70 MM on $500 GC purchase and 25 gallon fill.

@mistercheap
My $15 ecoupon expires 4/8 (Giant PA). Over at FTM Giant forum, the new ad scan for the week shows 3X Visa starting 4/6. I won’t get my new ad until the 5th, but the ads they post always coincide with mine for the GC deals.

@mistercheap said in FREE Campbell’s Well Yes! Sipping Soup at Stop & Shop & Giant, LALA at Martin’s Foods thru 11/8/18:

@MrsGuin is there a reason you don’t answer? there is no offer for this item at Giant and I am trying to determine where you got the info. is it wrong? freebies like this are not YMMV in the apps.

@dangeRuss @fivetalents this is what I go through with her.
Not Mrs. G, but I saw this posted at LRWC in the Stop & Shop thread as a Friday freebie at S&S & Giant. I use Giant PA, and the offer did not show in my app.

@mrvietnam said in Rite Aid 12/30 - 1/5 ($17.05 MM via BC wyb a $200 MyVanilla Visa card, MM Cover Girl Eye Makeup; 75% off Christmas clearance; Senior coupon list for 1/2/19 Senior Day):

Confirmed buying $200 vanilla visa gives $20 BC

paid $202.95
Got $200 card + 20 BC

The limit is 1 $200 card per Wellness card.

There is also a 50 cent per transaction fee each time you use it. For that reason, I recommend using it up in one transaction, perhaps paying or prepaying a utilty.

You may want to wait until Tuesday to purchase so you can get 2019 Wellness points if you have already earned your 1,000 Wellness points for this year.

Ok, so dumb question, but to completely use the card you would need to pay $199.50, 50 cents get deducted for the fee, and the card would be zeroed out?

@my4mainecoons
Thanks for mentioning the Instinct cat food. Picked a bag of the Ultimate.

@mistercheap said in Possible price mistake: 12-Pack Ghirardelli Intense Dark Sea Salt Soiree chocolate. $2.48 at Walmart pick up only:

glad I didn’t waste my time on this, especially with pick up. Don’t mind shipped orders that get cancelled, but imagine driving down there for nothing? I’m sure some people did as much mileage as this post got on SD and here.

Yeah, I was picking up an order at Home Depot, which is attached to the Walmart. I figured I would try since I was going there anyway.

FWIW - Offer # AB-2040 virtual rewards for this offer arrive incredibly quickly. I have done it twice, and they have processed in about two days.

To receive $20 through this rebate, you must purchase ONE (1) 12-pack of Heineken®, Heineken® Light, Heineken® 0.0 OR Amstel Light (bottles or cans) AND $80.00 worth of groceries. Groceries exclude alcohol, lottery tickets, gas, tobacco, money orders, postage stamps, gift cards and prescription pharmacy purchases.

*States subject to change based on approvals. Residents of VA are eligible for a rebate equal to 50% of the normal retail price of the beer (excl. sales tax), up to a maximum of $10. Maximum of ONE (1) rebates per individual, email address and receipt. Offer not to be combined with any other offer. Void where taxed or prohibited by law. Valid at all participating licensed off-premise retailers in participating states. You are responsible for sales tax. Offer not available to groups or organizations, or to employees of HEINEKEN USA Inc., its affiliated companies and agencies, licensed alcohol beverage suppliers, wholesalers, and retailers, or members of their immediate families or households.

When it says “All items do not need to be purchased at the same location”, does that mean you can use multiple grocery receipts to reach the $80 in NBP states? Or, is that just stating for BP states, that you can buy the alcohol separate from the groceries? I am in NBP state, so I am wondering if I can use multiple receipts.

Received the $7 Pint It Forward rebate today.

@mrvietnam said in 12/23 only Weds Stacking of offers! DOSH/SWAG/Google Pay Offer: $25/50/30 back on Walmart+ Annual Subscription = net $7mm:

Here is a comment I saw on DoC:

PSA: If you do the “sign up for trial then cancel, then sign up through SB” method, be sure to not buy anything from walmart before the SB show up in your account as pending, since I bought some $5.94 shampoo 10 hours after I sign up and now my Walmart+ sb tracking is showing $5.94 for the purchase amount and 0 SB earned.

Thanks for all the info., this worked for me. I was a little worried since there are people on Reddit detailing how the offer wasn’t crediting and they were having trouble with SB support. I think it is dumb you do not get a detailed Walmart receipt for the sign up, only a confirmation email. Regardless, the offer took 24 hrs. to show as pending for me on SB. The DOSH was immediate and about 2 hrs after sign up for Gpay.

It does not.

@mrvietnam said in Top Cashback: Get 5% Payout Bonus when you choose AMEX Prepaid Virtual Card to 9-3:

I made the mistake of redeeming for a virtual Am Ex card for under a dollar and now I am finding it hard finding a place where I can redeem it. Any suggestions?

Can you add it to a digital wallet and select it for payment at a grocery store? I know prepaid VISA and MC automatically deduct balance on the card and the register then just asks for another form of payment for balance. Don’t remember if AMEX work the same way. I guess Amazon will not let you empty for less than $1?

Was available through the app, but not if I checked through the website.

I had let my Gold status lapse as of the end of last year (haven’t been to RA at all this year), but when logging in I did have 3,000 points.

This app is similar to Fetch, but emphasizes better for you brands such as Barilla, Stonyfield, Califa, Just Egg among others. You accrue points for gift cards (Amazon, Best Buy, Whole Foods, etc.). Right now any receipt currently credits 50 points.

@dionaea said in Office Depot 1/7-1/13/24: 100% back in Duracell AA or AAA 16 or 24 ct. batteries. Limit 2.:

Suggestions for how to do this. Our OD closed in October, next closest is over 30 miles away. I can order online for the OD credit toward an online purchase later, but no local store to turn in cartridges. Is there still a way to submit cartridges by mail? It would cost postage, but the $20 OD credit would be more than the postage. Thanks. Also, ordering the 24 pack of AA size, I need to order another $8.02 for free shipping. Didn’t realize free shipping is now minimum of $45 order!

Unfortunately the fine print on the website says “Rewards are not available for returns made by mail”, most likely because they provide a free shipping mailing label. They will accept the cartridge to recycle and pay for the shipping, but not give rewards.
