Heres your free $5 coupon…
I couldn’t miss that one

I received yet another Staples email with a $5 reward this time, good thru 12/2
Check your spam
YMMV

@msrazzle said in Target 34 piece Rubbermaid for $7 is back on:

I’ve had the same type of Rubbermaid containers and lids for a few years. It’s a great set and I love it and use it often, but it has much more practical sizes. The tiny ones in this set seem useless food-wise. Perhaps they could be useful for hobby or crafts.

The tiny ones are good for lots of things
taking salad dressing for lunch
pills in a suitcase

on and on

Target has 34 piece Rubbermaid set for $7, or $6.65 with Redcard, it is back on this am for delivery and in store pickup

Last year we had the same $30 bonus on $100 gift card, however, some of the other people had buy $100 and get a punch card with 2 separate free meals, 2 free apps, a $10 off coupons, and 2 skip the line tickets, a serious great haul
It surely varies by region

In my area, they are out online, and the 15 or so stores are all out of stock as well
This morning, I could have picked it up, down the street, they must have sold like hot cakes

Shopko has a 40 piece set for $10 starts fri am

Thanks for the effort
The last time we were at JC Penny-- about 4 years ago-- we had a pair of $10 off $10 coupons, we walked around, and left without using them, there wasn’t anything I wanted to stand in line for.

Friday only, buy a $100 giftcard get a $30 bonus

or buy $50 get a $15 bonus

in store only, NOT online

I grabbed a couple this am, $6.65 each, plus tax, shipped free

Nice price and no need to fight the crowds

Friday only

Hy-Vee has a $15 HyVee card when you buy any $100 gift card, one per transaction

A few examples from their ad include, Red Lobster, Lowes, Dardens, Target, Buffalo Wild Wings, Kohls, Dominos, Bed Bath and Beyond, Applebees, chilis, Amex Gift Card, and several others

Also another bonus deal, buy a $50 Market Grille card and get a $20 bonus card with EACH $50 card. Yes it is a 40% bonus.

In my case it wouldn’t be worth a dime
My Buick needs special oil to keep the warranty in good standing, so the oil change benefit would be wasted, Buick gives the first 2 for free, about 20,000 miles worth
I have 4 years roadside in the manu warranty, no fee to tow, no fee for gas outage, no charge tire changes
5 years Onstar comes as well, for crash and emergency
4 years of warranty on the vehicle
2 1/2 years of OnStar directions from Buick mobility offer
Free loaner on warranty services

Rather than the Best Buy plan for older cars
State Farm costs about $6 per year for roadside/lockout/emergency,
I can find normal oil changes for $15 or less in my area, some times for under $10
AutoZone does the plug in for free and prints out the error codes and their fix
I cant see any other value to the plan,

@mistercheap said in BUZZ CLUB (Big Lots) Improvements, get $5 reward with every 3 purchases, plus other perks:

@LORENW click the op link, clearly shows a $5 reward outright, not a $5/15 Coupon. Perhaps you will still get the $5 rewards and the $5/15 is just an extra Q in your account.

I am NOT very good at waiting, but I will need to.

I just figured someone would have received one by now

Thanks

On both of our accounts, it said pending reward, now it shows 1 reward in offers, but it is a $5 off $15 coupon
Has anyone else received an $5 actual reward, or is this going to be just a $5 off $15 coupon as the earned reward

A very good value for the price point of this machine

If you need more speed and a dvd drive, Sams club has two, but $100-$150 more

Redcard is a Target debit card that takes it from your checking account, simple to get but it takes a while in the mail
Advantages are 5% discount when you use the card to pay, and discounted or free shipping for online orders

Target also has a credit card, that gives you the same benifits

Cartwheel is now part of the Target app.
Sign up or into Target, either with a computer or your phone on the app
Select whatever coupon you want to add to your account
When you go in the store, show your barcode to the cashier, either from phone or printed from computer
You can also use your phone in the store to scan an item and if there is a coupon, it will save it for checkout

Yes it is very easy

Target has a 15% off cartwheel coupon to use on any tv Nov 19 only

Example Samsung 65mu6500 curved 4k hdtv, on sale at $1000, with coupon is $850, another 5% off with a Redcard, making is about $ 808 for a 65 inch

Use this in store or online Sunday only

Mine is buy or sell 8%
I just got the message on my acct, but it says promo starts at 5am PT
Why do they wait and send the offer over 3 hours into the promo time?
I listed a used phone before the message, but within the promo time frame, I wonder if they will give me the 8% when it sells?

In my area it is very spotty as to which Red Lobster will honor the promo, make sure you look first

It is not a great windfall, but I am going to eat there anyhow, going to use a coupon, going to use gift cards I got at 20% or more off, so a free app here and there will be worth the receipt scan on my phone

Thanks OP

It would be so much easier if the tracking number didn’t change after you submit the rebate

Mine showed this am.

Great chance to cash them out in the BF ad without coupons, so you can buy 4 paper at once.

Costco sells their gift cards for 20% off. Pay $40 for a $50 card.

Polar Bear Coolers is doing their buy I get I free offer, add any 2 coolers to your cart, use code 2112

Very high quality soft coolers, great warranty

We have Tello on 2 phones, ever since Ring+ died. It works well for us

The unlimited text, and 500mb data and 200 minutes is $11 in the new price plan

It is a better choice for us to get one phone with unlimited text and 500mb for $7 a month, and use pay as you go for the minutes, since that line needs texts a lot, and very few minutes.

Our other line is on straight pay as you go, since it doesn’t get used a lot,

Our total bill runs about $11-12 a month for two lines
It is great to be able to pick your usage and change if you need to anytime.

I did call Tello CS recently, and spoke to a human within 10 seconds of the first ring, I had a question about a sim card on a new unlocked phone we were buying, they answered it just fine. Great cs for a cell company.

The end value of the reward is the same either way
The best value would be if a $5 off $15 coupon would show up, and then use the reward, just be mindful the reward expires about 2 weeks after you get it, so I will use mine asap, so I don’t forget

It will count for a trip with any purchase, even using coupons, etc

When you get a $5 reward, it applies before the 20% off coupon, so it will actually be a $4 reward, much the same way Kohls Cash works

Here is the text from my offer
…

You’ve activated the eBay Bucks bonus offer.
Earn 8% in eBay Bucks on all qualifying items of $50 or more!

Expires:

Nov 4, 2017 11:59 PM PDT

Nice deal if you need some Lowes stuff
Combine this with 10% off coupon, or even a $40 off $200, and of course free ship on most items online

Mine is 8% on $50+ as well

@lowpricewanted said in BUZZ CLUB (Big Lots) Improvements, get $5 reward with every 3 purchases, plus other perks:

You can only earn one $5 bonus per week so it’s unlikely that people are going to go crazy enough to shut it down. It appears though that you could shop at multiple stores each day and stack up the qualifying purchases to apply to each reward period. So maybe you could visit two stores each day for a week and have rewards for the next month.

Any thing over 3 shopping trips in a week, will bank for future weeks. They issue one reward per week

Example if you go 9 times in the first week, you get one $5 reward for each of the next 3 weeks.

Of course my cats may have a Big Lots Buzz card, so maybe your pet can have one as well…

The Perks at Work EPP, loophole was closed last year, They always had the best deals by far on big screen Samsung tvs.

My wife has PERKSPOT.com through her health insurance at work, Physisans Plus, they are now at the same price as perksatwork epp .

65mu8000 $1199

also numerous 55-105 inch tvs

Another example is the 75mu9000 @ $2399, which is $500 under Amazon

Check to see if your health ins provides access, or your employer.

@LORENW they’ve sent me three $5 off $15 Q’s in the last month. Have no problem going 3x, getting 33% off each time, then a $5 on top of that.

I don’t live close enough to run in for $1-2 items so doubt I’d buy stuff just to hit the reward, but will certainly make use of any good deals they send me. Plus BF is coming up and sometimes they have decent sales.

Yes we all need to work it out to our best benefit. I have a Big Lots quite close, so I can pop in a couple times a week and grab something cheap to qualify as a visit.

I like the idea of they pay you $1.67 for any day that you purchase anything. It will encourage me to buy a little bit, a lot of times.
My store had many clearance items today, those count as well.

It is the same ones that are about 20% off on a normal day at Sams, My local has
Uno
Fuddruckers
Coldstone
huhot
Dickeys
Outback
PF Changs
plus some movie places

They will show up on the web site that day, Sams is never good about details

Tivo has introduced the new Bolt Vox with speech control, however new equipment is needed, and of course another lifetime sub, no swaps or transfers for the Bolt Vox machines. Here is a more value packed idea to upgrade.

https://www.weaknees.com

Is selling the Vox Remote and the blutooth dongle to convert your Roamio or mini Tivo to the new voice control system, for $44.99 and free shipping

You get the new remote, for about the same price as a replacement remote, and now with numerous extra features. The best for me is the huge SKIP button for commercials, no more trying to figure out which little button zaps the commercials. plus the added convience of blutooth so no more pointing the remote.

It does require you to use the new screen interface, it now will show boxes with your recorded shows, or the old standby list view, and 10 channels on the new guide page.

I did notice a huge speed difference in my Roamio since the new interface was loaded last night, I am hopeful this continues.

I don’t have the new remote yet, but the interface works very nice, once you get over the shock of seeing it has changed so much.

Pay $60 for a one year membership certificate to Costco, get $20 Costco Cash card, a case of vitamin water, 12 pack paper towels, and a hot pizza coupon via mail.

I found this deal elsewhere, I did purchase a cert, it does function. The cert is on the screen right after you pay, plus a copy sent to email as well

We just got back, the line wasn’t even very long, double steak bootito bowl and a side of glock for $3 per person
, what a bargain
We just had a paper cutout mask that we held up, not a lot of thought went into a theme, I could have gone as a cheapskate, I’m always dressed for that

The HP 15.6 laptop with an 8th gen I-5 is a nice deal at $399, comes with 12gb ram, 2tb hard drive and does include a dvd writer.

are HP more reliable today? Back in 2010 the motherboards were junk.

I did a pretty extensive search for a mid priced laptop recently just for email, facplant, and normal surfing. I purchased a Dell 5566 with a ssd, and 7th gen I-5, for just a few bucks less than this HP, after all cash back, and the threat to return it to Dell further money back.

I would have purchased this HP had it been out at the time, without any second thoughts, 8th gen chip and 12gb ram are a lot better than most others in this $ range. Plus Sams return policy makes it less of a gamble.

But Xfinity mobile is an add on. Not in a vacuum. People are paying what $175 a month to be able use to Xfinity mobile, right?

I have internet only and its $60/month for that services. Phones are unlocked on request
so I can port out or discontinue service anytime.

That is a nice cell/home inet deal @ about $80 total for your 3 lines, for those who live in their service area,

When Ring+ started to die, I looked at numerous landing spots for my phone, and Tello has worked very well for us.

@trudi said in Office Depot rolling rewards ? YMMV:

I rolled rewards with batteries a couple times, I’m new to OD and didn’t realize it was a special feature of just the batteries though. I tried it with labels a few weeks ago and that did not roll. I wonder why batteries are special.

From what others have said in various message boards, it is the difference between a set $ amount on a rewards, vs 100% back on reward

The batteries say, $15.98 back on rewards, so in theory that is the magic phrase to look for

So having a set dollar amount back in rewards looks like is the phrase that pays.

Do you think if I paid completely in rewards for a set dollar amount back in rewards would I earn the full rewards offered? I was afraid to try it with the order I placed today. I only used about $12 in rewards.

I have no experience in using all rewards and trying to make it roll. I have read numerous remarks , and opinions are wildly split with many people claiming it doesn’t work no matter what. I’m happy it worked with getting some to roll, and a coupon with free batteries.
I did use the new rewards and a different 30% coupon already to use them on another item without a reward offer, I’m way ahead this time around.

@barrytuneup said in LG X charge preorder $149.99 unlocked Amazon:

i have 3 of the 1.00 phones from infinity for my family… Better then my Iphone 6 I used to have and bigger screen. Super fast. So this is a stripped down model? Don’t believe it. Plus the monthly fee is 12.00 + tax =14.50. The 12.00 is shared among the 3 phones, but we don;t use much data. Total for 3 phones monthly is $19.50. Unlimited talk/text. And it connects seamlessly to work internet and home router also.

Infinity version is a 4 core processor, the Amazon version is an 8 core processor.
My main interest is being on Tello, so we need to have a Sprint network phone, our bill for 2 phones is about $14 a month total.
It is good to hear you like the Infinity X charge, it should fill our needs easily.

This one has much better specs than the xfinity model

If one wants to use Tello or Ting, the xfinity version will not work there

The Amazon ads can be made smaller, and appear only the notification screen, and be pretty much gone,

LG X charge unlocked is 25% off with pre order, to ship aprox Nov 9. One per account, $149.99 with screen ads and offers. $199.99 without. This is a brand new phone that can be put on Tello, or similar phone service.

It is 5.5 inch, 1.5 ghz 8 core processor, dual flash cameras, 2 gb ram, 16 gb storage, sd slot, 4500 battery, and unlocked.

Add funds to your Amazon giftcard balance, and get 2% bonus, to save a bit more.

I read some things about ODepot rolling rewards, elsewhere, so I tried and here is the result.

I purchased 2 packs of the $15.99 Duracell batteries with the $15.98 rewards rebate offer. I went through Ebates for the 3%, and used the 30% off of $30 order code to save about $9.50.

I then added my leftover $10 rewards to the order to bring the total down to just over $13 with tax, for store pickup. I just received the $31.96 in rewards on my account

It never worked like this for me previously, and may be a loophole for now??

@my4mainecoons said in Pet -Deals, Food, Coupons Thread:

@lorenw “long time”? I have about 50 bags of food in plastic tubs organized by variety & date. We’ll finish up Exp. 2016 probably in November and then we’ll start on Exp. 2017. I have tubs dated Exp. 2018. A small bag lasts us a week. I don’t pass up free food if its something I’ll feed but I look for furthest date out knowing it will be in stockpile for a while.

I have 140# of cat food stashed, easily 2 years worth for my two meows. I have a rice/seafood flavor that I use for treats, it is just regular food, but I have them thinking it is special treats. So yes they are all good.

When I get down to about 20-30 # I’ll start sniffing around for more

This turns out to be a dry soup mix, add water and heat it up.
