By the way, this gift card deal is a monthly deal and is good through 10/29/22.

@dionaea said in Social Security cost-of-living adjustment will be 8.7% in 2023, highest increase in 40 years:

We are hoping it will actually be implemented in January, BUT do not lose sight of the fact that the Republicans have made it clear they intend to CUT Social Security and Medicare if they take control after the mid-term elections.

Please keep politics out of the thread. There is a dedicated political discussion thread in the off topic forum if you want to talk politics.

I had a pleasant surprise at my local Rite Aid today. Free beans.

The can I bought expires 5/25/24.

check fresh by dates, a lot of this stuff has either expired or will soon. Nothing much left in the Wild Harvest line in my area, wiped out during the clearance parade over the summer.

The can I bought expires 5/25/24.

But, as MC duly noted, most stock is gone since this line has been on clearance for months now.

Reaction in Calfornia @MrVietnam

Ralphs owner vows lower food prices in Albertsons bid. Consumer advocates are doubtful

I am one of the doubtful ones.

Well, hoping for $10 back from my Listerine purchase instead of $5. I bought 4 bottles for $6.49 each, but I used the $5 off flu coupon and that made my subtotal only $20.96, I starred the 4 bottles at $6.49 each. Pretty sure I will get the $10 as I don’t believe they penalize for coupon use and just go by the line entry amounts.’
'
Like everything else, Listerine has went up in price at Rite Aid. These bottles used to be $6.29 each and now they are $6.49. If everything works out I should be getting all 4 of these bottles for $1.04 before tax.

I was able to find 2 of the Revlon Essential hair dryers for $8.63 each after 35% off and I got back $10 in BC for each. So now all my BC is recycled and good through the end of this month, so I can use it on Black Friday.

My Listerine receipt was approved the same day I submitted it and I got my $10 reward, so indeed they only look at the product line entries and you are not penalized for using coupons. Hope that nugget helps others considering this deal now or in the future.

@MISTERCHEAP Replying to your question on SD. Did you read my post in the thread about the Social code? Until this week there were 4 Qs with different numbers and you could do the deal x 4. The 4 were: in ad, email, website and social (FB, etc.)
BUT this week the codes for the email, website and social are all the same. The in ad has a different number but when you generate the email, web or social qs there’s a message saying that its the same as the in ad, there’s only one q and one can only get $15 back once.
> So, we are all waiting for someone to try the in ad: LB11784 and the email=web=social q: LB11785 to see what happens.

Try the following to see it for yourself.

The wait is over. Ravi tried two of the barcodes (in-ad plus one other) and got the $15 BC back twice.

FYI, your shift & managers can now added Courtesy Bonus cash in even numbers to your transaction. If you bought something & it didn’t print, they’ll tell you to do another transaction & add the missing amount. It’ll show as 0 BC on receipt but produce the BC after the transaction is complete.

@mtnagel If that’s true, then they really should be required to put “best used by” dates on those detergents if they stop working well.

Well most of the other cleaning ingredients will be fine for awhile, so it will still clean for awhile. And in general, most product is sold pretty quickly and most people aren’t like us with stock piles of stuff so they use it up quickly.

“most people aren’t like us” LOL!! Feel like a freak at a circus side show “Hurry Hurry and Step right up and see the man with 97 bottles of Tide, 245 tubes of toothpaste, 350 Baby Ruth Bars and 98 packs of Compeed Blister Patches”

You can use two promotions if you plan ahead and place one order an hour before you go and then place the other order right before you go or at the restaurant. They don’t make the orders until they are picked up.

Good deal. $7.99 for the same product and size at Target. Free shipping is nice, too.

I copied and pasted directly from their website this morning. Evidently they had not yet updated the fine print, but it is for Coppertop this week.You say just in time for the storms headed your way, but these are not flashlight or lantern batteries. They are only for the AA and AAA sizes.

Thanks for the HU, MC, I didn’t get the offer on my Chase credit card, but I got it on my Chase checking account. A free $5 is greatly appreciated.

Where can I activate this on my Chase checking account?

You can find out if it is offered to you on your checking account by logging onto chase.com and then on the left hand side you will see you Chase offers. Click on the bottom that says “see all offers”. Then in the upper middle of the next screen it will allow you to choose which account you want to look for offers. Just select your checking account and the offers available to your checking account will populate. Then all you need to do is click on the “+” in the upper-right of the offer to activate it on that account. HTH

Thanks. That’s a whopper of a deal.

Good thing, in the past at least, I always cashed out when I met the earliest threshold. Now it looks like if I redeem for a $25 Kroger card I get the least devaluation of points, “only” a 9.1% devaluation vs. a 23.1% devaluation for a $5 card or a 16.7% devaluation on a $10 card,

@mistercheap said in Paramount Plus $8.50 for the first year exp 1/2/23:

I signed up today for the $25 annual deal (it does require auto renew, so you need to be aware of that issue down the road, you can remove it I think)

Went through TCB and it already tracked but at $0.00 for now. that’s because the first 7 days is a trial and you can cancel w/o penalty, your CC isn’t charged until day #8, and that is when the TCB CB shows up in place of the $0.00.

A very nice deal to get this for about 67c a month after all offers. (had the Amex offer)

I would get this, but my Samsung Snart TV (from several years ago) does not have the Paramount Plus app.

anyway to do an update on the software for it? can google it, maybe there’s a fix.

I did some research on Paramount Plus’ help page and it looks like my TV is one year too old to be supported (I have a 2016 Samsung Smart TV). Oh well…

Supported models and versions
Samsung TV is supported on:

**Tizen operating system (2017 models and newer)**

that’s too bad Mr. V.

Always an optimist. On the bright side, even though my TV is 6 years old. It still works beautifully, like a champ. I especially like to watch the classic TV shows from yesteryear. I have plenty of selection already with Tubi and Pluto, which are both free. I recently had Hulu, but canceled it recently as I almost never watched it. I also have Disney+ free from my sister. She lets me use her password. My boys really enjoy that. Not to mention Amazon Prime TV. I never seem to have the problem of nothing good to watch on TV.

I always keep my eye out for abandoned receipts in grocery store parking lots as I am entering or exiting the grocery store. Sometimes I am even able to score some rebates on Ibotta using found receipts, too.

Be careful with that - most people pay by credit card and use loyalty cards, enough unknown credit cards and loyalty cards might send a red flag. With these apps, there’s no warning: they ban you from the platform forever and take away prior earnings.

Perhaps, but I have been doing it for years and have never had an issue. Good advice to keep in mind though.

Haven’t got a free t-shirt in a long time. Hope it comes. Thanks, OP.

I got an e-mail about this and activated my offer several days ago. Looks like an easy way to get some money off a purchase. Looks like an easy way to get $2.50 off a purchase (given they have 5 touchdowns in the game). IIRC they cash out rewards in increments of $2.50.

@yoregano said in Coke Rewards Official thread:

Well, this stuff is no good for you anyway, so the high prices are a good deterrent to stocking up.

Seriously, do we consider Coke Rewards officially dead? The holidays came and went without any offers. The only “rewards” that have been available for quite some time are for donations (nothing wrong with that, I guess, but what a far cry from what things used to be like).

I have a bag full of codes, but nothing to use them on. I agree that this thread is dead for all practical purposes.

purchased two Klondike cones at Target for $7.49 each or a total of $14.98.

I received 14,980 + 75 + 75 =15,130 points in Fetch.

To redeem in Fetch for $15 ($10 + $5) gift card at Target requires 11,500 + 6,000 = 17,500 points.

So instead of getting 100% in points I got 15,130/17,500 = 86% back in points. The percentage would be less for Kroger and Walmart because they require more points to redeem.

Interesting that the t-shirt size selections are only S, M, or L. No XL.
Although to their credit they have both male and female shirt styles.

$7.99 instead of $4.99 here.

Same here. Holy hell, when did cereal get so expensive?!?! I think I’ll stick with my $2.48 Walmart bran flakes for breakfast.

I think the price of grain has really went up due to the inflation and the war in Ukraine.

Additional factors such as the high price of other ingredients as well as elevated labor and fuel costs are driving the prices of cereal products upward.

I do agree with your “holy hell” sentiment. I feel that way quite often when I am at the grocery store shopping for groceries.

Coca-Cola Move or Zero Sugar Move
20-oz. bottle. Limit 1.
Coupon: One time use . Expires 02/27/23

The Coca-Cola company recently teamed up with Grammy Award-winning artist Rosalía to release a new limited-edition flavor: Coca-Cola Move. The new beverage, which launches this month, has a “similar familiar Coca-Cola taste with both bold and delicate flavors,” and is supposed to represent a mood, the company says,

My first sip of the full-sugar version of Coca-Cola Move brought only one thing to mind: Bubblegum. It’s Coke, for sure, but it’s got that super-sweet mouthfeel of a sugary pink piece of gum. And after a few more sips, I could see where early tasters are getting the coconut-vanilla descriptor. There’s a tropical element to it, but it’s not overwhelming.

@my4mainecoons said in Listerine 21 Day Challenge - Earn Points with Purchases, up to $15 rebate ends 2/28:

@mistercheap The limit for the JnJ gc was 2 but I thought the limit for the 21 day rebate was one of each kind, e.g. a $10 and a $15. My mistake. It would have been easier if fewer cats submitted rebates.

For the 21 day rebate I ordered a $15 gift card first and then a couple days later s $10 gift card. I got the $10 card really fast (like a week), but several weeks later still no $15 card, even though I redeemed for that denomination first.

Wow. The wait was worth it and paid off for me. I guess they had trouble issuing a $15 Rewards card for some unknown reason and instead after a several week wait today in the mail I received 2 more $10 cards, so I made a total of $50 in Rewards Visa cards from this deal. That made all the Listerine free and MM. Gotta love it.

Just a friendly reminder that if you haven’t used the points you earned from this offer already, you only have two days left to use them up before they expire on 2/28.

I was able to redeem this offer on 3 different family accounts.

Redeem 5 activities/punch cards for a $5 Target e-gift card this month.

Thanks @briarycliffs this 5 cent purchase (CA CRV) got me a $5 Target e-gift card.

Even if you don’t get out to get the free Sparkling Ice today, I think Big Lots everyday price is only 89 cents, so for less than a dollar you could get $5 back. Thanks for the HU on their rewards program. I think I will sign up all the adults in my household.I will have to read the terms and see if there is a household limit in rewards accounts. Unfortunately the nearest Big Lots to me now is nearly 10 miles away.
