@lowpricewanted Check out Cheez Its at Rite Aid this week. Halloween packs dropped to 75% off today-- $2.50 per carton of 20 pks.
Check out locally owned lumber yards. Mine lets me have lumber tarps. They’re about 20’ long and 10’ wide. Not as strong as tarps that you buy but they’re waterproof, sturdy and free.
@barrytuneup @MrVietnam
This probably doesn’t belong in PW Support but since the thread is here…
Since you are new to L2c here are some helpful hints.
Some L2c are manufacturer coupons and some are Rite Aid coupons. The Rite Aid coupons say “redeemable only at Rite Aid” and they will stack with manufacturer coupons. Not everyone nor every acct receives them so like the Plenti offers, they are targeted. If you have regular L2c and targeted L2c they will both come off when you purchase one of the item.
Since last update some manufacturer L2c now stack with paper coupons. e.g. This week am buying 3 Robitussin. Will be using 3 of the $3/1 ip. There’s $5.00 OFF ON TWO (2) ADVIL®, THERMACARE®, ROBITUSSIN® OR DIMETAPP® PRODUCTS OR EMERGEN-C® 8-10CT (EXCLUDES TRIAL SIZE) L2c which will attach even though I’ve used the 3 $3/1 ips. It works the other way as well. if you have a paper coupon for eg $5/2 widgets and there’s a L2c for $2/1 widget, you hand over the $5/2 at the register and it will attach to one of your 2 widgets. The L2c will then attach to the other widget.
If you have a paper coupon and a L2c and the L2c is for the same value, your paper coupon may sound like it scanned but the L2c will attach and block the paper coupon. You’ll have wasted paper coupon. 
If a paper coupon doesn’t scan (lately not much has been scanning) and you have a L2c the best thing is if cashier manually enters the beeping paper coupon. On your receipt you’ll see that L2c attached so you’ll have double dipped.
If you have a paper coupon for eg. $3/1 and L2c is for $2/1 sometimes the L2c will attach and block the $3. The $3 will give message “item not found” because L2c has already attached. Best case is if cashier manually enters (see above) but if they print temporary receipt and see the L2c attached they’ll explain that you can’t use both.
Sometimes if you have a paper coupon for eg. $3/1 and L2c is for $2/1 sometimes the L2c will kick out the $3. So you’ll have scanned it in but when you check your receipt you’ll see the $2 L2c came off and not the $3 you handed over. Best way to avoid this is either scan your card after coupons OR scan item, scan coupon, scan item, scan coupon.

@ctgolfer The white is my fave. The fabric on the black one isn’t as nice – rougher and it attracts fur which you can really see. 
@fivetalents Using my system opt for $79.99 (regular price), use a $10/$20 coupon so pay $69.99. Difference btw sale price $35.99 and regular price = $44 so you’ll get a Sears gc for 110% of $44 or $48.40.
Use the Sears gc + $1.60 to buy e.g. $50 Amazon gc.
Net: $69.99 + $1.60 for wrench set and $50 Amazon gc. 
I get Staples gc if I want to monetize but usually gas gc.
@mrvietnam Check out your friendly dentist’s office for $1/1 Colgate Enamel Health and $1/1 Sensitive tp exp. 7-2018
Don’t forget there’s a coupon on the inside of one of the flavors of Colgate Optic White. Or at least there has been for most of 2017… Can’t recall its value but its at least $1.
This week I received a RA email coupon for $2/1 Colgate Optic White. 
@mistercheap Its the Contour Next One that’s on sale. I think the manufacturer name changed. It used to be called Bayer Contour and in the insert its called the Ascensia Contour Next.
This is the one I got. The box looks exactly like the one in the RP insert and on S*.
Some are only 50% off but there’s hope…

@bigbadandmean Its $16 per $100 and $5 per $100. So why not 21%?
@briarycliffs Everything is beeping at RA lately, insert q’s especially. Peelies attached to their products. All the Pfizer ips. I bought 7 things tonight and every single coupon beeped “no matching item” and they were for exact item purchased, including a peelie on a bottle of Robitussin.
The only thing that’s been scanning w/o beeping is the Schick q’s that give overage, go figure.
OTH, as long as your store doesn’t mind manually entering things, you’ll DD because L2c for different values attach just fine.
@fivetalents thanks. I didn’t get the BB offer. I get BB cards from Rite Aid and historically have used them to buy Mobil gas cards. Recently its been $8 wyb $50 or $16 wyb $100. I suppose I could treat myself and get just $75 worth of gas at 8% discount… hard for me to splurge like that 
I could get a Panera gc with Plenti Points at RA but I try to get cards I really need eg Petco & PetSmart.
@fivetalents said in Should be easy math question but I don't know how to do it.:
@meed18 said in Should be easy math question but I don't know how to do it.:
If you have a 5% card for use at office supply stores, why don’t you have a 2% card for non-category spend?
Also, are you 100% sure you can use a Best Buy gift card to buy a different gift card. Nearly every time I’ve tried something like that with a store gift card, they tell me I can’t buy another gift card.
I think Best Buy is one of the few remaining exceptions: I recently used a $50 Best Buy GC to purchase a $50 Whole Foods GC in store.
Sears/Kmart is another one. I’ve purchased Staples, Amazon, Panera, Shell, etc at KM using Sears gift cards.
@frett I travel internationally independently and alone. I’ve travelled to the UK several times although not recently.
I choose hotels based on neighborhood, price and reviews. Book cheapest upgradeable air fare and use miles to upgrade to business class. Really nice to be able to stretch out on a long flight. Makes it special too, like an anniversary should be. I use local transport to get to hotel from airport.
Are you familiar with TripAdvisor.com?
For guidebooks I like the Lonely Planet series but it depends on your style. Guidebooks are targeted to specific audiences. Rick Steves is much less adventurous than Lonely Planet but more adventurous than e.g. Frommers.
You will be jet lagged when you arrive. Typically I check into hotel then if I’m with someone who’s never been to London before, we take a city tour. London Transit used to run one where you could get on/off stops all for one ticket. I suggest just riding cuz you’ll be tired. You’ll go past places you’ll want to return to and places you don’t care to revisit but at least you’ll have gone past Buckingham Palace even if you don’t want to watch the changing of the guards. Then walk around a bit, have dinner and go to bed early.
Its a long drive from London to Scotland by car. Maybe 8 hrs.? I’ve only done it by overnight train. If you don’t mind spending 2 days of your 10 day trip just driving then go for it. You could spend 10 days just in Scotland. Ireland? Even longer to get there. Again, a place you could spend a week. Maybe that’s what you want this trip to be, the experience of travelling to/from Scotland and staying in B&B’s along the way.
I travel by public transit, ie buses, trains. You can get just about anywhere you want from London, just know that depending on where you’re headed will determine which station you leave from.
@centora87 You can earn cash back on Groupon purchases. Is your question whether this deal would be excluded because you’re buying a gift card and cash back isn’t usually earned when buying a gift card? If so, I have no idea.
The NewEgg gift cards can be used along with a NewEgg coupon.
The $20 is a gift card not a coupon. You can use multiple gift cards on a single order.
I remember doing something similar last year and cashing out the entire gc buying FAR stuff on BF.
@mistercheap said in HURRY!!!! Activate S* $10 Contour Next One meter!!! Cash out $10 PP:
Got my Q’s today that I bought from Flea Market, yes they beeped, but one store seems to think they beeped due to the price being $9.99, and I let them modify it, easy to be done with it.
the issue isn’t the $9.99 price and $10 coupon, nor is it ip vs insert q. It just beeps as does just about everything at RA these days.
Did you have filler to cover the penny?
Another way – and better cash out, is to have them do a post-coupon.
I’ll be buying meter ($10q beeps), Nicorette ($10 mq beeps) and Schick razors. $20 is a lot to override. I’ll have them post q $20.
if you have q’s you won’t use I could use 4 more.

Prices have dropped.
If I didn’t show price change its because the store I was in didn’t have that coffee.
I can’t think of anything else to do with my $10/$30 recycling coupon so I might get more Kcups.
5 boxes @ $6 ea, $30 - $10/$30 = $4/box. Remember these are 16-18 ct vs supermarket 12 ct.
@lorenw not until BF at the earliest.
Acct showed I’d earned 3 Rewards. Now it only shows 2. I’m hoping that the 3rd is on deck to be issued.
This is a very slow program.
@stolat slim to none. They’ve had other 3 day coupons in the past and they’ve expired without grace.
@597404 could this thread be added to the YMMV forum?
@fivetalents IIRC the more you buy the lower your net cost. Of course that assumes you can unload the appliances. I’ve had crock pots, toasters, blenders & coffee makers at yard sale for years. I think I’m getting Panini makers, toaster ovens and waffle makers this year.
@fivetalents I can’t access FB or instagram from here (office) that’s why I’m needing the spoonfeeding. Thanks.
@fivetalents I’m a Kohls newbie (this was my 4th order, lol) but I think you have to have $5 BUT it doesn’t expire. I had $4xx in Yes2You for about a year and they finally just gave me a $5 one to empty my acct.
@mistercheap I agree. I resell the Toastmaster junk for $6 ea. I outlined my Hamilton Beach & Bella deal in the other thread. Mine was “only” $18xx MM before resale but I don’t have Meijer and I did it all online last night. Have already received the Kohls cash & “ready for pick up” emails. Even better, I’ll end up with appliances that I can resell for more than $10 ea.
@fivetalents No, I’ve gone to the little freestanding stores but Deerfield is THE home store, where it all started. There are billboards on the interstate for it. Its a family destination for activities, etc. Have always ignored it until saw coupon for free candles last year.
@fivetalents Limit 5 rebates per product per household means one could get 5 mixers, 5 crock pots, etc. That’s what I’ve done in the past. Hmmm. Maybe go for 12 products, $200… I have Kohls gc purchased with SYWR points at RA… I think that’s what I did last year, ~ $200 worth.
@kohlspowrshopper Shipping temporarily out of stock
is this dead?
Coupons have been printing at the registers. Should be emailed in the next few days as well.
And if that still isn’t enough, go here, enter an email and get one to print.
This overlaps with the 4 day sale which has its own thread.
Best overlap is Hydralyte, RR $7.99 for bottle, $9.99 for tabs part of the 4 day sale for $5.99, earn 500PP, L2.
I picked up $2/1 mq at Wellness desk and there are pdf’s on the interweb.
30% off bottle price $5.59 - $2/1 mq $3.59, earn 500PP and $2 S*.
$5.99 is better price than 30% off for the tabs. $5.99 - $2 = $3.99 earn 500PP and $3 S*.
Nicorette $53.99 RR, 30% off $37.79 - $10/1 ip - $10/1 RA cat q = $17.79 earn 1000PP and next $10 cat q.
@mistercheap I’ve done it in the past few weeks and expect to do it this coming week.
@mrvietnam Free Aquahydrate for you, Mr. V. Senior Day they’ll be 2/$3 - 2 $1/1 Sr Q’s - $1/2 mq printing from the RA coupon machine.
@mrvietnam I did my experiment. I had a RA gc with $1xx on it. I tried to buy a $6xx gc.
Total $6xx, swiped the RA gc w/ $1xx on it and the register said “Rite Aid does not allow the use of gift cards for the purchase of gift cards, lottery tickets, postage stamps…”. It was worth a shot.
@dangeruss You get upgraded for free by being a “valued customer”. Here’s discussion about losing Rewards.
I called, was “downgraded” and because of @juicer’s success I argued to get back the lost Rewards. Rewards CSR came up with value of $130 which was more than I thought. It arrived and it was cashed out with BF deals. I came out ahead in the end-- 2 $25/$25 appeasements and $130 in Rewards kept me a satisfied customer.
My year to date spend is >$2k. I bought a lot of MMAR software. McAfee was crazy-- something like $4.99 online with $40 rebate. L5 so I ordered 5 for a bunch of friends. They dumped Kaspersky with rebates. eg $40 on line w/o rebate, $80 instore w/ $60 rebate. Bought in store, did PM to dot.com and submitted for rebate. Sold all the Kaspersky but if anyone needs McAfee I have 20 boxes.
@wmnetid What state are you in? If in MA, NJ, OR, WA the minimum to cash out is $5 so folks might be buying 10 @ $5.
@mistercheap said in Kohls BM Black Friday (until 1 PM) 12 small appliances and small MM.:
@fivetalents it is mayhem at Kohls B&M for days, lots do the online pick up option too. Given the rebates, it is easy to get $50 in your cart post discounts and have them shipped for free. I’ve never had any of them damages since they pack a number of these items into one larger box.
I honestly see no reason to go to the store if you are ONLY doing this appliance deal. if it were in store only, I’d understand.
@mistercheap Well, I found another reason to pick up in store. Earned $5 Kohls Cash for doing it. Turns out there’s been a promotion for $5 KC when you BOPUS.
This week I placed an order to use the $60 KC and $10 Yes2You I’d earned buying appliances. Received $5 KC for doing BOPUS. Just chatted with CS wondering why I’d received for 2nd order but hadn’t received the BOPUS bonus for my 12 appliances. They issued 100 Yes2You pts and gave me $5/$5 my next online order. If I choose BOPUS again I’ll receive another $5 KC for that order.
I picked up my 12 appliances on Saturday PM after Thanksgiving. I was the only one at the CS counter. Of course a line formed behind me since it took CSR a bit to collect the 12 appliances.

@barrytuneup said in Amex Plenti to lose several partners in 2018:
well, then don’t recommend buying the RA gift card starting Sun. for 1000 PP. $10.00 profit, but who knows how long the PP will be around. Although they would probably give warning to us your points as of a certain date.
I think Rite Aid and Plenti are pretty committed to each other. The bigger issue is if one will still have Rite Aid stores in 2018. Mine are all being taken over by Walgreens so I’m cashing out.
@althes said in Amex Plenti to lose several partners in 2018:
Yeah rite aid and plenti are hand in hand.
I still don’t find it very appealing.
So much for my certainty about RA and Plenti… No more Plenti at RA in 2018.
Activate your monthly PALS Rewards offers.
This month there’s $10 Reward wyb dog or cat bed.
Yesterday beds were 60% off online.
I got an awful bed. Really thin & small. Might work for a kitten if its on a rug… BUT it was $3.99 ($9.99RR) so I PM’d instore to dot.com and today I received $10 PALS reward.
In store I saw a sign that all Harmony beds were 50% off this month. There was a much nicer bed $19.99RR, $9.99 on sale but I wanted to do the experiment of buying cheap. There will probably be other coupons or deals in the next 2 wks so keep checking the website.
Earlier in the day I’d bought a Petco gc at RA. Paid for it w/ Plenti Pts and earned 500PP wyb $25 Petco gc. Paid for the pet bed with Petco gc.
