@my4mainecoons I visited my local Sears store in PA and they had the signs up for the $50/$50 deal. My store is on the most recent closing list, btw.

You can do the deal once online and once in store - they are separate deals. My store is on the list of 142 too but has not started liquidation yet, so all the deals still work as normal there, for now.

Read down from that post.

@atariman I wonder how they come up with 9 ft reach. The platform is at 3 ft so if you are 6 ft tall your head will be at 9ft and you can easily reach to 10 ft but if you’re only 5 ft tall you’d barely be able to reach to 9 ft.

@lo A friend bought a tool at liquidation price and received the gc when she opted to pay full price. 10% off was a “sale price” .

In Weekly Sweeps email I received $10/$10 valid B&M or online.

@fivetalents Foodsaver for $49.99 before KC

I was waiting to see the cheap kitchen appliances. 2 price points: $4.99 and $9.99 AR

@ctgolfer IDK what these are like but I bought a look alike brand of replacements for Sonicare once. I returned them.

@atariman Description says its “lightweight”… its 45.6 lbs.

@atariman It’s too heavy for me… I’d love it but their definition of lightweight and my definition are very different.

Sears Is Moving Closer to Loan Deal and Stave Off Shutdown

by Eliza Ronalds-Hannon

Sears Holdings Corp. is inching closer to a financial lifeline that it needs to avoid running out of cash while it pursues a turnaround, according to a person with knowledge of the situation.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-11-05/sears-is-said-to-move-closer-to-loan-deal-and-stave-off-shutdown

@fivetalents I sold that handheld model for $5 at my yard sale this past year. Brand new, sealed box direct from FoodSaver.
It was $5 on FW a few years ago and I never used it.
I have several hand held versions: Reynolds, Ziploc and then had the FoodSaver one.
The full powered is MUCH better.

My sister sticks a straw in the corner of a ziploc bag, closes the bag then sucks the air out of the bag, then presses it closed. That’s basically what handheld sealers do. The powered ones make a vacuum seal and heat seal the bag closed. The handheld uses special bags that have a valve w/ hole on the outside but its like any ziploc bag, it doesn’t keep seal as well as something that’s been truly vacuum sealed. I’ve used handhelds for years and never paid more than $5 for them.

You can see the Fresh Saver on Amazon here. Its like those big vacuum bags in which you can store clothes and you use a vacuum cleaner to suck out the air.

The Reynolds version, yes as in Reynolds wrap aluminum foil. It was a few dollars at supermarket ~ 10 yrs ago. Then there’s the Ziploc version which was also from supermarket. If you want to try either of them LMK since I have the full powered one I’m happy to send you one of these. I also stocked up on the special bags with the valve if you decide to go with the FreshSaver. Happy to send those to you as well.

@Lo $20 back on $20 in Home in store only. Online is $25 back on $25 so different offers. I found a clearance Verage wheeled duffle for $15.99 and added candles to reach $20. Gray or green duffles are $15.99, blue is $54.99. Rang up $23.99, did P M to website.

The last time I bought prepaid MC I went from the store directly to my accountant’s where I prepaid fee for my tax return.
If one is the gambling sort one might take these to Sears and use them on a 100% back in points offer.
I’d be doing that if this deal was available in my State.

I gave them a coffee maker since the email said they take coffee makers. I walked in and mentioned that the ad said that and AM knew what I was talking about. Said he thought it was the first year they’d put that in the ad. This is a coffee maker I’ve had in the FREE box at my annual yard sale for several years and no one has wanted it. Happy to have it gone! Picked up $1k in Visa gc while I was there. (Chase Ink 5% back at office supply stores.)

I’m about $300 shy of Premier and deciding how to finish it off. I’ll probably buy ink this week since they’re giving 25% back in Rewards on $75+ ink purchases.

@KohlsPowrShopper Could you list coupon codes that will be available? I need my annual fix of cheap appliances but don’t know how much to spend to maximize coupon use. TYVM.

@mistercheap IDK about Acme but when I pull up Shaws website I see the Albertson’s logo.

@mistercheap You guys are getting fewer options. I just created a J4U for Acme near my Dad’s house.

@mistercheap You can buy just one Infusium or Pert for $2. Stock is the issue. I checked several stores and none of them had more than 9 Infusium ( 3 shampoo, 3 conditioner, 3 of the 3rd product) and none had more than 6 Pert. 4 was typical.

Check for clearance Dove Dermatologist stuff. Top shelf with skin care. The hand cream and 2 pack of bar soap are $2.14 here (75% off, more expensive stores) and the $2 L2c worked for me. There’s also a $2 insert q. IF you can find 6 hand cream, they count for the monthly Dove spend $12 earn $3 BC as well as for the $10 Beauty gc. Soap only counts towards the gc.
I got 6 hand cream, used 6 $2/1 insert q’s and earned $3 BC & $12xx tracking towards gc.

@mistercheap Not what you asked but IF you could get a bunch of Infusium & Pert, 2 Scunci and clearance Dove for $50 pre-Q you’d end up with $10 RA gc.

If you need coffee, Dunkin Donuts is $4.99, there’s a $2 L2c and $1 S*. The ad shows ground coffee but in the store I saw Kcups next to the bags so there’s a chance kcups will also be on sale.

Net $1.99 for 10 kcups, 19.9¢ per cup. A little steep for me but for those who don’t shop Staples it might be worth buying.

If you’re buying clearance Dove Derma (see my post above) there’s a CO51 offer for it as well. L3.

@mrvietnam Can you tell me more about the Spend $20 get $10 BC? 50% discount is unusual and I don’t see it in the ad. There’s a month long P&G offer, spend $20 get $6 BC L4 that will end in a week. There’s the spend $30 get $10 BC weekly offer L2 that’s a repeat of the first week of November but I don’t know about a spend $20 get $10. I have the ad in hand.

@mistercheap If you received it in the Nov. 18 inserts, Max Freeze should be small MM.
$7 w/ $6 BC. $2/1 in Nov. 18 SS. L2.

@mrvietnam No one wanted to see my screen shots but someone on SD had to submit theirs. Check the SD thread for week ending Nov. 24 and for this week. Gives the names of CSR’s who are good and who to hang up on.

$50 in points from Black Friday $50/$50 offer have posted.

@mrvietnam >3K on 4…

@kohlspowrshopper I got my last 2 pairs from Nordstrom’s because they were cheaper than Kohl’s. Can you believe it? Nordstrom’s cheaper than Kohl’s?

@lo You should do SwagBucks. You’d get lots of Amazon gc. @fivetalents loves Swagbucks and would be delighted to give you a referral code. I get my free Amazon gc by doing taste testing or use Rite Aid Bonus Cash to buy them for gifts.

@lo lucky duck! Maybe you should buy a lottery ticket today!

@mrvietnam yes on the FG beeping. I’ve trained my stores to post coupon beepers but the FG beep might be different from the usual “item not found”. Will have to try it to find out.

The DNA kits were L4 last month. I saw them in ad and in store but I didn’t check limit thinking it would be same as last month but again, will have to check in store. Regardless, I have to buy one today.

Systane is another MM if you have the L2c Sr. Q and paper Sr. Q and 30% off. $3 ip even better. I’m getting one Systane on each of 4 cards that have the L2c SrQ and I have 4 ip’s.
I think RR $14.99.
