Luigi’s lemon ice are on sale for $1.99 ea. Used $1/1 ice cream novelty FA Q’s and got back 85¢ ea. from Ibotta making them 14¢ each.

it’s back

@kimi I’m the same way at Shaw’s. I have a $50/$50 so I was checking out the lobster salad. We used to be able to get lobster rolls for $6.99. Now just the salad is $59.99/lb.

I need ink for recycling so I bought ink at Staples for 50% back in Rewards. TCB excludes ink purchases from cash back.
I bought a Staples egc from iBotta where you can use money in your account to pay and get 5% back.
I ordered the ink through iBotta where ink isn’t excluded from cash back. Paid with the egc.
The 5% for the eGC and 2.5% for the ink are pending in my account.
Same % if I’d paid with my Chase ink 5% back but this cashes out some of my iBotta account and doesn’t use part of my Chase ink 5% back. I max out the Chase 5% on utilities and buying prepaid Visa cards. Prepaid Visa cards aren’t an option on iBotta.

I get >$1K a year from iBotta. Thanks for the HU.

@mrvietnam That’s funny. I give them away to someone in line.

I got Celeste frozen pizza today. Sale price 99¢. I got 4 and used 4 $1/1 frozen pizza. Free. Also Pepperidge Farm goldfish on sale for $1.97 with clipped J4u. Got 4 of those and used 4 $1/1 crackers to make them 97¢ each.

@mrvietnam said in Albertson's/Safeway Flavor Adventure instant win (smartphone app, possibly website too):

Interesting. I just won the rotating ice cream game. I got all strawberry ice creams, but it only gave me a sweepstakes entry. I wonder if that is some kind of an error or if they are out of prizes. I read a few days ago that happened to another person on SD.

Kind of sucks finally winning a mini-game, but not getting a deserved prize for it.

Same thing happened to me a few days ago. Also with strawberry. I’ve also clicked the correct flower pot and not received the prize. That was a couple of weeks ago so I don’t think it’s because they are out of prizes.

@mistercheap It was one of my last to be picked… between that and bakery. Three of my cats have had J4u accounts for years. When I finished all the bonuses on an account I decided to start playing on an account that hadn’t been playing. Earned the $15 meat and now the “cat food” q moved up to #2.

@mistercheap I tested 8@$2 cans of Blue Wilderness in the cart and that worked! So it doesn’t have to be a single item.

I don’t Wag but reminder that Listerine counts for the JnJ rebate. Spend $20 get $5.

@mistercheap I suspect not. I’ve seen mis-categorizations before. This week chicken legs, thighs, etc. are listed under Meat for 99¢/lb vs. my personalized price of $1.29/lb for thighs is under Deli.

@kimi It’s in Albertsons’ and Acme’s ads but not in Safeway’s. This happened last time but people purchased gc at Safeway and received the OYNO.

Double dip with the JnJ BTS rebate

I used the $15/$15 household and $15/$15 “cat food” Q’s today. I started by using a $10/$10 basket coupon so it wouldn’t interfere. Then, because the card has a $20/$20 I did the $15 cleaning in one transaction and the $15 cat food in a separate transaction.

I don’t need any household supplies so I got 4 bottles of Method dish soap @$3.79 ea. Paid 16¢, earned $6 iBotta ($1.50 ea.) and will try to sell them for $2 ea. at next year’s yard sale.

Albertsons $5 eGC are a redemption option if you have 750 PGGE points. PGGE had gone back to just DD and Starbucks eGC so I didn’t redeem any points and expressed my dissatisfaction in a survey. I guess others did the same. Yesterday they sent an email saying that the better gc are available while supplies last. They also have Amazon, HD, etc. Limit 2 per month but was able to get 2 today vs used to be only able to get one a week.

@mistercheap resized it. Fancy candles.

I don’t like fruit scents so I left behind mango-guava in jars & gift boxes. Went with Autumn Leaves, Balsam Fir, Sugar Winterberry. Perfect for holiday gift giving.

In the summer clearance there were bags of stuffed marshmallows (?) and of Starburst pops 50% off so $1.99/bag of pops. I got 5 Starburst pops (the iBotta limit). Added in some previous week sale items with raincheck to use a $20/$20. 15 individually wrapped pops/bag so I have 75/100 needed for Halloween. Waiting to make sure that iBotta resets before buying more. 75¢ back per bag. Expiration date is April 2024 for the candy.

I think there’s a new P&G laundry rebate too.

@mistercheap. Good deal but I’m still working on stockpiled shreds exp. 2022. IF I were to get a 32oz. bag I’d repackage them to keep them from molding. Or make a big lasagne and freeze it.

I’ve been waiting for a couple of things to go on sale and they will be on sale starting tomorrow. It’s going to be a busy final week. I’m going to have to rearrange my refrigerators and freezers to make room. Fortunately many of the things in my refrigerator don’t require refrigeration e.g. coffee, nuts, dried fruit, oil, ketchup, mustards, batteries, facial moisturizers, garden seeds, etc.

Thanks! I just got more RA gc yesterday. Time to liquidate.

@mistercheap said in Fresh Pass Question: Points Expire? vs Rewards?:

Was clipping my Sept. Fresh Pass offers and noticed where I had about 65/100 points banked towards 100, those points are now 0 (reset on 9/1). My ‘earned’ rewards are there but not the points, is that correct? you lose the points if you don’t hit 100 in a month to convert them to a reward?

correct. that’s why I never earn Rewards buying groceries. I never reach 100 in a month.

NVM. Expired.

@briarycliffs it’s now $73. Is that a good deal?

@briarycliffs My landline works even in power outages.

@briarycliffs HELP It keeps wanting me to select Easy Pay. How do I make just one payment?

eta:
NVM, I found the EDIT button. Sneaky of them to try to get me to pay more, lol.
Went through MP where there’s currently a bonus. TCB is only 1% on electronics.
$57.45 with tax.

When does the 60 day clock start counting down, from date of purchase?

@briarycliffs So texts aren’t data? I’ve never texted…

@q-shopper said in Rite Aid - Earn $6Bonus Cash wys $20 in store (stacks with weekly sale offers) Limit one use per account:

@mistercheap not in my ad.

It’s happened before that a regional ad doesn’t show a BC offer but when people try the offer in store it has worked. However, its not 100%. I recall there being a couple of instances (years ago) where something wasn’t advertised in SoCal and the deal wasn’t available there either.

Colgate is not in my ad but when I look up Colgate on the website it shows the sale price and the BC offer. If I put 4 in a cart for BOPUS it shows that I will receive bonus cash.

I’m trying to use up my RA gc so I’ve bought a few TracFone cards. Is that a dumb thing to do?
What are they for? Will they become unusable if I don’t activate them?

1. 500MB data, 500 minutes, 500 texts; 30 day plan $15
2. Unlimited Talk & Text 30-day plan $15
3. Unlimited Talk & Text plus 3GB Carryover Data at high speed, 30 day plan $25

There was a card just for calls but I didn’t get that one since I don’t call anyone.

@briarycliffs GTK that they would nullify my free year. I’ve been getting them in case I use up my free 1500 minutes or for after the year ends. Is that reasonable?

@thriftycamom I just found email addresses in the order confirmations from CFM. Check your old emails. dbclippers said that she’s still selling and I can give you her contact info if you don’t have it. She’s in CT.

@briarycliffs Thanks. I’ll call. I’ve lost a lot trying to use TracFone.😔

I have 75¢ iBotta for Lucky Charms so a 15¢ MM. Makes me feel a little better about composting them. RA is oos of the participating box in my stores.

@mistercheap Dicecardsandcoups.com I think.

I have mine.

My Fanatics code just arrived, a week after submitting.

Found this code in my PetSmart Treats offers. I don’t think you have to have Treats to qualify. Select the monthly plan then use the Promo Code PETSMART3MOFREE.

For previous members, Rejoin Unlimited Sip Club & get 25+ self-serve drinks for only $5/month + tax for 4 months through 10/10 (tomorrow) code is MYPFLASHSALE.

50% back in rewards on ALL ink and toner.
Add coupon code 38207 at checkout.
Offer Expires on 10/11/2023.

@mistercheap Yes. It’s probably a corporate decision whether to continue the loyalty program or not. There’s still Sears & KM dot com. I used the last of my g.c. this past year.

Received $25 in PayPal today.

@mrvietnam Submitted on Oct. 6.

@mmyk They don’t ask for a physical mailing address. I also submitted using different e-mail/device/IP address. Requested an eGC. Waiting to see if it worked.

@mrvietnam Look for clearance Rimmel makeup for iBotta. They’re ~$1.50 each with $2 back. L3 eye, face and lip and there are 2 L2c’s. It reset x 5 for me this summer. Just submitted first one for this round so don’t yet know if it will reset.

If you buy Ben & Jerry’s (see above) you get either a $2 or $4 Catalina. Cats work at any store that has Cat machines, e.g. your supermarket.

The $15 bonus eGC is only valid until 12/31.
If I get cash back from TCB for the gc purchase then that’s a 40% discount + 3% from Amex.

5% CB through iBotta.

I was bummed since I just bought a monitor last week… then I looked at this monitor’s connections: HDMI or VGA. My computer doesn’t have either of those so now I’m not bummed 🙂. There are 4 of them at my store.

@mistercheap You only have one P&G account? 😉

Now $34.99/case. Using a $10/30 makes it $2.49/ream.
