I pulled the battery, left it for a few hours then reinstalled the battery. It was off, YAY!. Powered up and chose option to let it start Windows normally. It worked! Looks like the key to enter BIOS is F12.

@dangeRuss I wasn’t able to get to screen to boot in safe mode or any mode for that matter. That’s why I was trying to get to BIOS.

SAD NEWS…
Over the past few years 98% of my coffee purchases have been Staples clearance.
Looks like that might be ending. They are discontinuing most brand name coffees and are only going to be carrying Staples brand coffee made for them by Keurig. AM told me yesterday when I asked why all the K cups were on sale. Am I correct that a $xx.90 is a discontinuation price? Does that mean the price won’t drop any further? IDK if they’ll still be carrying bagged coffee. AM said they would not be getting restocked on sale priced K cups.
Unless noted, all of the following are 18 ct boxes with sale price $9.90.

Newmans Own: regular, decaf, French roast
Eight O’Clock: original, dark Italian, Colombian, decaf
Tully’s: Hawaiian, Italian
Caribou
Gloria Jean: Butter Toffee
Keurig/GMCR: Breakfast blend, Dark Magic, Half Caff, Nantucket, Hazelnut regular, Hazelnut decaf, light roast decaf, French vanilla
Dunkin Donuts: regular, French vanilla, Hazelnut
Starbucks: Pike Place, House blend, Caramel
Donut Shop: regular, decaf, coconut mocha

Cafe Escapes Chai Latte (16 ct)

@zennuts said in Rite Aid 9/30-10/6 Spend $40 in participating items, get $15 BC Lim 2 (ad scan):

Do they count the value spent before or after coupon?

before

Another nice MM is Suave Mens Body Wash on Sale BOG50%. RR $2.49-$2.89
Earn $2 BC wyb 2. Earn $1 OYNO catalina wyb 2. Tracks towards the $15/$40. L4.
Buy one pair at a time. Roll the catalina onto the next pair.
I have higher priced stores so net 59¢ oop for $3.33 towards $15/$40.

SEARS: $60 back on $60 and $75 back on $75 in Home. 3 installments. First posts 24 hrs after purchase and the next ones on the 20th of the month. Since offer goes until 10/20 one could purchase on 10/19 and have 2 sets of points posting on the 20th, the first & 2nd installments.

In theory one could do both offers on Oct. 19 and on Oct. 20 have $20, $20, $25, $25.

Sort of OT, but If you want to be eligible for both CO51 and S* you need to use different email addresses. My RA email addresses are all linked to S* accts and I use a different email address for CO51. Since CO51 requires uploading receipt it doesn’t matter which RA/S* acct you use. If you use the same email address for S* and CO51 then overlapping offers won’t appear on CO51.
e.g. Cerave baby ointment is on clearance at RA for $3.24 - $2 ip. Earn $2 S* and $2 CO51 (L1). The CO51 offer has been resetting each week so each week I buy another Cerave on a different RA acct, get another $2 S* and another $2 CO51.
e.g. Love Beauty & Planet on clearance at RA for $2.34 - $2 L2c get $2 S* and $2 CO51. Wait a week and buy it again on a different RA acct. This product is harder to find than Cerave.

@mrvietnam merchandise return cards are same as gc AFAIK. I’ve bought a lot of gc at KM using gc but not recently. I added gc in with a purchase just so it wasn’t so obvious. I used to get Staples gc there but since Staples has dried up Amazon and gas gc might be your best bet. Have not tried buying eg prepaid Visa cards at Sears or KM.

@ctgolfer I didn’t receive an email but today when I made an instore purchase I received a $10/$10 CRT coupon.

We’re safe for now!!!
I did the following this past weekend to spend down my Sears gc:
$75/$75 appliances
$75/$75 lawn & garden
$60/$60 home
$15/$15 clothing
$75/$75 Kmart

Received the first installments automatically with exception of KM. Had to call to get those posted due to my order status not changing from In Process to Picked Up and evidently they can’t change it so I might have to call again in 35 days. Already used most of the $110 in pts earned by converting some back to gc (~$50 put back onto gc) and miscellaneous stuff such as 2 stage fuel, ice melt, water softener salt, etc. Ran out of time so unable to check to see if KM had restocked on Mobil One 5 qt 0W-20.

@mistercheap I believe the limit is 4. This is the same monthly offer we did earlier in the month when it was MM w/ $1 OYNO catalina, $2 monthly BC and counting towards $15 wyb $40 weekly.

eta: the catalina offer ended yesterday

@gatorj If you don’t do this already, next time make it obvious.
Sharpie is wide and conveniently goes through the value of the coupon used.
I try to buy a lot of other stuff on the receipt as well.
My oop was $19xx, received $13.29 from Natrol and $6 BC for Rimmel.

I just did the $50/$50 Sears B&M (thanks @Lo )
My favorite socket set, $99.99 RR, $24.99 SP
Paid full price w/my Sears gc: $99.99 + $6 tax.
Received back $82.50 on gc and $50 in 2 installments.
Not sure but I think it was a $30MM.

The Rimmel coupons always require override at RA. No matter what you get, it comes up “no matching item”. Not a reason not to do the deal, just know that the q’s a beeper.

$25 back on $25 on tools.
$50 back on $50 on clothing & accessories.
$250 back on something but couldn’t find what.
$600 back on $600 over 24 months… maybe not… we’ll see what happens on Nov. 15

Thurs & Friday only $50 back on $50 almost everything. Usual exclusions like Lands End, etc. probably apply.

40 pc socket set will be $24.99.

#2 of 3 installments and #2 of 2 installments from the 100% back offers will post on Nov. 18.

Craftsman Snow Blower $100 gc challenge. Technically not a SYWR deal but didn’t think it was worth its own thread. Single stage snow blower might be adequate if you live south of Mason Dixon line.

If you find a Toro single stage snow thrower at your local The Home Depot with a lower sale price (at least $1.00 lower) and the same features as Craftsman model #71-88980, then Sears will give you a $100 gift card for use on a future purchase. Sears online price at the time of purchase will be used for comparison purposes. 1.

The price of the competitive model must be at least $1.00 lower than the Craftsman model to be eligible for consideration. Competitive item must be available for purchase at your local The Home Depot at the time of comparison. 3. When you purchase your Craftsman model, you must then submit proof of the lower price on the Toro item from your local The Home Depot. Proof must be in the form of original print advertising, a screen print of the product page online showing your local The Home Depot store price and date, or an in-store promotional flyer. Sears will match the model to the comparable Craftsman model and will determine, in its sole discretion, whether the submission qualifies. To qualify for the gift card, the Toro model must have the same features at a lower price than the Craftsman model #71-88980. Note: your local Sears store is not able to make the determination on a submitted claim or award the $100 gift card. The gift card can only be obtained by submitting the claim form and supporting documentation to the following address: Craftsman Snow Challenge 3333 Beverly Rd. C4-182B Hoffman Estates, IL 60179 In addition to the supporting detail listed on the claim form, be sure to fill out the claim form in its entirety. Failure to do so, will void your claim. Print your form here. 4. The Craftsman Price Guarantee applies only to the Craftsman snow thrower model #71-88980, sold only at Sears Full Line Stores or on sears.com. Offer not valid in Sears Hometown, Hardware or Outlet stores. 5. Limit one submission per household. 6. Excludes Toro’s commercial product, one of a kind and reconditioned items; outlet store items; products at military PX, online only offers, items or prices that are closeout, clearance, or net of a rebate or gift card; bonus or free offers, special offers, bundled offers, financing offers, rebates, coupons items offered as part of a private or “friends and family” or similar type event, competitive service agreements, extended warranties, used, damaged, returned, open box or display merchandise, items that are limited in quantity, offered for less than eight hours during a day.

Hand written documentation will not be accepted. 8. In the event of a return of the Craftsman merchandise, the value of the gift card will be deducted from any refund amount. 9. The Craftsman Price Guarantee is not valid on layaway or leasing transactions.

@zennuts said in Rite Aid 11/18 - 11/24 (free - possible $1 MM if you have the emailed Q - Colgate tp a/ in-ad Q/man Q):

Best Buy GC is $15 BC on $100. However, people over at SD said that BB no longer allow buying of 3rd party GC with BB GC.

definitely no longer able to buy 3rd party gc w/ BB gc. We discussed it here when it happened.

Cyber Monday deal. Members get 100% CASHBACK in points up to $25 in points at Sears.com. Points available 12/3-12/9. Max $25 in points and 1 time per member. Cannot be combined with other offers. Valid through November 26, 2018 11:59 PM CST

I think the “cannot be combined” means that if you buy $250 item you’ll get the $250 back as $25/wk but you will not get additional $25 back for Cyber Monday.

Note that this offer is up to meaning I don’t need a filler for my $24.99 item.
Also, do not make a $2 purchase prior to making $25 purchase or you risk MrV’s problem (see above).

well, I fell asleep before 11 and woke up at 3 so I wasn’t able to use both $10 off codes. OTH, RMN changed from $10 back wyb $90 to $20 back wyb $45 so picked up an extra $10 there. Got a Kohls gc at Rite Aid yesterday (using Bonus Cash) so after everything ended up paying 58¢ on Amex for $99.99 toaster oven (reg price $119.99).

This week there’s $5 Bonus Cash at RA wyb $25 Kohls gc so will pick up another gc to use with Y2U next week.

@ukedog Maybe you did the $10/$10 offer before Dec. 1 which is when the $30/30 seems to have started. I’d be concerned about doing the $10/$10 first at this point. The system might think it was the “up to $30” offer.

@dangeruss Do you want that many bagels? I’d create a new acct for muffins or pastries but not worth stopping in for a bagel.

@lo said in SYWR Points Back with Purchase Offers Thread:

Looks like it’s F&F all week through next Friday. Also $25 back on $50 at Sears, both online and in store.

@my4mainecoons Do you know how F&F interacts with the RR tool deal in store? If the socket set is $24.99 pre-F&F (not sure if it is or not, last week it was actually $25.99, but let’s just assume $24.99 for now for simplicity), would I pay $84.99 at the register and get back $82.50? Or would I pay $99.99 at the register and get back $86.63? Or something else entirely? Thanks!

I got to experience FnF.
The register subtracted 15% from the reg retail price but that didn’t affect the amount of the gc!
eg. Universal set 904250 RR $23.99, sale price $6.99. Paid $20.39 in pts and received gc for $18.70 which is based on $23.99-$6.99.
Then, because it only used $20 of the $25 I was trying to unload, I got a penlight paying $1 on gc to get back $5.
So for my $25 in pts + $1 I received $23.70.

Very frustrating however that none of the usual $5.99 tools are on sale this week. The $6.99 RR multi tools aren’t on sale either. Ended up with more LED penlights.

We’re not fancy folks. Don’t wear jewelry and don’t smell nice So I guess if I ever get into the Kohls game it would be for resale.

@fivetalents I’ve been buying stamps on eBay and like anything if the price is too good to be true, it probably is. If you look at the ones @KohlsPowrShopper listed, they sure look legit. Is @DoctorDiscount saying those are fake? I expect there are folks like @MrVietnam who have them from liquidating OD Rewards just as I have genuine HP ink for sale from Staples.

@mrvietnam Can you please move your post to the Deal Discussion instead of the Deals thread so this one doesn’t get derailed again?

For those interested, there’s $25 back wyb $50 in clothing from the Marketplace.

@mrvietnam If you won’t move it will you please remove the space occupying photo? While I appreciate your concern for us, those of us who play SYWR know what’s going on w/ the company.

Might be a good time to buy postage stamps, lol.

@Lo Well surprise, surprise. $25 in pts just posted to my acct on Dec. 23. I guess I did that KM offer and don’t remember doing it.
Now AFAIK the only thing I have outstanding is $20 on Jan. 7.
Sadly the Universal Set has doubled in price.
Happily, the magnetic pick up tool is on sale again. Hoping it will still be on sale on Jan. 7.

Maybe Oriental rug sellers rent space from stores that are closing. Seems like many stores that liquidate suddenly have Oriental rugs or there are pop up store fronts advertising Oriental rug liquidation. I remember one on 5th Ave NYC that was going out of business for years until they enacted legislation putting a time limit on “going out of business”. If they are legit businesses they’re probably not the best deal.

"Probably 95 to 99 percent of all oriental rug liquidations are scams,"
says James Ffrench, director of Beauvais Carpets in New York and a rug appraiser
on TV’s “Antiques Roadshow.” “I often see the same merchandise, supplied by the
same importer, with the same sales staff, all around the country.”

I think I’ll wait for Prime Day.

1.This is a limited time offer. The promotion will end at 11:59 PT on 12/31/2019. The promotion code will expire concurrently. Amazon.com reserves the right to cancel or modify this offer at any time.

@fivetalents I did a Kohls Christmas offer x 3 on Nov. 19 and received the cash back for each one. I activated a Staples RMN offer last week but didn’t make a purchase. I’m hoping that doesn’t count since I didn’t redeem it.

$15 approved and pending x 2. Only did it twice.

I actually received Surprise Pts this week-- $15 wyb $600

@zennuts said in Rite Aid 1/20 - 1/26 ($10 BC back wyb a $100 MyVanilla Visa, so $6.55 MM after fees; cheap to MM Ricola Immunity):

Is it cash only for Vanilla standard policy enforced on the register?

cash only for variable load; credit card works on fixed value cards

@midori Thanks. That sounds like the one I have in the linen closet for 2nd floor squeaks. Full size ones are near the garage. I wonder if the Spray & Stay is a rebranding of the Rust Inhibitor we got FAR a few years ago. I sprayed my snowblower. The small can might be enough to treat it once.

Original flavor is also 10¢ at my location. WM.com says “as low as 5¢”. Good luck! These look like things sold at the registers.

Jack Links Beef Steak Bar 0.9 oz $1, $4.61 on Amazon? Teriyaki is also $1. Not sure if that’s a normal price since stores have a LOT of them.

B1G1 Jack Link’s Beef Steak Strip, Any 0.9 Oz. (Limit One Coupon Per Customer) - SS 01-20-19, exp. 04/30/19

Coupon makes the steak bars 50¢ ea.

Two days ago I logged in to search for something and the coupon popped up.
I never get eBay coupons so was very surprised.
Item I wanted was $5. Coupon would not apply.
I messaged the seller and asked them to raise the price to $5.01. They did.

@mistercheap Wasn’t available on desktop version but found the offer on the CO51 app.

@connman Thanks. Nothing in my location. Everything “local” is in the city an hour away and nothing I’d drive for, e.g. $2/$10 at a car wash.
At least with KFR you can get gc.

arrrgh. One subscription per magazine per year.
Gave in and earned some more points.

I just ordered 6 magazine subscriptions and some discount coupons for friends & family.
Down to 13K pts…

I created profile for Toby who weighs 22 lbs. He’s a little overweight but 22 lbs is not out of line for Maine Coons. Amazon recommended weight management food.

There was no code in my email. No coupon for $10 off on Toby’s profile page.

Already posted in the Pet Food thread along with the additional bennies (S*, CO51). I can’t remember how to link.
