Yesterday I used Shaw’s gc to purchase a $75 Chewy gc and received the $15/$15. Used $15 Shaw’s egc’s purchased for TCB bonus back when we only had to spend $15 to earn the bonus.

@mistercheap Since @mtnagel was able to buy Dunkin gc maybe you can buy SR gc?

I’m thinking about getting the largest multipack available— for Halloween. Maybe Costco?
I’ve given out Nature Valley granola bars in past years, thanks to GM rebates.
Last year I gave out NutriGrain bars courtesy of a Kellogg rebate. Kids weren’t thrilled lol but not my problem.

These offers usually run for 2 weeks so I doubt it expires tomorrow as mentioned in the OP.

@mtnagel a chicken Caesar salad or chicken Alfredo pasta & 20 oz bottle of Coke = $10.98+ tax.
For another $1 can get 2L coke instead of 20 oz.
IDK if there’s a coupon for entrees.

ShopRite supermarket is great if you’re in that area. Sadly, it’s 200 mi. south of me.

I might get Domino’s and freeze it.

@mistercheap Unless it’s changed, they’re in the Philippines. Their English and CS is better than Pakistan/India.

I like this stuff in Kind bars. The problem with this product is the certainty that I would eat the whole bag at once. Bars are better for those of us who lack self control.

Don’t forget to purchase on Saturday or Sunday for 4X points.

@briarycliffs How do I turn off data?

This is the first time I’ve seen Staples offer no activation fee for virtual cards.
Last week (ended yesterday) there was the usual no activation fee for physical $200 Visa gc and the week before that there was no activation fee for $200 MC gc.
I wonder if the virtual Visas will become part of the monthly rotation.
They don’t carry many denominations of MC gc online.

I haven’t found the T&C yet to know if gc purchases qualify.

Thanks for linking the individual items. Appreciate the effort 🙂.

@marvomatic these are always YMMV and account specific

@marvomatic that’s not part of the $10/$30 deal. Title says Salt, Cookies, Potato Chips but I didn’t find any salt, just snacks.

I looked for Morton salt but there wasn’t any.

Because P&G rebates are on the price after coupons one has to purchase $65 worth of product to earn the $15 P&G rebate. Not nearly as good as the $15 credit for buying $50.

The shrinkflation of it all. Coffee used to be sold in 1lb cans, then it went to 12 oz. Now its 11 oz.

Zift isn’t shown in the ad.

@mrvietnam Probably NYC and DC. They were excluded from the battery recycling that just ended.

I just recycled a coin battery. No $2.99 charge but no credit either.

@mrvietnam May 2. I checked yesterday.

@c3 for April? April offer exp. 5/2.

The 20 oz. Chex Mix tubs are 50¢ cheaper at Amazon ($7.47) than Target ($7.99) before the $10 off. $7.47 at WM.
5@$7.47=>$37.35-$10/$30= $27.35 for 100 oz, 27.3¢/oz.

BUT while price checking WM came across this which is 25.9¢/oz.

I’d pay the extra 2¢/oz at Amazon for tubs that can be recycled vs bags from WM. Tubs reseal better too. Not to mention it being easier to shop Amazon than to go to WM (unless you have WM+ or whatever its called).

@mistercheap It’s crazy how they change things without notice. Last year my account that can recycle 30/month suddenly was only able to get credit for 10. That happened for 2 months then it went back up to 30. An account that had 15/month when the new program began got dropped to just the 6. Then 3 months ago as I handed in the 6, the cashier told me that I could recycle 16 more (16+6). The account was also upgraded to VIP even though it hasn’t done anything but recycle & redeem Rewards. Lesson learned: check the accounts before recycling.

I recently used Rewards to buy a Toto toilet seat 😃. Using a $20/$75 coupon it was cheaper than Amazon or WM so no PM needed. Now I’m saving for the little handheld Dyson. Dysons don’t get discounted and are excluded from coupon use at Macy’s, Kohl’s, etc. but not at Staples.

Not at Shaw’s

My store stopped accepting any tech except batteries a few months ago.
Is there a link to the list of “select states”? Previously some stores didn’t recycle batteries, specifically some stores in NYC & DC.

@mtnagel IMO Cottonelle>Charmin. Less lint and better FPF (Finger Poke Factor) 🙂.
The Charmin is for newer homes. It wouldn’t fit in either of my bathrooms.

Be on the lookout. 50% off at Shaw’s so probably cheaper elsewhere. If 50% is programmed then items with 50% off stickers will end up 75% off.

One of my stores recently had SB Xmas hot cocoa on the clearance shelf.

5 Parm goldfish @$2.79 ea
6 Cheddar goldfish @$2.69 ea
$30.09 -$10/$30=$20.09
$1.83 ea

Have I used 1417 minutes or do I have 1417 minutes remaining? I know that I haven’t used any data so that makes it look like I’ve used 1417 minutes.

@mistercheap it has to be used on dairy & produce

Is Data what you use when there’s no wifi to access the web? Is 3GB ~ 3000 minutes? I’ve never accessed the web any way other than a wifi network.

Does this one have just 45gb of memory? What is a 3GB add on card?

@MISTERCHEAP did you use your $20 credit yet? Did it just come off a $20 transaction without activation? Did the $20 in groceries include more than just dairy & produce?

There are codes printed along the edge of the rolls of stamps and other “checks”. I stopped buying stamps from eBay years ago because I couldn’t be certain that they were real. I missed the CVS deal.

@sonofzeus buy a $20 egc on TCB to pay for Shopback purchases unless gc use is excluded.

can you explain this Maine for the rest of us? thx.

Buy a $20 egc from TCB, earn $2.50.
Make a purchase through ShopBack. Pay using the egc. Earn % from ShopBack?

Not sure if this still works, but for those with j4u, buy supermarket eGC. The next time you buy Zift cards use the supermarket eGC to pay.

@sonofzeus buy a $20 egc on TCB to pay for Shopback purchases unless gc use is excluded.

I don’t see anything about cancellation in the T&C.
Usually they notify one before charging the automatic renewal.
I’m thinking that one could cancel before being charged.

Last year I bought 40 wide mouth quart jars for $25 on Marketplace place. Kept 15 and sold the other 25 for $20.

I store almost everything in Mason jars. If you have a FoodSaver use the jar attachment on Mason jars to keep everything fresher for longer. Opened blocks of cheese won’t mold or dry out for months. The cats get a raw diet. I make ~6 weeks worth and freeze it in jars.

Picked up some clearance items, used Rewards for oop $0.95. Asked for the free crayons. They hadn’t brought them to the register yet. I must’ve been the first person to ask. It was after 3PM.

New to this. I just checked my PayPal “Rewards” tab for the first time and saw I’d receive 1000 for using PayPal. Can my oop be any amount?

What are the GB of memory (?) for? The one with only 64GB is $30 less.

@sonofzeus look it up? We shopped at both.

@rick505 can’t you get a new phone with 1500 minutes/year for less than that? I thought that’s what folks did but I’m no expert; I’m ~6 months into using my first TracFone.

@marvomatic Last week Shaw’s had the small boxes (8 oz.) on sale for $2.29 ea. There’s a $1/2 mq in J4u or as a peelie on boxes. There’s a $1/1 ibotta. Net was $0.79/box, $0.09 per oz.

@mrvietnam There’s a different offer now that includes Nabisco.

https://phatwalletforums.com/topic/41812/amazon-crackers-nutrition-bars-cookies-etc-s-s-25-off-expunk

Nabisco, Clif & Luna Bars, Sour Patch, Halls throat lozenges (?) and a few others but at higher prices than sale price at supermarket.
