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.

Last night my offer dropped to 35% back and today its $10 back wyb $20.

Data point. I made a CVS purchase using Capital One last month and nothing tracked.

@mrvietnam he died? Wasn’t he only ~4 years old?

@mistercheap Agree. Usually I test transactions but this might be an instance where it doesn’t come off until you finalize (like the current $5/$5 wyb gc) and once it’s finalized it can’t be voided.

I had CS clip the offer on the account that I can’t log into. I’ve spent $10 on one account, $9 on the other.

Spring is in the air, but this offer won’t be for long! Get $2.50 Cash Back when you spend $20 or more at any of our retailers—but hurry, this offer ends tomorrow! Click below to activate your reward before it’s gone.

@mistercheap CS told me that it would come off the next time I had a $20 basket. Didn’t say anything about clipping it. I wonder if the $20/$20 has an expiration date. LMK what you learn.

Thanks! My nearest scoop shop is the factory. 🐄

@mrvietnam unless it’s changed, they do work at SCO but the $5 doesn’t show until the very end. The screen shows $0 taken off but the $5 comes off when you finalize.

If you want to test it, ring up the transaction, scan the $5/$5 and drop a piece of scrap paper in the coupon slot when prompted. Finalize. If it worked then drop the $5/$5 in the coupon slot. If it doesn’t work tell the SCO person what happened. Explain that you didn’t drop the Q in initially because you wouldn’t be able to retrieve it if it didn’t work.

One isn’t supposed to be able to purchase GC at SCO. When I do it I use a register next to the SCO person’s area to make it easier for both of us.

The 4x j4u points offer can be clipped starting at midnight on Saturday and is valid Saturday and Sunday only. Doesn’t apply to VC, MC, gas, phone and Albertsons store cards.

All of the $5/$5 will have the same expiration date, the end of the promotional period.

5% Discover cash back on groceries until the end of March.

I have $15 Albertsons eGC that I bought for TCB $2.50 promos. Have been saving them to use them to buy $25 gc.

@mrvietnam Google Zift Zillions gift cards. Look up the Acme ad.

They eliminated my favorite For the Home.

Gas has gone from $2.99 to $3.46/gallon at Shell. Two weeks ago I paid $2.49/gallon after Race Day and SR discount.

@mistercheap According to CS it’s a $20/$20 basket q.

Expired.

Not necessarily hot but came across it while comparing prices to PetSmart’s 20% off sale.
Treats, supplies and a little food.

Credit will be applied 30 days after shipment and will expire on July 7, 2026.

Shaw’s just has the Violife creamer. Hard pass.

@MISTERCHEAP I can’t imagine not being able to spend the $20 but a reminder that tofu and the refrigerated protein bars are produce items. I have $1.35 back on Perfect bars from iBotta.

@mistercheap Nice! Let me know how the $20/$20 credits. it runs until the end of next month so I was going to space it out. It would be sweet if it is like the $20/$45 which was once per account.
