Good advice on WM and money orders. The local WM doesn’t let me purchase MOs with prepaid debit. One per day may not be worth it, and I don’t make it a habit of cashing more than one or two MOs per month, and always with other checks I need to cash. This rate of money order cashing never raised an eyebrow at my local bank.

@ctujackbauer I have enough to cash out of CO51 but I like Magnum
Our sale price is Buy 2 Get 2 free, Magnum’s reg. price is $5.99. Its only for the tubs. It also includes Talenti RR $4.99 and B&J RR $4.99
I have the following J4u on one acct:
50¢ off wyb any one Magnum product
$2.50 off wyb any 2 Magnum tubs
$1.50 off wyb 1 Magnum tub
$1.25 off wyb 1 Magnum tub

I don’t need ice cream but I wonder what J4u would attach.
Best case scenario would be $11.98 - $2.50 - $1.50 - $1.25, so $6.73 get back $3 from CO51
That would make them < $1 ea.
I’ll test it with a cashier who won’t mind if I cancel the whole transaction if total is too high.
Better yet, I’ll do it at the service desk.

I bought 8 cards in one transaction today. YMMV.
Cashier asked “how many cards do you have?” 8
"because I know there’s a limit" Yes, $2000. I like even numbers otherwise I’d have gotten 9 but 8 cards is only $1600 so you’re fine.
“ok” and she rang them up.

While you’re picking up your PB cups at WM pick up a pack of men’s Bic razors.
$5.97 - $3/1 ip or insert q today (8/16). Submit for $3 iBotta. 3¢ MM before sales tax.

Confirmed, $4 / cartridges for 2nd month

@my4mainecoons Glad everything worked out and thanks for posting your final results. My intro level Fire tablet is sock drawered because it is so slow/under-powered, so I’m not surprised that the issue did turn out to be that it just took forever for the files to load. Kudos on finding a microSD card… that’s like finding money in your laundry pockets!

When I did it I changed CO51 email address. It was easy but that was a few years ago.
S* T&C says you have to contact CS to change email address and I’ve never tried.

both now oos

Monday’s paper deal is $34.99 for a 10 ream case of Hammermill.

@my4mainecoons said in P&G Summer Scale Rebate $5 wyb $20 or $15 wyb $50:

@niniss Send one rebate to a friend.

I was thinking to have my mom file a rebate, but just saw mrV’s 1 per address reply. So yeah, I may give to a friend.

i tried to buy a mobil gas gift card at the mobil gas station and he told me they didnt sell them there anymore!

The 5% Visa bonus option has been there for a long long time.

This turned into a Hot Deal for me.
Received an email from our Chief Information Officer in which he mentioned ongoing project of swapping out W7 machines since they were no longer supported.
I asked what they do with the machines. Could I buy one? Gave him specs I wanted: W7 with 64 bit, at least 8GB memory and 500GB HD. Small form factor preferably.
"If it’s a PC that is end of life for us I would give one to you."
and later from a tech “Those specs match our EOL machines. I can have one ready for you by next week, if you’d like.”

@zapjb I’d be bored if I retired. As for stocking up, I’m a coupon shopper with a stockpile. I have a year or more of food and supplies on hand all the time. When my sister asked if I had any hand sanitizer I shipped her a couple of containers of sanitizing hand wipes. Last weekend my neighbor needed mayonnaise. I have an annual sale to rotate the stock so most of it is less than a year old but I have cases of toilet paper, Kleenex and Clorox wipes left over from last year’s sale.

This would be a good thing for me to use some of my ink rewards money on. Every month when I want to spend my ink rewards it is hard for me to find anything worthy of buying at Staples.because of their greatly inflated prices, but stuff on sale like this is a good use of the rewards IMHO.

@mrvietnam said in Gold Bond $2MM at Walmart via SavingStar:

My local Walmart didn’t have the trial size hand cream, but it had the body powder for 97 cents. I see that the body powder trial size does not qualify.

I finally found a Walmart that had the Gold Bond hand cream trial sizes and I got my $5 in all my Savingstar accounts. Thanks again for the HU, Maine.

@c3 said in Staples 9/29-10/5 B&M only. $200 Visa gc no activation fee:

I turned in my ink cartridges and had my Rewards card scanned. The cashier forgot to add the $200 Visa, so that was purchased in a separate transaction. The cashier did not bother to scan my Rewards card, saying that I would not get any reward for the Visa anyway. I just checked my Staples Rewards account, and both transactions are there, even though my Rewards account number is NOT on the Visa receipt. I have never seen that before.

When you do back to back transactions, they still have your rewards information in the system so I think it just applies to the next transaction also. I have had that happen to me before, too.

the mint green is now $19.99 and the Paradise is oos. I’d say this is expired.

New Low Price! Now $14.88.

@jbw said in Staples 9/1-9/7 B&M only. $200 Visa gc no activation fee:

Can these gift cards be ordered by mail with free shipping? My local staples is closing and the closest one is several miles out of the way.

Unfortunately not. As stated in the OP, this is an in store only offer.

Actually, they might ship free (or for a nominal amount), but they won’t have the Activation Fee waived, rendering the deal moot (unless you have MrV’s 20% Chase CB offer of up to $13).

There’s also an AMEX offer (YMMV) of $10 back on a $40+ purchase @ Staples.

I’m s Premier Rewards member and I did a mock online order and, yes, there was no shipping fee, but there was a $6.95 activation fee tacked on, too.

@my4mainecoons said in Why can't Smart Phone access store's wifi?:

iBotta

Some have a accept TOS page.

@my4mainecoons said in Is Staples Rewards no Longer Deducting Coupon Value?:

Kiosk receipt doesn’t have the coupon on it so I should be able to get the whole $16 rebate. (Maximum rebate is $16.) The packing list won’t have the coupon either.

Looking at my last kiosk order, the packing list does have the coupon total under “coupon credit”. The kiosk “customer copy” doesn’t look like a receipt.

Just a heads up that I purchased a $50 Amazon GC today in store and all the 3 offers hit:

Double amex points
$10/40 Staples
$5/25 any office supply

Therefore, pretty much any gift card works, they also have Ebay, many other popular retailers B&M/Online and of course Staples GC.

This offer is now dead. Staples Plus membership is back up to $49 a year.

Expired.

Paid $2 for Arrowhead at Target this weekend.

What a scummy deal that is, I signed up just for this offer and as soon as I log in to my newly created account it is now longer showing. If I log out and go back there the offer is still available…that is until I log in. Scam Site

Deal expires today

Received email from Amex acknowledging that I’d used the Staples offer within minutes of making the g.c. purchase.

That’s a good price per pod. Here’s another deal at the same price per pod (as low as $0.15 per pod if you use Subscribe and Save). It’s an Amazon brand.

I was waiting for this month’s Rewards check to buy shredder.
Today I bought the only one left and SURPRISE! It rang up $19.46.
I could have gotten 2 w/ my Rewards…

There was an 8 sheet for $22.36 (?) when scanned w/ gun. I presume it would have been same at the register.

Staples brand is going away in favor of Tru Red so expect to see more Staples brand items on clearance.

@my4mainecoons said in Rite Aid 5/19-5/25 $1.66 for a 24 pack of Water (attn: MisterC):

@mistercheap why does it end tonight? The Teavanna & Fresh Food & Protein bar are good until 7/6. The 30% off is good until 5/27 and then FnF is Fri & Sat 5/31 and 6/1-- more 30% off. Coupons printed at register today.

yeah, you’re right. forgot about it being valid beyond today.

@barrytuneup said in 2 DAYS ONLY! Staples B&M $1.99 for 24-pack bottled water, exp. 5-4:

@mrvietnam if you have a Wm near you… around here the 24 pack is 1.69 all the time!! 35 pack even better deal.

Thanks for sharing. I’m not getting the water at Staples because it’s a great deal. I’m getting it to use up some of my Rewards from ink cartridge recycling. Better to get $1.99 water than to buy other more price inflated items of which there are many.

@my4mainecoons said in Domino's Pizza dot com only. 50% off plus 9% back through SAH; exp. 3-24-19:

Domino’s has been running 50% off this week, expires today.
Just received Groupon offer for 50% off any online Domino’s order.
Shop At Home has 9% back on Groupon.

don’t think CB works, all they are doing is giving you the coupon code to enter at the Domino’s site. you aren’t purchasing a groupon per se.

@MISTERCHEAP Why is this expired if you can stack the 50% off Groupon code with the 50% off Domino’s offer?

@my4mainecoons that wasn’t how you communicated the post, you just said it was a 50% off code with 9% CB (as if it were a Groupon offer than you buy from groupon).

There is no cash back, Groupon is simply redirecting you to the Domino’s order page where you enter that code.

Now if the two 50% codes stack, that means 75% off the price total and that’s how you need to post the deal, with stacking offers, not as a Groupon deal with cashback. there is no cashback from Groupon here. That’s why it was expired as a ‘dead’ deal.

thanks
