@mistercheap You’re just rubbing it in for us Virginians about the Landshark offer.
“VA Residents: Purchase price of beer must be $24.00 or more, excluding sales tax.”

@mistercheap This is a long shot, but if you’re near an airport I bet you can find Teavana costing more than $2.99.
But you’re right, AB has some silly-ass offers mixed in there. Just be glad you don’t live in Virginia, where most minimum purchase prices are doubled!

Fwiw, starting today, according to what I saw briefly while doing Bing searches on my PC.
The normal daily PC search limit is 150 points, but it went up to 300 points today. And supposedly for the next 9 days.
Quicker route to that $5 Amazon gift card!

@ctgolfer Any concerns about possible counterfeits?

And points to our local Sears store that closed down here in March.

@briarycliffs Thanks yet again briarycliffs, #AB-1118 checks out!
Interesting tidbit: Bud Light is the #1 selling beer in Hawaii–go figure!
My standard house swill is Milwaukee’s Best Light (essentially Miller Lite), but I’ll make an exception here.
Plus Walmart has 12-packs for $10.47

No stores left near me, and I’m tired of having to pay out-of-pocket for shipping (can’t use points)–and I don’t mean the $59 free shipping either, but all shipping takes actual money. Sort of takes the luster off getting items “free” by paying with points…sigh.

Personal Shoppers let you order anything with free shipping, even cheap items paid for entirely with points. The caveat is that they only work M-F 9-5:30 CT so you’d either have to catch your PS during that time period via the app chat or phone, or I guess maybe email them and hope they can place your order before the price goes up or something. It’s a free service, you just have to sign up for a PS and be willing to interface with a human to get your free shipping.

https://ps.shopyourway.com

Interesting, thanks. LOL on the “be willing to interface with a human” bit…what a price to pay!

So when I ask my PS to order a single $2.99 t-shirt from Kmart, all paid with SYWR points, should I expect some pushback?

@my4mainecoons said in STP Extended Life Oil Filter with 5 Pennzoil Platinum Full Synthetic Motor Oil 5-Quart Bottles with a $10 AutoZone Gift Card $22.99:

so much cheap oil lately, why?

Ours is not to reason why
Ours is but to do and buy

@ctgolfer Thanks, looks like a good deal! I like the convenience of the quart bottles over the 5qt jugs.

Cashback Flash

Not only just the brave, but for folks who have a nearby Kmart and/or Sears store to burn those points. And assuming that there is anything left in store stock of interest.

Btw I’m a “VIP Gold - MAX Annual” member, which along with $0.85 gets me a small cup of coffee at 7-Eleven.

@fivetalents None in the Miami FL location…

sorry, just felt the wiseass urge.
Typically, this is often a good time to pick up space heaters, humidifiers, and that kind of stuff.

A deal if you can use a nice drill and already have B&D 20V tools like weedeater, hedge trimmer, etc that use the same batteries. I’m a fan of B&D 20V stuff, and my similar B&D 20V drill is on year 3 of regular use. Do I use it to drill 1/2" holes in concrete, or screw down 350 sq ft of deck boards? No. But I’d reach for it for just about everything else.

@ukedog Expired (at least until next time)

Previously I’ve gotten some good deals from Zoro on industrial/commercial stuff, i.e. cheaper than Amazon, Lowes, Home Depot etc. Especially when they run these coupon code discounts, this one being: SAVEDAYS (Today is last day)
Random examples: extension ladders, fire extinguishers, generator transfer switches, batteries

If you go through TopCashBack, you can use this coupon code and still get 4% cashback…
https://www.topcashback.com/zoro/

Zoro is owned by Graingers, but imo is way cheaper and better customer service to boot!

@mistercheap Interesting idea, and it would be especially useful if specific links were included. Btw I think Kroger and Anheiser-Busch are in cahoots on some of these.
For example, one of the few beer rebates that was available in VA, $7 for a Stella Artois 12-pack, required a $14 minimum purchase price.
Kroger had that sale priced at $13.99. I asked at Customer Service if they could ring me up at slightly over, say $14.50, but no dice (and yes, I’m that cheap).

@my4mainecoons Posters and banners, split between kids/grandkids for my fam, and some other cycling-related ones to hang up at our local YMCA. I did a bunch of the latter back in 2017 with Staples, so this was perfect.

I see my $92 in Rewards from this now, evidently happened April 10. Nice!

@kohlspowrshopper Home Depot is also miles ahead in accuracy of inventory for online ordering, I’ve found. The hard way!

@briarycliffs Noted, thanks. Several SYW Sweeps changes in the last couple of weeks. The regular “Instant Win” games have petered down from 4 daily down to none. And the XTRA games don’t typically payout much over $0.50 in total a day–with one exception I described above. On the other hand, for whatever reason, the “Win It!” (phone app) bonus games awarded me $9.00 in points yesterday: 5,000 in the morning, and then 4,000 later in the day. Whoo-hoo! It’s been a couple years since I saw anything like that!

@ukedog Dunno if it’s just me, or April Fools Day (or some combo of both), but SYW Sweeps XTRA games are actually paying out today. I’m only 4/10 through the batch, and I’ve already hit two 500 points and two 250 points games, plus a couple typical 100 and 50 points ones. Btw games are loading slowly too, with the occasional “WOW! What a Crowd!” timeout (gotta reclick XTRA I found). Just saying. YMMV

@ctujackbauer Thanks! Worked great–I’m definitely not above a free dollar!

Looks like a good deal, providing you go along with the software subscription model (not for me though).
I’ll limp along with Office 2010 for as long as I can, which seems ok even with Windows 10.

@fivetalents Not a lot of dough for a lot of doh!

@ctgolfer In case you find C-SPAN too exciting? (Sorry, couldn’t resist.)
Depending on who reads it, could be interesting. I’m thinking maybe Gilbert Gottfried…

@briarycliffs Thanks briarycliffs, #AB-695 checks out!
That one expires before the #AB-827 Devils Backbone one, so I guess the SAs will be next beer buy, as chasers.
Currently I’m working through a case of Guinness that I was gifted, and it’s almost like drinking dessert!

@ctgolfer Some Walmart stores are also clearing out older model Franklin Sports pickleball paddles, usually located near the tennis racquets (if not moved to some central Clearance spot). I found a graphite one that rang up for $7, and an aluminum one that was $4.

Distant cousin to tennis I know, but fun to play imo.

@marvomatic I’ll second that! (pun intended)
Seriously, if brand names aren’t your thing, I think you might squeak by with Cooks Standard branded cookware, and even afford to buy it new/unblemished.
We got this Cooks Standard 5 quart saute pan (link to Amazon for reference) a couple of years ago from Sears, and it’s been amazing! We used SYWR points of course, and ended up paying about what tax would be for the equivalent All Clad pan…

@my4mainecoons Hmm, didn’t get that email. Wonder if I’m “qualified”. I bought over $200 worth of posters in 2017, using both online and in-house (hand over USB stick) at the print center at my local Staples store. But I see this bit in the details: “Offer available to customers who have purchased at one of our self-serve devices, scan, shred, faxing and printing from the computer workstation.” Never did the self-serve via workstation thing.

I do see it’s in-store only. Guess I’ll mosey on over and find out.
Worst case, I should be able to use that $10.50 instant-off coupon I just discovered in my rewards “coupon wallet”. Always forget to check that!

Wow! Time to order up some posters, for sure! THANKS!
So what staples page were you on to see/capture that coupon? I’m not seeing it on my Rewards page or the print/marketing page…

Amazon Add-On Item Finder: https://shopaddonitems.com/
A little different than “filler items”, Add-on items often are more expensive, yet typically are priced lower than normal.
Searching for only Add-on items on amazon.com can be frustrating, hence this site came about

Just wanted to weigh in one more time on this, after my second order with KrogerShip. Wow! I can’t believe how well everything got packed, and all using paper (bio-degradable) packing materials–save for three large zip-lock bags that some liquid items were put in first. See pic below. Truly night-and-day compared to how I’ve received similar stuff from Amazon Prime, e.g. dented, broken, spilled etc.

Btw my order was mostly canned goods and such, and barely hit the $35 minimum free ship (I took advantage of the free-ship-no-minimum on my first order). But I did find some excellent deals, especially on “no salt added” items and curiously enough Meyer’s Clean Day products. Such as 5 of the dish soap for only a little more than what 3 would cost me at Amazon. I found some other items I can’t get at my local Kroger stores as well.

If you haven’t tried this yet, you should check it out. This time it took a whopping 2 days after I ordered to see it on my doorstep, via FedEx ground. I will definitely be using it again for certain items, assuming they can keep this up!

@harperr

• Q: Will I forfeit that $1 digital credit on those teeny orders that I’m not in a hurry to get?
• • A: You bet, buckaroo!

I have to either give up drinking beer, or else move to a SELECT STATE!

@ctujackbauer Whoa, you’re right–THANKS! Sorry for my confusion. SYWR junkies, $1 in points following ctujackbauers post!

@ctujackbauer “You were so close!”, sigh. Thanks anyway. Maybe others can cash in on this doorbuster!

For me, sweeps instant wins and Win It! spin wins have petered away the last couple of weeks. A few months ago, I was averaging close to $10/wk spending a few minutes a day on them. Now it’s closer to $2, if that…

Uh oh. All the way up to $0.50 now–I guess this hot deal has expired!

@mistercheap Not seeing the love here, at least yet. It’s weird though, they’ve texted me a $10-off-25 in-store-only coupon right before the last two snow storms, late in the afternoon–and good for only that same day!

@george2001 You could run a little test on your plus membership. Order one for delivery, wait for the shipping notice, and then order another one.
Repeat that all over again, then again, etc.
Or, first you might want to wait until it drops down to $0.18.
