@lo This last offer would make sense if you had a healthy Kmart store nearby, such that you could use the points on normal household supplies or grocery items (assuming there is such a thing as healthy Kmart store), and you were a gambler at heart. Otherwise, not so much.

Has Sears stopped taking PayPal for online orders?
Just wondering if anyone else ran across this, or if it’s just because I was paying for an order using SYWR points for the merchandise itself, but they wouldn’t apply to the shipping (order well under $59). I was going to use PayPal for the shipping, but it doesn’t appear as a payment option…
I used to use free store pickup, but my local store is closing down and it’s no longer an option.

Lowe's "Deal Of The Day" has hit a new level of silliness
Home Depot often has worthwhile “Special Buy Of the Day” items, whereas Lowe’s “Deal Of the Day” typically looks like one randomly chosen item at a modest discount. Today (1/28/2019) it is a Lincoln Electric Auto Darkening Camo Variable Shade Brown Welding Helmet for $59, down from $89.
So, if you need a solar-powered camouflaged welding helmet (and who doesn’t?), you can save a cool $30!
While supplies last, of course. -

RE: NETFLIX plans to increase up to 18% ($11 plan rises to $13 month)

RE: SYWR Points Back with Purchase Offers Thread
@briarycliffs 190+ sounds like a really high total score, more of an NBA thing than NCAA thing…so I checked past year’s championship game scores. Sure enough, nothing that high, ever. Closest were years 1978 (182), 1964 (181), 1975 (177), 1990 (176)

RE: Cheez-Its 4.5 oz box 99c shipped WYB 2 at CVS.com ac

RE: Bosch Drilling and Driving Mixed Bit Set 41-Piece Screwdriver Bit Set $6.61 @ Lowe's B&M - YMMV
@ctgolfer Bosch makes top-notch power tools, but I’ve found their bits aren’t so hot (YMMV).
Another set to consider at Lowe’s is a Kobalt 43-piece set, designed for “speed fit” chucks. The quality of these bits is surprisingly good. I’m seeing it for $7.18 at stores near me, at least those that still have it. Brickseek

RE: SYWR Points Back with Purchase Offers Thread
Well at my local Sears store they accepted my SYWR points today, and even awarded points!
But it was only the first day of the actual liquidation, with yellow % signs at 10% for most stuff.
So no telling how long that will last. -
RE: SYWR Points Back with Purchase Offers Thread
@mrvietnam So can you use still use your points at that closing Sears store?
I figure once the professional liquidators take over (screaming yellow % off signs), it will be cash or charge only. Basically the end of any real deals, too. My local Sears is scheduled to close sometime in March, but hasn’t entered that final phase yet.
Uping the free shipping threshold from $35 to $59 puts a crimp in the online thing, plus as briarycliff noted points won’t even count towards that starting in February. I suspect that stings anybody that went for the $400 points back over 12mo deal, etc

Amazon: ELEGIANT Bluetooth Transmitter/Receiver, V4.1 w/aptX, USB powered, includes optical & wired cables, $10.99 Prime
ELEGIANT Bluetooth Transmitter/Receiver, V4.1 w/aptX, USB powered, includes optical & wired cables, $10.99
Works great for me as transmitter from a Hisense HDTV to cheap Nakamichi bluetooth headphones (TV does not have built-in bluetooth). I’m using the included USB cable to power it from the TV, and the included TOSLINK cable between the device and the digital audio output on the TV.
No lag! Just what I was looking for, as I can easily toggle the TV speakers on/off separately via setup from the TV remote, without affecting the digital audio output. It also includes a 3.5mm audio cable and an RCA audio cable, neither of which I’m using. The accompanying little user guide, as is typical, is written in Engrish, and is a little hard to follow…
I might be lucky, but it was also no problem pairing to the Nakamichi headphones!

Office Depot® Brand Multipurpose Ream
Thanks to all who replied. Craigslist was a good idea, but just not now, at least in my area.
I already spent the few Staples and OD rewards I had.
$30 a case/$3.00 a ream still seems too high somehow, and the current OD deal is even worse (for only 2 reams yet).I did find some old deal postings about Hammermill Copy Paper, which evidently has been discontinued for Hammermill Copy Plus Paper.
I snagged a few reams at my local Walmart for $1.00 each. Couldn’t find cases of it though, which go for $9.00 if you can find them.For anybody else interested, here are Brickseek inventory links to Hammermill Copy Paper at Walmart:
Hammermill Copy Paper, 1 Ream, UPC: 010199180407, $1.00
Hammermill Copy Paper, 10 Ream Case, UPC: 010199050014, $9.00 -
Where are the best deals on copy paper? (now that Free-After-Rebate deals seem to have evaporated)
Now I guess I regret not amassing a garage stacked full of cases of copy paper, courtesy of Staples or Office Depot. It seemed unnecessary at the time… oh well.
I’m down to my last ream of Boise X-9 copy paper from an Office Depot deal back in April, which yielded an Office Depot $40 gift card. I really miss those Staples copy paper rebate deals!

In case you hadn’t done Kmart’s recent up-to-$25-SYWR-points-back deal yet, and were interested in an emergency backup spinning outfit…
Likely the spinning rod is pretty nice, but the other stuff is probably not too great. Kmart is shipping it to my local Sears for pickup.Kmart’s product description is as follows:
This is a complete, ready to use fishing kit featuring a genuine Ugly Stik. Everything you need to go fishing is included in this kit.

RE: SYWR Points Back with Purchase Offers Thread
@my4mainecoons Lol, what a tangled web these SYWR points offers turn out to be! Yes, I did the $10 purchase first, and then immediately spent those $10 in points (the 2-day expiration proved not to be a giant obstacle!)
As far as the $3 FreeCash thing, it shows “Expires 12/14/18”, with these additional details when I click for more:
FREECASH in points:
Limited-time offers we’ve created just for you. If your order qualifies for one, we’ll show it to you in cart. These offers expire within 1-14 days and are automatically applied first when you redeem Shop Your Way points on an order. While a FREECASH in points offer can be used with points, can’t be combined with Sears card offers, other FREECASH in points offer or certain coupons and promo codes. -
RE: SYWR Points Back with Purchase Offers Thread
@lo Thanks Lo, I did that $10 points on Sears store-pickup deal, got the points immediately upon pickup, then spent them the same day.

RE: SYWR Points Back with Purchase Offers Thread
@lo Most interesting parenthetical remarks I’ve read in some time! I’ve stayed away from the Sears Marketplace points-back deals, but wondered if anybody has been taking regular advantage of them. I will say that SYW Customer Service has quickly fixed the few issues I’ve had over the years.
Ya gotta wonder though, with the inevitable demise looming, just how long you can expect stuff to keep happening as described.

Craftsman tools at Lowe's stores vs Craftsman tools still at Sears and Kmart
Anbody else notice the raft of Craftsman merchandise at Lowe’s stores recently?
Not just the tool carts/chests, but also lots of hand tools, all packaged in solid bright red.I’m guessing all the tools in “traditional” Craftsman packaging, mostly in red/black shading, will be orphaned and eventually clearanced out at Sears/Kmart…?

Staples: NETGEAR Nighthawk AC2100 Smart WiFi Router (AC2100), $54.99 ($79.99 - $25 w/ coupon), Free Shipping
Supposedly $179.99 regular price, with $100 Black Friday discount, plus the weekly $25-off-$75 coupon they keep emailing me worked (surprisingly).
This might be a special Netgear model sold only by Staples–can’t find many reviews for it. However, my 2-year old AC1900 works great, and this seems worth it just to have for an “emergency backup” router.

Great day to combine this with discounts from gift cards, cashback sites, promo codes etc
If only Lowe’s online inventory system for picking up items at stores was accurate.
Otherwise, be careful using gift cards on such orders.
It usually takes a while to get Lowe’s to refund you on items that aren’t actually at the store.
I can only imagine how that scenario would gum up this rebate too. -
