Oops, sorry didn’t see the saw there. Good deal if you like them yaller tools!

Ok, Shop Your Way members, this promotion has been going on for at least a week now. However, I noticed today that it wasn’t only for a few “select” tools/tool sets, but virtually everything sold by Sears under the Tools section. With the notable exception of “Garage Organization” stuff (e.g. tool cabinets) and get this: screwdrivers (lol).

Did you know that Sears sells lots of non-Craftsman branded tools? Such as, but not limited to, Dewalt, WEN, Powertec, and so on. And that often Sears has price-matched Amazon, or is even lower? So even if your not a “Craftsman fan”, you might find something of interest. Especially if you already have SYWR points to burn and some “Freecash” offers…

NOTE: Just be sure when applying your SYWR points, to still pay Sears at least $75. Otherwise you won’t get that $50 in SYWR bonus points! Typically you get those points when your tool order ships.

NOTE2: Your $50 in SYWR bonus points are only good for 7 days! So before ordering, it’s probably good to have some plan on how you’re going to spend them. Note this “store money” is good on anything at Sears or Kmart stores, as well as Sears and Kmart online. So for the latter, it likely means more free shipping!

NOTE3: Today (Mon 2/5) is the last day that topcashback.com is offering 6% cashback on Sears online orders. I’m pretty sure that tool orders apply…

@my4mainecoons Coons, thanks. I might have to swing by Staples and burn that coupon this weekend. Lots of stuff seems to apply: https://www.staples.com/deals/Cold-and-Flu-Supplies/BI1423256

I got a $5 off $10 coupon on cold and flu stuff, in-store only. I didn’t even know Staples was in that game.

I see I got my extra $10 in SYWR points, along with a couple of nice Freecash offers at Sears
($15 on bedding, bath or small kitchen appliance purchase of $15 or more, $15 on sporting goods purchase of $20 or more.)
It’s a mystery to me just how long they can keep this up!

Sooner or later, they have to lose surface tension and just go under…

@mistercheap Well said MrCheap. For a tool junkie like me, the SYW rewards program has enabled me to save a lot of money on Sears tool-related orders, often paid using rewards on consumables bought from Kmart.

It’s not widely known that Sears.com sells lots of tools and shop supplies besides their own Craftsman brand, and their prices often are competitive with Amazon (and can fluctuate just as much). Also Amazon doesn’t give me “surprise points” or “free cash” to use either.

I just don’t get all the grousing. I sure will miss my local Sears store when it closes. They haven’t announced it officially, but you don’t need to be a detective to see that new stock is not being put out, and that empty shelves and item hooks outnumber others.

The trick for me was finding enough Smart Sense stuff that offered free shipping, as my local Kmart store was (regrettably) shut down last spring. Almost none of the grocery products, and only a few paper good items applied. A couple items were even disqualified as I was loading up my online cart–likely the effect of various “deal websites” like this one, har! I sure miss the days of picking up my 100%-points-back paper products and groceries at the store.

Now Kmart pays UPS to ship them to me instead! Whatever helps them out on their crazy race to the bottom!

Office Depot periodically gives 100% rewards back on stuff like paper towels, batteries, printer paper, etc. I found you can use those rewards to buy 100-roll USPS Forever stamps, where they tack some nominal fee on (~$5 I think) to send them to you.

Just another idea for saving on postage stamps–if you’re not in a hurry, of course!

@fivetalents I think I got it figured out, thanks. If anybody else is interested, I found that this webpage makes the whole operation super easy:

@my4mainecoons Yo coons, I clipped the list at $4.80 or under, right now I’m just trying to figure out how to get tables to display correctly in this Markdown-powered forum. So far, not much success!
