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!

Coupon is one of three “25 Merry Days” coupons you must load to your Kroger card account TODAY, it’s at the bottom of this page:

Kroger - 25 Merry Days

The coupon works on a Private Selection Hickory Smoked Brown Sugar Spiral Sliced Ham , currently on sale for $1.99/lb.

I found a nice 8.17 lb one marked on sale for $16.36, so with the coupon loaded it rang up for $6.36, or about $0.78/lb.

Lots of ham and eggs ahead for me!

Note: This coupon is good until 01/01/2018, even though you must load it to your account today.

Nice! This should come in handy for some upcoming wiring projects. Thanks melody!
