@my4mainecoons LOL…from what I can remember of it, I have never taken one either. :

Thanks, was just putting in an Amazon order. Not a big fan of this stuff, but in an emergency it’s nice to have around.

@my4mainecoons
I took Macroeconomics in college…lets just say it was

@my4mainecoons I guess it’s like the fish caught in Alaska and then shipped to China where it is processed, packaged and shipped back.
When your labor force is that cheap I guess it’s economically feasible.

Also found this
Among EU Member States, the Netherlands was the largest importer of goods from China and Germany was the largest exporter of goods to China in 2020.

Someone must be making money somewhere.

@my4mainecoons On another brand they explain it. Looks like the same packaging different wholesaler.

Q: How is it made in Europe, packaged in China？

A: This is a great question, and we can understand and accept the consumer’s doubts. Actually we can offer the cheaper products for the following reasons:

• This is an authentic Swedish Dishcloth – from a brand that you can trust! It is imported from Germany! Fun Fact – A German Company bought the original Swedish company 20 years ago – thus Swedish Dishcloths are now primarily made in Germany!
• Wood pulp and cotton rags exported from Germany to China are not slices seen by buyers, but finished large barrels of coils. After arriving in China, they are cut into pieces of different specifications according to different uses and then divided into packaging. China’s labor, storage, turnover and other costs have more advantages than European and American countries.
• In terms of shipping, from Germany to China and then sold to the United States, there is only one more ship freight, which is much cheaper than the cost of labor, storage and turnover in Europe and the United States.
• Our goods processing is in a coastal port city in eastern China , where the basic conditions such as manufacturing, processing and transportation (mature industrial chain) have obvious advantages. In addition, the products are mainly shipped to the western United States, and our products are shipping directly and fast between China and the Pacific Ocean.
• The above four points also expound the optimal rule of division of labor in global supply chains.

It sounds like they’re made in China

The description says

Anyone else get the same thing?

Here you go
https://www.walmart.com/ip/Mobil-1-High-Mileage-Full-Synthetic-Motor-Oil-10W-30-5-Quart/17034353

I think this only gets $5 from the rebate. It’s just the EP that gets $15

Any Mobil™ Full Synthetic motor oil
Mobil™ Full Synthetic
Mobil™ Full Synthetic High Mileage
Receive a $5 Mobil 1 Visa Prepaid Card

Just realized this is Mobil1 so it would be a $10 rebate as opposed to the $5 for Mobil
Here’s a pic of the Mobil

So that would bring it down to $6.56 with the price drop @GatorJ mentioned.

Think I’m in for 1 now.
Still wish they had put sku/upc’s on the rebate page. Would have been easier to figure out

@my4mainecoons

Sounds like it would be better suited for the bathroom or for “wet stuff” you don’t want in your regular kitchen trash.

@fivetalents said in FREE Marlboro Rewards Points:

There’s only 200 points available for August. 50 of those points are for voting in the daily poll for the new Ten for 10 Sweepstakes that ends 09-05-2021. I’m hoping you get 50 points every time you take the daily poll but the rules don’t specify this… we’ll see soon.

The daily poll gives you a sweepstakes entry daily but only credits 50 points once/upon 1st entry.

It renewed on Sunday so looks like the 50 points is weekly

There is also new items that might be of interest. A Visa Rewards card and a Gas Rewards card

$50 Visa or Gas card for 30,350 pts
$25 for 15,700
$20 for 12,300
$10 for 6,750
$5 for 4,150

Does anyone know if you can get two or more of the same rewards? I have enough to get $75 in Visa. Would get one gas, but not enough details on how and where they can be used.

Edit: Answered my own question. You can order two. Got a $50 and a $20 Visa. The $25 are out of stock already

@ctgolfer You’re right. So many different grades I got them mixed up

@ctcarl
Here you go
https://www.walmart.com/ip/Mobil-1-High-Mileage-Full-Synthetic-Motor-Oil-10W-30-5-Quart/17034353

The EP High Mileage is a little cheaper @19.24
That would be $4.24 AR

Looks like both are on clearance…so may be hard to find at some stores.

Just a reminder…this ends tonight if you got it.

@mmyk said in Insignia™ - 24" Electric Induction Cooktop - Black $69.99 + FS @ Best Buy - DoD:

Great price for 2 burner top. BUT it says 1500W which from my experience is under-powered even for 1 burner.

For a regular 15 Amp outlet, you’re not allowed to draw more than 1500W.

Actually it’s 1800VA for a non continuous load and 1440VA if max current expected to last for 3 hours or more.

Noncontinuous load, 15A receptacle:
15A / 100% = 15A
15A x 120V / 100% = 1800VA

Continuous load, 15A receptacle:
15A / 125% = 12A
15A x 120V / 125% = 1440VA

Even commercial 1800W cooktop burners are rated for 15A circuits.

Just got an offer when I signed into my Paypal to buy $25 in crypto and recieve a $25 PP credit. Can’t see a downside, but was curious as to which of the crypto’s I should get?

The choices are BitCoin, Etherium, BitCoin Cash or Litecoin.

Might just leave it in there for awhile and see if it does one of those crazy spikes that they all had in April/May.

Figure it could be the thing that makes me look at crypto harder and maybe dive into it.

P.S. It’s a targeted offer so I didn’t post it in Hot Deals.

Was going to grab one, but it is plastic.

@chryslerguy said in Blue Diamond Almonds 6oz Cans Two for $3.59 ($1.80 ea) after BOGO sale and $1 Digital Walgreens Store Pick UP:

Great deal, but mine keeps saying coupons not available… what gives?

Works for me. Does it show the coupon but when you clip it says not available?

“Due to incredible demand we are out of free samples and mailable offers.”

Guess it’s over…they do have a BOGO coupons as consolation
