The Many Ways to Save Money for a Rainy Day
A reader, Denise, says the following:
Was not able to buy the popcorn at Walgreens. They only had one left. If you need to buy something to get your $5 points buy a Reese peanut butter cup for $1.79. Load the Walgreens $1.25 digital coupon and load the Walgreens store coupon. I paid 4 cents for it. If you want to buy 2 then it would cost 25 cents for both. Krazy Coupon is where I saw it posted.
Last night, I noticed that there was some kinda issue with the Kroger, Food 4 Less and Ralphs websites, I was getting like a skeleton website like you see pictured above. Today was the same story but I decided to try the Firefox browser and low and behold not a single problem.
I assume that Kroger blocked me in Safari because I'd have Ralphs, Kroger, Food 4 less, Fred Meyer, Dillon, Fry's, Mariano's, etc. opened all at the same time while working on the Comparison Shop post.
Thank goodness, I can get into my Kroger accounts on Firefox!

I usually watch my Youtube videos in Chrome with ad blocker BUT I always thumbs up the videos so that the youtuber gets a good algorithm and more money. Just google "Ad Blocker Safari" or Firefox whatever browser that you use. Just remember to give the content creator a thumbs up.

Submit for $3 Ibotta

Final: FREE + $9.86 MM!!!
Last night, I watch Ohio Valley Couponer on YouTube say that Shopkick will no longer give you credit for a purchase when you submit a receipt UNLESS the item can be verified by Scan Kick.
As we know, over the last two months, corporations have been laying people off due to high inflation and consumers having way less discretionary funds to spend. So, company layoffs and lessening marketing funding by increasing the rebate requirements is how some companies think they will stay afloat.
Shopkick has been laying low every since they were paying us $9.44 MM A&W Root Beer, Squirt, Canada Dry, 7-Up 2 liter to take the sodas out of Vons and Albertsons.
I want to talk more about the rebate apps but I've got to get my thoughts together. I've started writing a post but there's a lot and I don't want to kill y'all off! There is a fix BUT a lot of you are not going to like the fix.
Look for my post "When the Money Doesn't Make Sense, It's Not True"...and I'm going to archive this particular post under the category "Money Matters".

The first Walgreens that I went to there was something wrong with their registers and there had to be 10 people in line waiting for the registers and that was a sign from God to go to the next Walgreens.
I went to the next Walgreens which is the closest to my home, and I walked around looking for orange tags with cheap, clearance food items to use for my Penny $5 Booster on my other account and low and behold, I stumbled upon the FREE Werther's Original Caramel Popcorn!
The Werther's Popcorn deal, you'll need to go in store to see if your store the popcorn on shelf as you cannot trust their website today.w
UPDATE: I am out of Ibotta Jail and I have withdrawn my money.
On Saturday night, I watched this YouTube video and she was talking about the ibotta changes and that she'd been locked out of her Ibotta account for more than a week after she'd requested to be cashed out via PayPal. I had one more rebate to redeem and I'd complete the $5 weekend warrior so on Sunday, I went over to Vons and grabbed the Ferrero chocolate bar and I was done with the weekend warrior bonus.
I went into the Ibotta app and I linked my PayPal account to my Ibotta account for the umpteenth time. I submitted my receipt to Ibotta per usual, and then I requested to withdraw to my PayPal account $79.23.
Anyways, I won't be participating in any ibotta deals until they release me from their Audit Jail. The Youtuber was in Jail for like 10 days and whenever they decide to release is when I'll go back to doing Ibotta deals. I want to say that this is the first time that I've been in Ibotta Jail.
This experience also tells me that from now on that I will be requesting my funds each time I hit the minimum threshold of $20.
This is a heads up that you may go into Audit Jail, if you request your funds.😡
This offer may be a targeted offer meaning you did not get the exact rebate offer that was given to me. Check your Ibotta app for your offer.
If you don’t have an Ibotta account, use my referral code UAA and you will get $10 when you redeem your first rebate!

I have been saying for years to chase Money Makers and FREE items (if it makes sense for you and/or your family) and do not chase Ibotta bonuses. I am very, very picky about participating in any Ibotta bonuses unless there are a lot of Money Makers or FREE items and the bonuses are the cherry on top the cake.
It appears that Ibotta will be getting out of the bonus business as customers will no longer be able to use multiple shopping trips to redeem the same offer as a unique offer.
Anyways, you can read the latest Ibotta's musings, What is a Unique offer?, here.
Thank God, we have the three amigos!
Yesterday, I posted about the FREE+MM Zebra Pens at Dollar Tree and it took forever for CO51 to approve 4 Zerbra pens but the 5th pen set was a little different and although none of the pens actually says "Zebra" on the receipt, the 5th pen's verbiage is completely different then the other four. Therefore, I ended up paying $0.05 per 2 packs of pens.
I believe the pen in the middle is the culprit!

It’s possible there’s been more snow in L.A. this winter than in D.C. and NYC. https://t.co/sqUAAtNEnJ

The last week, it's has been cold especially with the high winds and the rain. Folks out here are actually wearing coats outside. I have a short waist length puffer coat, as well as, long puffer coat. I also have hats to keep my head warm. I do have gloves, too...I believe I am missing one of my gloves. If I have to go home for an emergency, during the winter, I am ready to go.
Vons and Albertsons stores has the CORE bar and the CORE Keto bar on BOGO FREE sale and if you still have a $1 off Produce coupon, you'll be able to get the bars for FREE after Ibotta!!! Make sure to read the Ibotta offer details for the participating items.
Good news! According to the Smart Source preview, there will be new Air Wick coupons coming on Sunday!!!!!! I love home fragrances especially during late fall, winter and early spring when we tend to keep our windows closed and the air indoors can become stale.
It’s Saturday …enjoy your day! On Sundays, I take the day off from blogging.
I am waiting for the timer on the stove to go off so I decided to look at my Fetch Rewards account.
Check your Fetch account for 500 points for any Albertsons, Vons, Safeway or Pavilions receipt! I am sure any affiliate store has the offer.
sistersavingucents on Instagram posted the picture above saying that the Dollar Tree have the Zebra Pens for $1.25 each and there's a $1.50 Zebra Pens, limit 5, CO51 offer which makes the pens free and a Money Maker!
At Ralphs, I purchased the Starkist Light Tuna in Water for $0.79 and the purchase qualified or glitched for $0.50 any Brand Wild Alaska Sockeye Ibotta offer.
While I was out and about, I looked at my Instagram account (pic by couponing.craz on IG) and they were talking about the Oral-B toothbrushes, Buy 3 get back a $5 Walgreens Cash or $5 Register Rewards...I guess the Walgreens system is acting kinda wonky or maybe, it's regional differences. Plus, you can submit for (3) $2 Ibotta offers. See my previous post about the Penny $5 Booster!
However, when I got to Walgreens, my store had the Oral-B Vivid toothbrushes tagged for $3, Buy 3 get $5 In-Store Rewards. The $3 off 2 and the $1 off digital coupons came off on my receipt.
DQ = Digital Coupon
IB = Ibotta
FREE 4-count MacroBar Multipack (up to $11) Rebate at Target or Walmart $1 GoMacros MacroBars, see offer details, Ibotta Thanks, Denise!
