It's July which means that we can go to our rebate apps and requests our funds!!!! The 4th of July is in a few days and I am looking forward to with my family here and a couple of old friends coming by.
July is going to be a more tumultuous month and we can't prepare for it, it's just going to come. We got a small preview last week with this bill that our politicians are going to pass that poor people don't get medical, food stamps or housing assistance and it's going to cause chaos. If you've ever seen the movie, Mad Max, it's like a precursor to what is happening now with our social order.
Anyways, we worked our butts off couponing in the month of June. In fact, there was a couple of times that I went late evening and last week I got caught up in terrible traffic about two miles from my home on the I-15 freeway. CALTRANS is doing something to the exit and on ramps and it is causing horrendous traffic jams after 7 pm. I had to go through another neighborhood to pop onto a different freeway going east to get another freeway to get home...and it took me two hours to do all that.
One of things I love about having access to more than one store account is that when a deal is really, really good. I can do that deal more than once especially when it's a money maker!!! Like I got five boxes of the Star Wars Wheat Thins for free and I kept one box for us and the rest goes to the food pantry...keep in mind at my nearest store, they had a boatload of the Star Wars Wheat Thins on the shelves even after I had taken three on the first day and two on the second day. I was able to do the deal two different days because I had access to two accounts.
I love the fact that we can try different products and we had bought the Ocean Spray Juice 6 pack for $1.21 and we love those little juices. Initially, I was only getting two them but once I got in store and saw them, I decided to buy four juices to max out the deal on Swagbucks....and I'm glad we did! Speaking of Swagbucks/MyPoints (no guarantees) if you've ever forgotten to activate an offer on either app but you'd already bought the product and you don't feel like going back to the store and doing a return and re-buy? Go ahead & activate the offer on SB/MP and the very next day, submit your receipt to SB/MP and it will probably go into Pending Jail for up to 9 days BUT most likely by the next day or the day after the next day, your receipt will be approve! Of course, no guarantees....YMMV. There are times when you just don't have the energy to run back and forth to a store because you forgot to activate an offer. All I can say, it's worked for me.
Again, if you don't feel comfortable doing something don't do it...always, always trust your own gut feeling, your own intuition. It took me a long time to trust me. There are weirdos out in this world that absolutely love seeing someone fail and I had to learn to step into my own greatness and trust my own intuition, morals and thankfulness.
I received $175.23 PP from IB, $226,19 from T-Mobile Settlement, $11 BofA, $42.85 CO51, $35.75 RCB, $5 Target gc from Merryfield, $25 Target gc from SK, $25 & $10 Target gc from SB. $1 from the NBPR Rebate, (6) $1 from Aisle Bonus and $9.99 for Bluey from the Box Top Rebate!
