Do you enjoy influencing brands and voicing your opinions? I love that some companies SEEK OUT consumers' voices!

You may recall a few Tuesday Travels posts where I brought my cute little Snuggle bear - that was part of my participation in the Snuggle Bear Den Community.

Double Dip Money Back on Bananas



Many of you ask about saving money on meat and produce. Both of these types of items do have savings available, but it can sometimes be a bit of work.

Savings apps like Checkout 51 and Ibotta are two great ways to save on produce and meat. Both are 100% free to sign up. Checkout 51 can be used on the computer or on your Smartphone via an app, while Ibotta can only be used via the app. You can view and unlock rebates on Ibotta on the computer, but you'll need a Smartphone to scan the UPC/barcode on the item and scan your receipt.


This week, you can double dip on savings on bananas. Get 25 cents back via Checkout 51 on your banana purchase from ANY store that shows an itemized receipt for bananas. Get another 20 cents off your banana purchase through Ibotta for a purchase at a bunch of different stores including BJs, Stop & Shop, Shaw's, Walmart, Target, and ShopRite.

I bought 1 lb of bananas for $.49 at Shaw's. I redeemed my Ibotta rebate for 20 cents and my Checkout 51 rebate for 25 cents, so I paid a final price of 4 cents!!

Rite Aid Freebie - OOP vs. Net/Final Price Example


When searching for deals online, you may often see couponing lingo that is difficult to interpret. OOP is a commonly used phrase that stands for "out of pocket." It literally means the money you will be spending out of pocket, although you may end up saving more later through points, rewards, rebates or gift cards. What you actually spend overall after rewards, etc. is called your net or final price.

This week at Rite Aid, Neutrogena soap bars are BOGO 50% off.
In my area, bars are around $3.29 retail.

Buy 1 Neutrogena bar at $3.29
Buy 1 Neutrogena bar $1.64 (BOGO 50%)
= $4.39 OOP

You will get back $5 worth of points wyb 2. You can do this offer twice per Rite Aid card.
=$.07 MM 


So here, the deal is technically a money maker in the long run, but you will be spending $4.93 plus tax out of pocket.

Word on the Street: K-Mart Double Coupon Event Back?



This is just a "heard it through the grapevine" notion at the moment, but word on the street is Kmart will be having a Double Coupon event coming up starting 8/30.

So be on the lookout for more information. I'll post it as I get it.

Typically during these events, your first 5 coupons valued up to $2 (that do not say "do not double") will double... This means a $2 coupon would be worth $4!! This is the ONLY store I know of to do this.

You can only double 5 coupons - so give your highest valued coupons first.

And your overall purchase must be $25 before using your coupons. So considering buying stuff you need anyway if your couponed order doesn't reach this minimum.

Happy Couponing!
