Free Cascade dish detergent
Thanks to WildforWags for the heads up on a $5 rebate when you buy a small bag of Cascade Platinum. The detergent is on sale for $3.99 at Walgreens this week, and there are probably also other places where you can get it for less than $5. At that price, you even make a little money after postage. The rebate … Read more
Money back on TurboTax 2014
Ordering TurboTax for Home & Business is a necessary evil in my world. It was made slightly less bitter today since there’s a pre-order discount of $10, PLUS I found out that if I went to the TurboTax webpage through Ebates, I’d get 7.5% cash back. I signed up for Ebates a while ago but kept forgetting it existed, so … Read more
Free-ish photo book
My work requires a lot of typing and mousing, so I’m often looking for more ergonomic ways to use the computer. Last week I bought a Wacom Intuos Pen and Touch Small Tablet to use as a mouse. A few years ago, I bought the Apple Magic Trackpad for the same reasons, and now I wish I had bought this instead. The Intuos product … Read more
Still being cheap
Two months to the day that I last wrote here. I’m still being cheap, but I haven’t been very motivated to write about it lately. In September, I had an extended viral illness that limited my ability to go couponing and that also motivated me to start writing fiction again as a way to entertain myself. As I often am … Read more
Another awesome day for free stuff at CVS, and on the curb
My main form of socialization with my friend Dekalb is now couponing. It used to be fixing things around the house, but now that repair and handiness is his full-time job, he no longer seems to think that helping me finish my basement is a fun way to spend an afternoon. So on Saturday – after two days of riding … Read more
The secret to spending absolutely no cash when buying stuff at CVS
I got back last night from 10 days in Texas with Companion, which included four trips to CVS. I guess that sounds like a lot of CVS trips, but they are always within a stone’s throw down there (including one down the street from Companions’ parents’ house). Nonethless, companion says he will be happy not to go to CVS again … Read more
Good deal on women’s shaving cream at CVS this week
I got a good deal on shaving cream at CVS this week. Skintastic is on sale for $2.19 and part of a deal where you get $10 in CVS store credit if you spend $20 on select items. I bought 9 cans (my CVS had a huge, well-stocked display midweek, so I didn’t clear any shelves*) and used a combination … Read more
Hilarity at Walgreens, for 20 whole minutes
I had the funniest (as in “funny ha-ha,” not “funny looking”) transaction at Walgreens today. I bought four items and it took the cashier and manager 20 minutes to ring me out. Actually, I guess that qualifies as “funny looking” as well as “funny ha-ha.” There were two problems. One was that three of my items were on sale for … Read more
