Working on getting some rebates out today.

Tip of the day
Rebates, to reduce your chance of rejection mark rebates, receipts, with name and addie. Paper flies everywhere in those processing centers. When a name is on the crt is makes it easier to match up to the envie and to the form.

I have ordered several self inking stamps from vista. I love the stamps!
Self inking stamps are still one of their free ones you just pay shipping on....

Last month it was delmonte veggies, and this month it was ken's salad dressing.

Most likely you can use them at the next store sale in a few weeks.
It's a gamble I make and has paid off many times.

I changed the way I buy groceries. Every purchase is a mini run. Yeah it takes a few more minutes, but it pays off with my rebates.

why:
My pet peeve is to find a big crt and waste all the other purchases on the crt.

• meat in $10/$15
