Anyone track their Beer & Wine no alcohol purchase required totals?

[jenjacobs]

We moved to NC in August and I discovered the awesome beer and wine rebates that don't require alcohol purchases - it is a state law in NC so I have been all over rebates this fall. I think it is similar in other states

I have receievd $52.99 in rebates and have close to $150 outstanding.

I have found Coors to send the rebates the quickest. Anyone else want to share totals? I'm curious if someone has tracked all year. Thanks

Jen,
I have rebated in NC for 20 years and have tracked every rebate every year. You're right that NC is the best (of all 50 states) for free-money rebates. I'm getting maybe $300 from this type of rebate this holiday season. This is the most lucrative rebate season in history, and I'm lucky to be in the most lucrative rebate state. I already was saving 100% of my grocery bill via coupons and rebates before the onslaught of alcohol-company "don't-buy-alcohol" rebates arrived on Nov. 1. What a holiday!

What I'm not lucky at is finding the forms. I've gotten several from people on other boards but just can't figure out this hotcouponworld board. I've given up trying to figure out how to e-mail anyone on this board (including you - I've seen several of your posts that I wanted to converse about) or access certain parts of it. If anyone wants to clue me in, I'm at kcorbin at juno dot com.

I don't total my rebates, but a quick look at the files gives me an estimate of over $500 from these no-alcohol rebates so far this year and plenty more from regular rebates.

Arkansas is also a state that will not let them require a beer or wine purchase. I am new to getting rebates from the beer companies, but I love it. Generally, it is something I would buy anyway, and I have saved my receipts. Finding the forms are my biggest problem, so I trade. If I ventured into a local liquor store do you think they would have them?

I'm not sure what the alcohol laws are in your states but I have only found the rebates in grocery stores and gas stations. Grocery stores sell wine and beer here and gas stations sell beer. We have a separate state run liqour store. It doesn't hurt to check. My best bet has been to trade and to visit alot of different stores (I just kinda rotate where I shopped the last few months - Harris Teeter, Lowes, Food Lion and Bi-Lo). Between those to things I have done alot of the great rebates.

OK I live in NC and have yet to find any of these forms. What am I missing?? HELP!!!!!!!!!!

I don't have any totals-I don't keep track so I'm pleasantly surprised when they come. I know it is alot.
My hubby became a believer when I found a form for a $20 gasoline rebate.

Since the 1st of January I have received $372.94 in NBPR/NWPR rebates. If you include all other rebates (Walgreens, Rite Aid, MIR, TMF, etc), I have received a total of $851.51 + several coupons for free items and free movie tickets.

I currently have $96 in outstanding beer/wine rebates and $213.22 in total outstanding rebates.

I love rebates!!

I have found that it pays to stop in other stores of the same chain too. I don't know why one Shaws would have different rebates from a Shaws 30 miles away but they do sometimes. I have $119.50 so far in beer rebates. I have a hard time on a few of them because I don't spend $50 out of pocket to qualify. I save so much with coupons and winetags. Wine tags now there is another gold mine. I figure by the end of the year I will have saved another $300 to $400 in Wine Tag and Wine rebates. Gotta love a NBPN or NWPN State.

I know this is an old thread, but I wondered if anyone was willing to list the names of the grocery stores/chain gas stations where they find rebates. I am knew to them and I'm trying to earn Christmas money where I can. Thanks.
