Sunday Splurges

One great way to spend less on things you want is a rebate. There are different kinds of rebates- instant ones at the time of purchase that take money off your total, some sort of return on your next purchase at the register that give you a coupon off your next purchase, and mail in rebates. Some things to remember are the dates that the rebates are due and what is required (UPC codes, receipts, etc.) to cash in on the rebate.

Here are a few deals to get you started:

FREE Emprex 2GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive after mail-in rebate.
Click the link, purchase the USB Drive for $12, and follow the instructions on this webpage.

Rite Aid monthly rebates.
Check out this page for the Rite Aid monthly rebates. You can enter your receipts online and they send a check at the end of each month. You do not have to save UPC codes or labels.

Walgreens monthly rebates.
Ditto for Walgreens, but you have the option of selecting a gift card that gets reloaded each month with your rebate. If you choose the gift card, 10% is added. No UPC codes or labels are required.

CVS instant rebates are listed in the weekly ads.
CVS rebates come to you in the form of ExtraCareBucks on your receipt at the time of purchase, that you can spend on anything in the store. These expire about a month after the issue date, so be careful. The exceptions to spending these are- prescription drugs, smokes, and booze.... DRATS!

So- have a look at the ads in today's newspaper and check them out. I'll post more specific rebate deals as I find them.
