Cheap Entertainment Books - Still

In the mail yesterday I received my rebate check from Cashbaq for purchasing an Entertainment book. I love it when I get checks in the mail.

Cashbaq is still running the $10 cash back offer on their Entertainment books, plus the books are 35% off. That makes the Baltimore book (and several others) $19.50. So after rebate you could have the book for $9.50. If you sign up for a new Cashbaq account you get a $5.00 sign up bonus which makes your net cost for the Entertainment book $4.50. Not a bad deal if it has coupons you will use. You can check out a preview of the coupons in your local book online before you buy. So make sure that it will be worth it to you. And remember that you have to go through the link on the Cashbaq site to order your Entertainment book or you won't get the $10.00.

Caregivers Marketplace

Just a reminder that you have to submit your 2008 receipts to Caregivers Marketplace by January 31st. I got mine off in the mail today. They are also offering their program again for 2009. I use this program mainly for the rebates on Huggies diapers, but they also offer rebates on other common caregiving related items like vitamins, cortizone and so forth. If you have a few minutes it's worth heading over and checking out their eligible items list. Every little bit that you can get back helps, so why not take advantage if products you buy are on there?

Cheap Entertainment Books

In the mail yesterday I received my 2009 Entertainment book. When my husband saw it sitting on the counter he questioned why I had purchased it. He thought I had paid the regular retail price of $30.00. You’d think by now he would know me better then that. I got the book for only $5.00 and there was free shipping. We will definitely get our money back on this purchase.

So, how can you get a 2009 Entertainment book super cheap too? First you need to sign up for a Cashbaq account. You get a $5.00 bonus just for signing up and you get $10.00 back for purchasing a 2009 Entertainment book. Plus, the Entertainment books are running $10.00 off their regular retail price right now. Regular retail prices are $25-$45 depending on the specific book you. The Baltimore book is $30.00 regular retail, so I paid $20.00 and got free shipping. Then I got back $15 from Cashbaq ($5.00 sign up bonus + $10.00 Entertainment rebate). That made my net cost for the Entertainment book $5.00. Just keep in mind that you do have to wait for your rebate check from Cashbaq.

The Cashbaq program is similar to Ebates. You do your shopping through the links on their site and get back a percentage of your purchase price. The percentages vary by retailer. Before I do any online shopping I check both Cashbaq and Ebates. Usually one of them gives a higher percentage then the other for a specific retailer. Or a retailer may be on one and not the other. It never hurts to check around.

Even if you don’t want to take advantage of the Entertainment deal, if you do any online shopping, it is worth setting up an account with Ebates and Cashbaq.

Rebate Peelies

When I was at the grocery stores this weekend I found two different peelie rebate forms you may want to be on the lookout for. The first is for Andes Baking Chips (buy 2 get 1 free by mail) and the second is on Sunkist Almonds (Buy 2 bags get $2 off your next purchase by mail). If these are items you need for holiday baking anyway, you might as well look out for the rebate forms. Both forms also had recipes on them so you may even want to grab them for the recipes.
Both of these were on free stnading displays of these items in the grocery stores I visited. I found the Sunkist Almonds form at Super Fresh and the Andes baking chips form at Weis.

Since my daughter and I have already had our first cold of the season, I am looking forward to stocking up on medicine. It’s so much better when you can get it for free. This way we shouldn’t have to run out while we’re sick. Now I just need to replenish my Kleenex supply.

Rebates!

Today I received my first rebate check in the mail. This one was a $5.00 rebate for purchasing three packages of Huggies at one time. If you're interested in that rebate, click here. You have to purchase them before June 15th though, so don't waste any time.

I had always considered rebates to not really be worth the time, but now I'm finding that they're a nice way to bring a little bit of your money back home. I'm surprised at how many rebates I'm finding out about on products that I need to purchase anyway. For example, with the Huggies rebate above I had already purchased the diapers when I found out about the rebate. So the $5 back was a nice bonus.

Here are some other rebates you might be interested in:
Orajel $1.50 Rebate
Fresh Sacks Rebate
HP Ink $10 Starbucks gift card rebate
BGE Energy Star Appliance Rebate for those of you in the Baltimore area
Rite Aid monthly single check rebates
Walgreens monthly rebates

You should also watch the coupon inserts of the Sunday paper, store shelves and product packaging for more rebates.

So what do you think of rebates? Are they worth the time it takes to send them in?

Lysol $5 Reward

Lysol is currently offering a $5 reward promotion if you purchase two products and take your child to the doctor for a check-up between 1/1/08 and 3/31/09. I was happy to stumble across this one because I just recently purchased some Lysol products and my daughter has had a few well baby checkups this year. Now I just need to get all the paperwork together and mail it off. Click here to get the details from the Lysol website.

HP Ink Rebate

I purchased ink for my printer last weekend. I wasn't happy about the price, but ink is always expensive. So I was extremely happy when I found this rebate for a $10 Starbucks gift card when you purchase two HP ink cartridges or one multi pack. I completed my form and mailed it off today. Hopefully I will get my gift card back soon. I'm looking forward to some free Starbucks!
