Hi Carrie,
I just signed up for Restaurant.com, got 2 $10 GF for only $1.40!! And also ordered the Entertainment Book. I got $10 off right away for the Entertainment book, do they send you the $10 rebate in the mail? Have you been receiving your incentives from cashbaq.com?
Maybe I should have asked you before I signed up....oh well, thanks for the heads up on the awesome deals!
I've been trying for days but I can't get the $25 free blockbuster deal to work for me. I did the last one you posted and now it won't let me do it again. I also tried a different email address but that sidn't work either. Any suggestions? Send responce to marypt23@aol.com Thanks :)
Fuzzy math, how can you claim a $10 saving for the Kroger card, when you spent $10.71 on the subscription. I'm not sure what qualifies as a 'saving" in your mind.
Not fuzzy at all.
It is definitely a $10 savings.
It is just like getting my favorite $10 off $10 coupons for stores. I go in a store and buy a $10.99 product and spend 99 cents for it. Thus, my savings is $10.
With the newspaper, I got my newspaper subscription for $10.71 and got a $10 Kroger card ( as good as cash for me, since I shop there every week ). Thus, I paid 71 cents for my newspaper subscription which would have otherwise cost me $10.71. Thus...$10 savings ( plus all the extra coupons...woo, hoo! )
When calculating savings, it is always important to look at the value of something BUT also if it is something that you need or use anyway. Just like with my sale shopping, I always have my list with me so I know who I need to buy for during the year, the value we like to spend on them and I can then mark it off. Otherwise, you hit a good sale...and you will buy stuff you don't need. If I don't need it for someone on my list...no matter how good the sale...I don't buy it.
The same held true with the paper. This is an expense I have weekly, because I get the Sunday paper for coupons. So, to get the paper basically free for that time period is well worth it, since I would have been spending that money anyway on my original subscription.
Hope the explanation on how I track savings helps a bit.
