My Best Buy Buys 3/30/12

Guess how much the hubbs paid for this out of his allowance...


Go ahead, guess!

Did you guess $1.90? (If you did, you're right!) We have a Best Buy Rewards Zone card where he had a $5 credit, then using his Shopkick app on his phone (see below for more details on Shopkick), he had earned another $15 credit to Best Buy. The game was $19.99, and to use all $20 credit, the total before tax had to be $20 or more, so he bought a Sprite to go with it.

With ShopKick, you earn points by "checking in" at various stores like Best Buy, Target, Old Navy, Macy's, American Eagle, Aeri, and others. ShopKick also offers you the chance to scan certain random items to earn more points (10 to 25, and even up to 100 points). When you get to 500 points you have earned a $2 gift card (though not all stores offer the $2 amount). You can get gift cards in various amounts ($2, $5, $10, $20, $25, $50, and even $100), and for the most part once you redeem points for a gift card, you are given a code or barcode to give to the cashier at checkout. You can get gift cards to stores like Best Buy, Target, Starbucks, iTunes, Macy's, Old Navy, Toys R Us/ Babies R Us, Lowe's, CVS, and more!

My Rainbow Buys 7/21/12

While I have been couponing this whole time, I haven't really been posting my transactions. My 11 month old keeps me pretty busy! But, since I'm teaching a couponing class this week, I thought I should at least post my latest buys, so that people can see that I'm still into it!



First Transaction:
Free: Meow Mix, Hydrogen Peroxide
Shelf cost: $25.86
Paid: $8.25
Savings rate: 68.1%


Second Transaction:
Shelf cost: $25.04
Paid: $6.12
Savings rate: 75.6%

Third Transaction:
Shelf cost: $25+ (This transaction has some issues. Rainbow admitted some of their pricing had been a little messed up lately... The lesson here is to always promptly check your receipts.)
Paid: $8.23
Savings rate: 67.1%

Fourth Transaction:

My Rainbow Buys 1/28/12


Those of you that know me, know I don't like coffee, so you might be wondering why I bother getting the coffee creamer, even though it's free. Well, I'll tell you! It goes great in hot chocolate! I wanted a peppermint hot cocoa once, and coffee creamer was 15 cents after coupons, so I bought a peppermint one and tried it in my hot cocoa. It was delicious! So since it was on sale again, I thought I'd try some different ones (plus the peppermint was gone :( ). I'm drinking white chocolate hot cocoa right now with a splash of the Cinnabon one, and I think I like it better than the peppermint! :)
