This week's grocery haul: I got paid $4 to take $43 worth of Beggin' Strips, Werthers, Colgate, and More! (There's some good cat food deals this week too)
Here are the goodies.
Sort of small haul today not including the pet food. I left them out of the calculations since people tend to complain about it when it makes the haul look too bad (this is r/beermoney after all, and I try to tailor the posts towards profitable deals). You can see the breakdown of the pet food further in the album. There are plenty of other deals to get instead if you don't need pet food. I was originally considering some Snapple drinks, yogurt, and a couple other things I got before.
Total: $43.34
Coupons: None!
Total Cash Back: $48.04
Final Cost: -$4.70 - Money Maker
Here is the complete break down and sites used. The stores are listed in the breakdown image. I don't include sites that take any receipt such as Coinout, ReceiptPal, etc on my breakdown.
Note: Individual deals vary by user for most apps. If you don't have the deals right now, you can try checking back later.
My Guides
If you aren't interested in this kind of thing, please keep your comments to yourself. If you don't like what I buy, you can buy different products. If you don't like hunting for deals, you can do surveys, microtasks, games or whatever else you like instead. There is no need to discourage other users just because you aren't interested in the same things!

Afterthoughts
Today's haul was a bit frustrating. I struggled to find enough deals, but I had to go to the store because I needed to get something I absolutely needed tonight, and I was bound determined to make a haul one way or another. This is always a bad mindset. I had a handful of different things picked out, but my store was out of so many things. I ended up swapping around nearly half my haul, and got more cat food deals than initially intended. This lead me to overspending on the Fancy Feast cans since I thought there was a Shopmium rebate (it's for Friskies). Given the nature of this subreddit, I decided to separate the cat food out from the rest of the deals, and I did not count them towards the bonus, despite knowing they made a lot of progress towards that bonus. I'm sure some people will grumble, but they were all things I would probably have bought in the next couple weeks anyways, just probably not all at one time since I don't really have the space, haha. You can find the image and break down on images 3 and 4 in the album at the top of the post.
I'm seeing a lot of ice cream rebates this week (IB, SK, SB, Fetch, C51). It's that time of year again, so hopefully we'll see a bunch of money makers here soon. The Haagen-Daz Butter Cookie Cones look like they could be a money maker, but my store doesn't sell them so I'm not too sure what the price is.
I went with the Beggin Strips, but you could potentially get an even better deal on the Prime Bones/Bites or the DentaLife by adding in Shopkick if you have the smaller packages at your store.
I am going to have to contact support, unfortunately, because the Friskies dry cat food offer apparently didn't load to my account. This is the second week in a row that I had issues with adding an offer. I clicked it before I left, I clicked again in the store, and it was unclicked once I got home. I might unlink my account again so I can make sure everything attaches. Their app's been really buggy for me lately in more ways than just that.
It feels like it's been forever since I had a BC survey. I always sync, but I'm mostly out of them now on the things I buy.
My store previously had B2G1 coupons for the beggin products on an endcap. I wasn't sure I'd use it, but now I wish I had grabbed one while I had the chance. I could have grabbed a 4th bag and got it for free if someone didn't take all of the coupons (there was way more than what my store stocks and it's only been a couple days). I also noticed the price of the mac n cheese went up from $1. I also got a free Chex Party Mix Seasoning packet. There was a couple boxes over on one of the center aisles displays with the seasonal cheerios and the chex. The package says "Free Take One" on it, so I did. I wonder if it'd be good on popcorn.
Time Spent
The trip earlier this week was basically no time spent. I just glanced over the freebies list and added them to my pickup order with the other things I had to grab.
As for today's haul - I'm not too sure how long I spent planning. I did it on and off in the middle of the night and afternoon while my body gave me hell about having too much dairy the past few days. I was in the store about 45 minutes which included my regular shopping. I was moving pretty quick, and probably would have been done in <30 if not for having to rethink some deals and trying to figure out which Fancy Feast were not Pate.
Food From Deals
I made some Lemon Ginger Pork with Blistered Peppers
Do you guys want me to continue showing things I've made using ingredients I got from rebate apps on these posts? Let me know in the comments, or you can vote on this poll if you want to remain anonymous.
