This week's grocery haul: I got paid $21 (profit) to take $93 worth of Pasta, Dog Food, Toothpaste, Body Wash, Candy, and More!

June 26, 2024

Here are the goodies.

I wasn't able to meet my midweek bonus, but still ended up with more profit than normal!

Total: $93.22

Coupons: None!

Total Cash Back: $114.61

Final Cost: -$21.39 - Money Maker

 

The complete breakdown is in the imgur gallery above. The stores are listed in the breakdown image. I don't include sites that take any receipt on my breakdown. This is the Barilla offer in the "Extra" column.

Note: Individual deals vary by user for most apps. If you don't have the deals right now, you can try checking back later.

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!

 

If you don't need feminine hygiene products, toothpaste, soaps, etc - consider donating them to your local women's shelter, church, or school!

 

Some Additional Deals

 

 

Afterthoughts

As expected, I did run out on the weekend to do the bonus. I didn't plan to go twice, but it was so blasted hot and I wasn't doing anything else. (Plus, I had to grab some non-deal stuff). I planned to do a full haul today or perhaps tomorrow, but I'm just not seeing enough to make it into a money maker. If anything new pops up this weekend I'll probably make another post though.

 

Reminder: The Made to Save PG Rebate is finishing up here at the end of the month. Make sure to redeem if it you bought the items!

Since the start of May - I got five of the $3.97 Crest Toothpaste, four of the $4.97 Crest Toothpaste, one $8.97 Crest Gum Toothpaste, one $3.47 squeeze bottle Crest toothpaste, and a $6 Gillette razor. In total I spent $53.56 including tax. I got back $31.25 IB (not counting progress towards bonuses which I'd estimate it's worth to be $0.25-$0.50 per offer) + $2 Walmart Cash back + $15 from PG Good Everyday + $0.34 BC which brings my total down to $4.97. It hurts my soul a little to know I actually paid for toothpaste, but I don't get a bunch of free Crest from CVS anymore, haha. $2 for 11 containers of toothpaste isn't too bad though...

 

A little off topic - I got my free Zenni glasses in the mail this week, and I'm super pleased with them overall. They even came with this fancy looking dragon glasses case and cleaning cloth.

 

 

Time Spent

The trips on Friday and Sunday both only took 15-20 minutes to plan each, and about 30 minutes in the store each. I grabbed a few of my regular groceries at that time too. Today's trip was "planned" in about 15 minutes (most of that time spent reviewing the PG good rebate not featured in the top photo), and I was in the store for about half an hour which was primarily grabbing a handful of non-deal stuff. I did also run into Giant Eagle which added ~7 minutes (including a phone call) expecting to use my Social Nature coupon, but they didn't have it. It was just across the street from another store I had to go into though.

 

 

Food From Deals

Here's an idea: Mix up a white cheddar Mac a Roni, with your choice of ham, sausage, chicken, pork, or one of the vegan meat alternatives. Add a little soy sauce, and some green peas if you wish. You could even add some extra butter and milk (or plant based milk) to make it a bit creamier. Serve with a slice of buttered toast or some Jasmine Rice. Perhaps make a little Banana bread for dessert. (Note: Everything mentioned has Ibotta deals available.)

 

Here's some things I've made in the past: High Protein Tomato Crackers, Hot Sausage Cups, Peanut Butter Fudge & Chocolate Hazelnut Fudge, Chocolate Cherry Pie

 

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.

 

 

Mini FAQ

  • If you're new or confused - check out the guides near the top of the post. They go into detail about everything.

  • I'm from the USA and these posts are tailored as such, but this post of mine does list things from other countries that I know about.

  • My posts are tailored to being money makers to suit this subreddit. There are tons of great deals that aren't money makers but can still save you a lot of money.

  • A lot of what I get is given away to friends, family or is donated. I do this more as a hobby than anything.

  • I generally do not share my spreadsheet since the one shown in this post is not the one I actually use (it's put together with a script from my usual spreadsheet) and there are a ton of little things that will give you wrong values if you don't know about them and even then you have to be careful. It's super easy to make a spreadsheet with Google Sheets though.
