This week's grocery haul: I got paid $5 to take $84 worth of Hot Chocolate, Yogurt, Brownie mix, Dog treats, and More!

October 20, 2024

Here are the goodies.

Total: $84.15

Coupons: None!

Total Cash Back: $89.66

Final Cost: -$5.51 - 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 offer in the extra column - $10 back when you spend $25.

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! Don't need cat food, give it to a shelter!

 

Some Additional Deals

 

 

Afterthoughts

Today's haul was a bit bigger than normal since I wanted to finish my bigger bonus. I planned to split it up, but I didn't get a midweek bonus this week and it expired today. I thought I was supposed to get another bonus after the Pumpkin bonus, but I don't have it yet. Maybe that takes a little while, I'm not sure.

 

Today at Wal-Mart, I put a penny in and then used my Wal-Mart Pay account as per usual, but it asked if I wanted a print or digital receipt. Obviously, I got the print receipt. Interestingly though, it didn't auto add to my Wal-Mart account like normal. I had to upload my receipts to my Wal-Mart account.

 

 

Time Spent

I generally plan my hauls over the course of an hour or two while I eat breakfast/lunch and play with my pets.

I usually spend around 45-70 minutes in the store, which includes my regular grocery shopping. I could easily cut that down to 30-45, but I like to take my time.

 

 

Food From Deals

The other week I made some taco meat. Deal items included taco seasoning and ham (I substituted half for the beef, couldn't taste the difference). I served it with pasta instead of the tortilla shells. Not as tasty, but I have way too much pasta that needs to get eaten. Although, there are some decent stacking deals on hard shells between Ibotta + Fetch right now.

I also made a lasagna. Cottage cheese, ham (subbed half the meat), noodles, pasta sauce, and most the seasonings were deal items. Beef wasn't, and the "cheese" wasn't. I used bettergoods plant-based "cheese". It's pretty decent. I wouldn't use it on a pizza, but in lasagna? I can barely taste the difference, and my stomach is much happier.

 

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.
