REBATES

One point to remember when considering whether to get involved with rebating is that Manufacturer's are looking for the "value" of the item on the receipt, not necessarily what you paid for it. When you are circling the prices of the items that you buy, you are circling what the price was BEFORE you used a coupon to get it at a lower price.

My first rebate check!
This morning I awoke not feeling very well...that is until I noticed that the mail had run early. I was so excited I just had to post this!
The wild part about this rebate check is...the products that I received the check for didn't cost me $3.00 to buy. SC Johnson has a rebate program which will allow you to receive $5.00 "when you buy" (wyb) three of their participating products.
I happened to find that Fantastik was on sale as a "buy one get one" BOGO at my local store.
Scenario:
$2.99 (normal price ea)
- $1.49 (BOGO)
- $0.50 (MFQ)
- $0.50 (Store Dbl policy)
$0.49 FINAL PRICE
I needed to buy three participating products. I buy three papers, which allowed me to buy three and save a bundle!
My total receipt after tax? $2.68 After rebate, I MADE $2.32
