$8 Money Making Scenario

Ready for an easy money making scenario? Try

this out! Buy 2 Olay Regernist products then submit for this $15 rebate.

Yesterday, at Smith's, I found Olay Regenerist Facial Cleanser on sale for $6.49. I bought two of them and used (2)$3/1 coupons from P&G 1/17.

After I mail in my reciept and rebate from I will have actually made money on those facial cleansers! Here is how it breaks down:

1. Buy 2 Olay Regernsits for $6.49
2. Use (2) $3/1 coupons from P&G 1/17
3. You will spend $6.98 before tax
4. Send in for your $15 rebate
5. Money maker of around $8 depending on the amount of your tax

Pretty sweet deal! Just be aware the last day you can buy products for this rebate is TODAY 1/24! We are sorry we are just barley getting the news about this one out, but if you read our last post you'll see we are just getting back into the swing of things.

Rebates

Do you have to use rebates to get 50-70% off your grocery bills? Absolutely not. Rebates are just another way of maximizing those coupons and taking your savings to 80-90%. I myself don't participate in rebates a ton, but if you are willing to do rebates there are many free things and even money makers to be had. Here are a couple tips I have found that have helped me keep my rebate savings organized.

• Follow the rebate instructions exactly!
• If you are going to buy it later, but there is a rebate for it now- BUY IT. I am still kicking myself for not going to Staples last week and getting my FREE backpack after the rebate. I could have used a backpack for my 72-hr kits, to keep emergency things in my car, or even to give away as a gift!
• Rebates are before coupons! So, if there is a rebate at the grocery store and you have coupons for the items participating in the rebate- PARTICIPATE. The Fuel for School rebate is a great example of making money on a rebate!
• Request a duplicate receipt. Almost every rebate I have ever sent in requires that I submit the original sales receipt. I hate sending my receipt away, just to never see it again, so at the register I request a duplicate receipt. I send the original away and keep the duplicate for my records.
• As soon as you get the receipt for the rebate, mail it out! If I don't mail my rebate out with in a couple days of buying the item I end up forgetting about the rebate and when I do remember I find myself searching for the receipt in my purses, cars and file folders. As soon as you get home, sit down, fill out the rebate and mail it off. Yesterday I sat down and mailed out the rebates that I have participated in recently. It is the best feeling to get those babies in the mail. So, take this as a friendly reminder, if you have any pending rebates, submit them TODAY!
