Mail In Rebates and Cleaning Supplies Stockpile



MAIL IN REBATES






Today I got a cheque in the mail for $17.24 from purchasing Finish Power Ball Tabs at the end of November. I paid for them using a Sobeys Gift card that I purchased for the bonus air miles when they had their promotion buy $200 in gift cards earn 95 air miles. It gets better...then I earned air miles on this purchase, and now have a cheque for cash! My stockpile also grew through this. You can do it too, read along.
Mail In Rebates are a great way to build up your stock pile. I have not paid for Finish dishwasher tabs or the Jet Dry and cleaning agents in years.  These are the most popular Mail In Rebate Offers.   You can do it too, it just takes some patience.
Most of the time I find the Mail in Rebates in inserts within the local newspaper and at times inside the flyers.  I ask people to save me their inserts, and my father gathers them from his friends. It is important to remember that you can only receive one Mail In Rebate per address.  I use my address, my father's address, and my in-law's address.
Mail In Rebates require you to send in the original cash register receipt. You need to circle the item on your cash register receipt, and write at the top the numbers as they appear on the UPC (THIS IS THE BARCODE).
I purchase my items for Mail In Rebates at stores where I can get the most points.  On days when Shoppers Drug Mart has 20x the points day when you spend $50 I try to use a Mail In Rebate to help get to that total.   Remember if you are at Shoppers Drug Mart and paying, purchase a Shoppers Drug Mart gift card in a separate transaction to receive your Optimum points.
My other favorite store to purchase Mail In Rebate Offers is Sobeys, so I can collect Air miles on the total price. At Sobeys pay with your gift card that you have from buying them during their promotions. Then you get your cash back when your cheque arrives.  I buy my stamps at Costco. They are the cheapest place to purchase them. A cheque is mailed out to you within 4-6 weeks.
For the price of a stamp, Mail In Rebates help build up your stockpile and loyalty points.  Items that I will not use I still do the Mail In Rebate to donate them.  Some examples are I used some of the items to give to a local refugee family, and my daughters' Girl Guides Penny Auction.  Random times I fill up a bag of things that I have gotten for free that I don't use and when people visit I tell my friends to take a few things.
I used coupons for the soft soap 4 years ago, $1 off each bottle. I waited until they were on sale and asked the manager of the store to order me in some cases. I had gathered up coupons for the soap for a month, they had a long expiration date, and I am still using them. They only cost the tax.  If I have A LOT of coupons, more then a dozen for a product, I ask store managers, or stock people if they have them in boxes. This was they don't need to continue to restock. Try to be a respectful couponer.
