Rebate Madness

October 2nd, 2006 at 04:20 pm

I have been REALLY into rebates lately, and have read with envy Flash's and Retire@50's Del Monte savings. I'm now biding my time to take advantage of the Quaker Oatmeal rebate:

RiteAid has a rebate this month, buy 4 participating PepsiCo products (including Quaker Oatmeal), get $4 back.

Quaker has a rebate, buy 5 products get $5 back.

I have 2 coupons for $1/2 Quaker Oatmeal.

So if I buy 5 boxes, I'll get $11 off/back ($4 from Riteaid, $5 from Quaker, and $2 from Coupons). (Note, that RiteAid rebate programs are online, so you can use the same register receipt for both).

I was at Riteaid yesterday, and was tempted to buy, except the oatmeal was $4/box(!). So I would have gotten the 5 boxes for $9. Not worth it. I've noticed though, when these stores do their rebate programs, they usually put the rebate items on sale throughout the month. So I'm going to keep my eyes open, and if the price drops to $3/box or less, I'll get them.

Good thing this forum is anonymous. I think most people I know (present company excluded) would think I'm nuts for getting so excited about ways to save a few bucks on oatmeal. Yeah...crazy like a fox!

    I wouldn't pay $4 a box for oatmeal either!

    Did you cash in on the Kotex rebate at Walgreens last month? This time I had a Buy2, Get 1 coupon, so I got three packages for $7 with a $10 card coming back to me!

    I have really started to watch the rebates too - haven't gotten on this month to check, but definitely will now. I have a Walgreens and Eckerds just down the road from my job, and I will travel to Rite Aid, Kinneys if the price is right!
