Costco: food, gas, rental cars – Groupon

This Costco deal on Groupon continues.  I’m amazed there are people who still don’t have a membership – well out here, anyway! Get all your household shopping done (buy a car!) and enjoy lots of samples.  Groupon deal costs the same as buying directly from Costco, but you get the $20 or $40 gift card.  The $130 Executive membership is also available and that one snags not only the gift card, but you also earn 2% back on purchases, a nice benefit (This is the card we have and sigh, use heavily).  Your $65 yearly Gold Star Membership Package includes:

    • A membership card for the Primary Cardholder and one additional Household Card for anyone living at the same address, over the age of 16
    • A $40 Digital Costco Shop Card (valid at Costco locations and Costco.com)A One-Year Costco Gold Star Membership

Costco is good for more than toilet paper and eggs; gas is always cheaper so fill up before or after you shop. Pita and I are driving to SIU over COD’s Spring Break for a personalized campus visit (she starts this Fall).   We went to Avis, where a basic economy Toyota was almost $600 for the week or almost twice what FirstBorn had paid a few months ago. They suggested checking Costco online because of their travel discounts; I did and saved almost $250 (chose Budget, but Enterprise & Avis were also listed). Membership entitles you to add another driver for free instead of paying their usual extra charge. I would NEVER have thought about this, so that one tip would have paid for a yearly membership at either level!

Free 8×10 at Walgreens starts today

Get a FREE 8×10 print at Walgreens with promo code COOLFREE and in-store pick up.  No info on expiration date, but it just started today, so at least a day or two. You’ll have plenty of time to pick up after ordering (they send lots of email reminders).  Always choose highest possible resolution. Most photo deals don’t work with the APP, although YMMV.

Apologies in advance for this horrible shot of Pita, but we were celebrating her birthday last weekend and it was so loud I got hoarse yelling what and repeating everything I said because it was deafening; thought I’d have some quiet time to study while she and her father played arcade games and watched screens.  More fool me.  Her sandwich was the biggest pocket thing I’d ever seen – probably a foot in length.

2 Saturday Samplers at Jewel

TWO Saturday Samplers this week, a 12 oz can of Simply pop and a 20 oz bottle of propel water beverage.  Add by Sunday and redeem by Monday.  Click on the U™ account link.  Both items have several varieties shown, although not all Jewels will carry everything.  That and the $1 Nathan’s hotdogs make it worth a stop since I’m driving right past there 🙂

4 Free Bookmarks at Walgreens

You can get a set of four for Free with promo code MARKED and in-store pickup.   Tons of templates to choose from, so I’ve just linked to the photo page – type in bookmarks!  Total will be $1.99 before code and zero after. Don’t use their APP ’cause it’s wonky.  Although I don’t see an end date, it just started today, so should be good for a couple of days at least.  You’ll always have plenty of days to pick up – lots of reminder emails. … maybe they’ll have a deal by then 🙂

2,300 pts on Amazon clearance w/ Fetch

Ibotta is great, but often the rebate won’t include Jewel or Dollar Tree and that’s where Fetch Rewards comes into play, ’cause they don’t care where you shop (even online)! Scan the receipt and if there’s an item that’s part of a bonus rebate, you get it automatically in addition to the usual points – a minimum of 25 points for every scan.  Current promotion is you’ll earn 2,000 points ($2) just for signing up with promo code WVAB6.  I will earn points after your first purchase, but nothing thereafter.  Buy gift cards for Amazon, Panera, Target, Visa and more (I’ve don’t this for years). Once you start earning points you’ll see FREE items and bonus deals pop up on your Discover page. I’ve been earning tons of bonus points just for shopping at Jewel … okay, it’s FirstBorn buying all the crap :). I will say this is pretty much the only APP I use now since I don’t have to scroll the receipt to match up deals.  Ain’t nobody got time for that.  They also have games you can play that also earn points, but I’ve never tried ’em, so can’t opine.

Stopped at Amazon Fresh just so DH could return something Amazon-related, so Pita and I naturally checked the eggs and clearance – score on the latter!  I got 10 cans of hearts of palm for 79¢ each (I left a couple, but they had glass jars as well) plus a loaf of this fancy bread they don’t normally have.  Weirdly, the receipt showed the palm hearts correctly, but Fetch read it as whole kernel golden corn.

A nice feature is being able to use both Ibotta and Fetch on the same receipt.
