They're 90% off, rang up for $1.10/ea. Size 3 (20 ct), Size 4 (18 ct), Size 5-6 (17 ct)

$2.00/1 (limit 3) on Ibotta.

Each pack is a 90 cent MM, $2.70 MM if you max the deal

Preface, it's a dead deal. They were like $3.00/ea @ Kroger/affiliates and you get back $16.84 for every two (up to 4). I got my butt up when I saw it, since I didn't think it'd last long.

It was up on BeFrugal for a couple of hours on the morning of the 14th. Today is day 3, and my submission is still sitting in "manual review". IME BeFrugal always processes on the third day, but I don't use it heavily.

Wonder how this one will shake out. At the same time, there was a deal on some frozen chicken for the same number of points back, but the frozen chicken is a much more expensive item.

• Buy 1 @ $30.79 (note: price varies by store)
• Use $10/30 personal care CRT
• Use $5.00 Neutrogena MFR coupon
• Pay $15.79 OOP
• Get $10 ECB wys $25+ on Neutrogena products
• Submit to Activate Rewards for $10 back wys $30+

There's likely a lot more scenarios than this, since the Activate Rewards covers many Kenvue products, so you could work out similar-ish deals with other products that have coupons and give ECBs.

I have my $10 carepass so it's a $14.21 MM for me

If you're in the US, the vast majority of folks are doing 9-5. If you're going beyond that, it's because you're caving into the pressure. It's hard not to. It sounds like bad things will happen™ if you don't. Those are all just tactics. Bad things (like layoffs) do occasionally happen, but they're arbitrary and uncontrollable by the quantity of hours you work. Besides the occasional on-call incident, if you're regularly doing 50, 60+ hour work weeks, it is your own decision.

• Buy 1 @ $4.99/ea
• Clip $1.50 kroger cash back
• Submit to Ripple Street for $4.99 (got back $5.00)
• Submit to Ibotta for $0.10 😂

I was able to claim a spot on Ripple Street around 6:50 AM PT. Spots seem to drop daily around then.

Also -- The app says this offer can be done at Kroger or Walmart, but the app also shows Ralphs as a location where it's sold. My Ralphs receipt was approved. Ralphs is an affiliate of Kroger.

This is ones with the FIFA-looking packaging, not the toy story ones. I saw them on clearance for $2.97 each.

• Buy 5x$2.97 = $14.85 OOP
• Submit to Ibotta for $3.00/1 (x5)
• Get $5.00/5 (x1) Snackworks bonus

makes 5 a $5.15 mm

• $1.99x2 = $3.98
• $5.00/2 (x1) from Easy Bucks (sister app)
• $1.02 mm for 2

Note 1: The offer said 400 coins wyb 2, but when mine went into review it's showing 500 coins (YMMV). If you only get 400 coins, it's still free and 2 cent MM.

Note 2: The A&H freezer/refrigerator odor absorber product qualifies (good for keeping fridge clean scent).

Buy:

• Buy 3x stuffed Nachos @ $4.99/ea (on mega event)

Total back is $23.23 ($1=1100 points). Final net cost is $0.11 for all 6

I was recently gifted an air fryer, a modest 2 quart one. My basic thought is like, I think broccoli with a little oil spray on it could be solid, but I'd like to know how you guys effectively use one. My oven is slow and heats up the apartment. Thanks!

Maybe 2 quarts is too small to spread out a good portion of veggies? Any input appreciated.

Y'all, this chicken is nasty. It's often discolored or the fiber strands running through the meat are very visible. That is to say, when you go to purchase it, it looks unappetizing.

The only way I've found to practically use this meat and not be grossed out while eating it is to sous vide it. It basically erases all of the problems. 150F is a good starting point for anyone new to it. The immersion sticks are like $50-100 online.

I'm not crazy about my safeway affiliate, but the one thing they tend to beat everyone else on is cheap meat some weeks.

Anyone noticing engineers doing less work to fit their token budget? If an engineer blows through their budget at the start of the month, then they'd have to code manually, which requires effort. So they spread the PRs out over the month, basically only doing the amount of the work that can fit within the given token budget.

• $8.99 on sale
• Clip $2.00 digital
• Pay $6.99 OOP
• Social Nature gave me back $8.99 (ymmv)
• Merryfield is $3.00 back + $0.52 everyday points (75 points per dollar)
• Update: Aisle $2.00 back on first punchcard program

update: sprouts has $10/25 frozen coupon printing off of any purchase

Anyone else see colleagues barely phoning it in and everything being LLM generated? Not just the code, but meeting agendas, work tasks, communications (emails, messages, etc)?

Both my Ibotta and Fetch offers reset on these, though my Fetch one changed. In case Ibotta resets again, I recommend 2 transactions.

• T1: Buy 3 $3.00/ea = $9.00 OOP
• T2: Buy 3 $3.00/ea = $9.00 OOP

Get back:

• $3.49/1 (x3) on Ibotta
• $2.72/2 (x3) on Fetch (3,000 points wyb 2, limit 3)

Spend $18, get $18.65 back, so 65 cent MM. If Ibotta resets again, you could claim another $10.47 for a bigger MM.

It's kind a relief to know that the optionality is there. My industry has taken a turn for the worse and employees are getting the short end of the stick. Work is still stressful, but the optionality gives me piece of mind. And if I didn't have an already lean lifestyle, then I'd be that much further away. A balance sheet is a means to an end, it's not about the number itself or maximizing it alone.

• 1,000 points per dollar on Fetch
• $2 back on Ibotta

• 2x @$7.99/ea = $15.98 OOP
• -$7.99/2 on Ibotta
• -$7.99/2 on Aisle (number: 267 729 9794)
• $0.79 everyday points on Merryfield

makes two boxes $0.79 mm

Not sure how "end of the world" this will be for my account.

Price quoted is for Ralphs. The offer is good at a bunch of retailers-- check the list and your stores prices.

The offer can be redeemed once per calendar week (Sunday-Saturday). So you can do the offer today (6/13), and then it will come back tomorrow. There's the chance the offer won't come back for the same amount, but there's also the chance it will -- so this deal is a "YMMV" deal.

• Transaction 1: Buy 4x bacon @ 6.99/ea ($27.96) (by 6/13)
• Transaction 2: Buy 4x bacon @ 6.99/ea ($27.96) (between 6/14-6/20)
• Total OOP: $55.92
• T1: Submit to BeFrugal for $12.64/2 (x2) = $25.28 (submit by 6/13)
• T2: Submit to BeFrugal for $12.64/2 (x2) = $25.28 (submit between 6/14-6/20)
• Cash out 50,000 points for $55 back (extra 10%)

final cost is $0.92 for 8, or $0.11 per pack. If you use kroger fuel points at all, or pay with even a modest cash back credit card (or both), it's very very close to free.

If you can only do 1 transaction, you can cash out $26.50 (20k points for $21.50, and 5k points for $5) and it'd be $1.46 for 4, or 36 cents a pack. So it's low risk either way (but the math favors 2 transactions).
