Tons of Free Magazines at AdPerk

by 4 Comments


Have you heard about AdPerk? They have a great system for earning free subscriptions to magazines. You simply select the magazine that you are interested in, watch a few advertising videos, and you earn credits toward a subscription. You do have to watch the video through to the end, because you need to enter a code to receive credit for it, but it only takes around 15-20 minutes to earn some great free subscriptions.

Right now they have available: Ode, Popular Science, Good Housekeeping (one of my favs because of the coupon insert), Skiing, and Field & Stream. Also, if you’re in the Los Angeles area they’re currently offering a free pass to the Dwell on Design exhibition. I’m totally jealous, because I’d love to go to this.

I recommend adding this site to your favorites and checking back frequently, because they have a ton of subscriptions that will be available soon, including Alternative Medicine, Cosmopolitan, CosmoGirl, Country Living, Dwell, Esquire, Golf, Marie Claire, and Smart Money!

It’s too long to post in its entirety here, but I’ll post a quick reference list of the links in it.

$1.50 off Select Senseo Pods + Possible FREE Senseo Machine

by 28 Comments

The free (with $15 shipping) Senseo machine offer has made its rounds many times. If you haven’t registered to try and take advantage of it, I highly recommend giving it a shot. I was lucky enough to get one about two years ago, and I’ve got to tell you – I seriously heart my Senseo! I’d go out and buy a new one in a heartbeat if it ever broke down.

If you already have a Senseo, there’s a printable $1.50/1 Select Senseo pods coupon available now. It’s valid on any European-style blend or the Origin blends (Brazil, Sumatra, Kenya, and Colombia). I usually buy the Dark Roast, but I’m dying to try the new Cafe Noir! My good friend Shaina highly recommends the Sumatra blend.

Thanks to My Good Cents for sharing this awesome site for keeping track of mail-in rebates (MIRs).

Simply register at Rebate-Tracker.com, and then every time you have a MIR to submit, you just take a few moments to enter in all of the relevant details. The web site will organize your submissions, keep track and report on the money you are owed, and will even send you reminders when your rebates are due. It gives you a great summary of your savings and even a success ratio that shows how many rebates you have successfully redeemed.

I can’t wait to try this out next time I have a rebate to submit!

All About CVS ExtraCare Bucks (ECBs)

by 50 Comments


Let’s talk about the ExtraCare Bucks themselves for a moment. ECBs should be treated like cash with one caveat. You must use them before they expire, which is four weeks from the time they are generated. If you lose them or let them expire, you’re basically out of luck. It’s very rare for CVS to replace them or issue new ones. Trust me – I learned this the hard way.

ECBs can be used on just about anything in the store, not just CVS brand items. Items that you cannot purchase with ECBs are prescriptions, alcohol, tobacco, lottery tickets, stamps, gift cards, money orders, and prepaid debit cards, including prepaid phone cards.

When you purchase an item or items that generate ECBs, they will print when you complete all of the parameters of the deal. For example, if you have to purchase $20 worth of a product to earn ECBs, you can break your purchase up in any manner that you’d like. When you break the $20 threshold, your ECBs will print with your receipt for that transaction.

They will print in various amounts by offer. This is definitely something to keep in mind when grouping transactions, because if you purchase several of one item that generates ECBs, you may end up with a very large ECB that will be harder to roll over. Since you can use more than one ECB per purchase, you can more easily group them to pay for smaller transactions.

This brings me to another very important point to keep in mind. You will not receive change from ECBs. If you use a $5 ECB to purchase a $3 item, you will forfeit the rest. In fact, some stores won’t even allow you to use them if you are more than a few cents below the value of the ECB. You can avoid this by adding “filler items” to your transaction, i.e., sample-size items, clearance items, candy bars, gum, or alternatively, you can use the balance towards something you really need, i.e., milk, diapers, cereal, etc. This is what makes the ExtraCare Program so valuable for those of us trying to stretch our budgets.
