If you are an honest couponer please scroll down and find the tear pads and coupon books.

This is another version of Around the Town with Frugal Fairhope comes with some sadness that we have to play “mommy” and even mention this but this is important. Some of you maybe even happy we are posting this (we would love to hear from you).

We are getting even more reports of local people becoming criminals, stealing papers out of machines, stealing coupons out of delivered and store papers, switching sales tags, and not being honest with the use of coupons by coping coupons, using expired coupons, and not using a coupon as it was intended (specifically for size requirement).  In this post we are telling you where to find rebates and coupons. While Frugal Fairhope is not a resource for dishonest couponers we thought we would try a little incentive for those “bad apples” to be good again. If we (and our Frugal Fairhope “team” including cashiers) go back to these stores and we find that the rebate/coupon tear pads are completely gone (there are plenty to go around) and we find that some locals are selling them on Ebay we will not post this type of thing again. So “Bad Apples” think before you rip the entire tear pad off the display you will be loosing your resource for more of these in the future. So think of Mamo and be nice; take what you need but leave some for me.

What you do today affects all of us tomorrow

We found the following tear pads and coupon books at the Fairhope Winn-Dixie store.

This second Nabisco/Guy coupon book includes the following coupons

• $1/2 Nabisco Cracker Products (6.5-18.5oz)
• $1/2 Ritz Cracker Products (6-16oz)

This is a $4 mail in rebate WYB 2 Rold Gold Pretzels.  There is no adult beverage requirement in the state of Alabama. This rebate is not good for Florida and other states.

Here are some tips for rebates:

• Read Read Read. Pull out your magnifying glass and READ the rebate form. If the instructions are not clear you can call the manufacture by searching for the company name on Swagbucks (good opportunity to get some Swagbucks ) and ask for more details. Sometimes a 800 number is listed on the rebate form.
• Tracking. If we are not familiar with the company we will document the date, make a copy of the rebate, receipt and any additional information the rebate requires. You might want to track the rebate form on a spreadsheet. To save on paper and ink we scan these to our desktop.
• OnLine Tracking. Sometimes the company offering the rebate will participate in online tracking programs. Check out the CMS Rebate Tracking Center to view your rebate status. You can find the website for tracking your rebate on the rebate form.
• Neatness Counts. Make sure your name and address are clearly written on the rebate form. If your handwriting is difficult to read, it will be difficult to process your rebate form.
• Keeping Receipts & UPCs. You should think about keeping your receipts for future rebates. We keep ours in a wipes tub for the year and toss everything except for December receipts at the end of the year. We do not keep UPCs. We have found that most rebates (except Kelloggs) do not require the physical UPC. If we need the code we just go back to the store to get the code from the package on the shelf.

As you know we are always on the look out for “Try Me Free” peelies and rebate tear pads in the grocery store. This is a great way to try products for free.

Did you know that you can even use a coupon for these free items? It is OK, don’t worry, you are getting your cost of postage back plus some. But, be careful when you use CVS ECBs and rebate forms. CVS ECBs can show up as a coupon and making your total purchase less than the amount for the rebate item.

Here are a few helpful hints to tracking and keeping up with rebates.

Number One and the most important of all tips.
Apply for the rebate immediately after you get home. Even if you haven’t opened the box. You can cut the UPC code from the box without opening it. Have you ever heard the saying “if I don’t do it now, I won’t do it”, well Mamo use to say this all the time. It is so true for us, if we don’t file that rebate immediately when we get home we won’t do it. It will end up in a drawer or purse and it will not see the light of day until it is too late. We know that this is hard, you just got home from the store, kids are hungry, the phone is ringing… Do yourself a favor and place it where you will see it again after things settle down. Tape it to the TV or computer screen, put it next to your keys, place it with your bills, or what we do (we keep a clean desk) we put it on our desk out in the open so we have to deal with it. If it goes in the desk drawer we will never see it again.

Number Two
Make sure you only buy one item per receipt that has a mail in rebate. Most if not all rebate offers require the original receipt. Some stores can print two receipts if you ask. Be careful with this, sometimes the top of the receipt may indicate that it is a duplicate and will not be accepted as an original receipt according to the rebate form.

Number Three
Take a minute in the store and read the rebate. Make sure you understand the small print and that you have met the purchase requirements and the rebate period has not expired.

Number Four
Place the receipt, rebate form, and UPCs in an envelope immediately when you get home. Those UPCs are small and can get lost. Receipts to us are like the socks in the dryer, they just disappear to never be seen again. We immediately address the envelope (sometimes just the first line of the address) and place the rebate form, UPCs, and receipt in the envelope and place it on the desk for later.  Sometimes we complete the envelope before we shop for the products.

Make a copy of the rebate form and receipt. Create a rebate file or keep track of your rebates on a spreadsheet. We have never had a problem with getting rebates back but you never know. You can create a spreadsheet with the name of the company, contact information, when the rebate was mailed, and the link to the offer.

A rebate is money back, normally by mail, when you purchase a particular product or products. It is very important to read the rebate forms carefully and follow the instructions exactly.

A Satisfaction Guarantee is not a rebate. Most if not all products give you a satisfaction guarantee which is very different than a rebate. A satisfaction guarantee gives you your money back if you are not satisfied with the product. A rebate is a reward (usually a check to take to the bank) for purchasing the product.

Look for a Try Me Free peelie on products, this would be a rebate for trying the product.

Rebate forms are photographed and posted on Frugal Fairhope when we find one in the store. Rebate forms are posted on Frugal Fairhope when we find a link to an online rebate form. The rebates we find online are also posted on the Fixed Pages on the right sidebar of Frugal Fairhope. This will give you the opportunity to find all the current rebates in one spot without having to go through pages and pages of Frugal Fairhope posts.

We will change the date when the Fixed Page has been updated with a new rebate.

Here are some tips for rebates:

• Read Read Read. Pull out your magnifying glass and READ the rebate form. If the instructions are not clear you can call the manufacture by searching for the company name on Swagbucks (good opportunity to get some Swagbucks ) and ask for more details. Sometimes a 800 number is listed on the rebate form.
• Tracking. If we are not familiar with the company we will document the date, make a copy of the rebate, receipt and any additional information the rebate requires. You might want to track the rebate form on a spreadsheet.
• OnLine Tracking. Sometimes the company offering the rebate will participate in online tracking programs. Check out the CMS Rebate Tracking Center to view your rebate status. You can find the website for tracking your rebate on the rebate form.
• Neatness Counts. Make sure your name and address are clearly written on the rebate form. If your handwriting is difficult to read, it will be difficult to process your rebate form.
• Keeping Receipts & UPCs. You should think about keeping your receipts for future rebates. We keep ours in a wipes tub for the year and toss everything except for December receipts at the end of the year. We do not keep UPCs. Do you remember your grandmother with a closet of shoe boxes of UPC codes?

Rebates are the last step of our Ultimate Shopping Trip. Some of you may remember our talks from the Free Frugal Fairhope Coupon Workshops or from this post http://www.frugalfairhope.com/the-ideal-shopping-trip where we showed you a great example of how to stack all of these in one Publix trip.
