We have added a new rebate to the Rebate page on the right side bar.

This rebate is from SC Johnson and may include products that you have already purchased. This rebate ends 7/31/10 so you have plenty of time to gather your receipts.

You can do this rebate three times for up to $15 back.  Here is the link to the printable form.

Get a $5 rebate if you purchase any of the following items:

• Drano
• Fantastik
• Glade
• Nature’s Source
• Off
• Pledge
• Raid
• Saran
• Scrubbing Bubbles
• Shout
• Windex
• Ziploc

Check out the Rebate page for other rebates.

As you know we are always on the look out for “Try Me Free” peelies
and tear cards 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 it 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 have a clean desk) we place 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.

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.

Make a copy of the rebate form and receipt. Create a rebate file or
keep track of your rebates on a spreadsheet. We have not had a problem
with getting rebates back but you never know. We also like keeping
track of the rebates I receive. For the spreadsheet, we place the name
of the company, when it was mailed, and the link to the offer.
