I sent off for over $65 in rebates!!

One great way to stretch your dollars is to take advantage of any rebates that are offered on products.

If you read my blog in November, when I was trying to keep my grocery expenditures for the month under $250, part of what helped me stretch was the $20 in rebates I got that month.

But $20 is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to rebates. I just put in the mail today over $50 in rebates. And I have another $15 ready to go out Monday.

Here's what I've sent off for:

SC Johnson rebate
Get $5 back by mail when you purchase ANY 3 SC Johnson Products, including:
• Ziploc®
• Glade®
• Windex®
• Scrubbing Bubbles®
• Pledge®
• Shout®
• Fantastik®
• Drano®
• Raid®
• Off®
• Saran™
• Nature’s Source™
You can do this rebate 3 times per household as long as they are postmarked by 7/15/10.
Keep your eyes peeled for these products that you can use coupons to maximize your rebate savings. I got a lot of the Glade holiday tins and scented oil candle refills for free or cheap with coupons before Christmas. I submitted 3 rebates and I'm getting $15 back for items I paid less than $9 for!

Olay Regenerist $15 rebate
You can receive $15 back for purchasing TWO Olay Regenerist products. These products are generally expensive. But that have a facial cleanser (that's really good, I might add!) that was on sale at Wal-Green's this past week for $5.83. But regular price, at Wal-Mart today (I think, maybe someone can double check for me) is in the $7 range. In the 12/27 P&G is a $1 coupon. Get 2 of the coupons and purchase two facial cleansers. Submit for the $15 rebate and actually MAKE money off of it! (I had two $3 coupons that expired 12/31. I paid $2.83 for each of them (5.66 for both) and will get $15 back!)

Olay Quench Body Lotion rebate
Olay is also offering a rebate to try TWO Quench body lotions for FREE. If you are going to submit for two you must do it on the same form (but you can only do one if you'd like). There is a coupon in the 12/27 P&G for $1 any Olay lotion. Get two coupons, purchase two lotions (I found them for $7.77 at Wal-Mart today) and submit for the rebates. Rebates are on BEFORE coupon prices so I paid $13.54 for two after my coupons but will get the full rebate of $15.54!! a $2 money maker!!

I also sent in for $5.25 back from Caregiver's Marketplace for my Huggies Diapers purchases last month. BUT it doesn't look like they are going to be doing rebates on Huggies in 2010. :( I've e-mailed them to see, so I will let you know what I found out. But if you buy Balmex diaper cream, GoldBond foot powder, Apsercreme, Kapectate, Depends or a handful of other items (mostly for the care of sick/elderly) you should check out The Caregiver's Marketplace. Their no-strings attached rebate program is great! I just started using them a few months ago to get 75c/pack back on Huggies. I've gotten $17 back from them! That's almost enough to pay for 3 packs of diapers!

Something else that I've never done before, and Kristin at Couponing to Disney is helping me, are "No Beer Purchase Required" rebates. I'm going to let her explain them here. But I sent off for $16 in rebates on those!


I'm working on a HUGE post about rebates with coupon match-ups to make some into money makers! Hopefully I can get that out to you guys over the next few days!
