More money to add to my running “Frugal Funds” total. We got our UPromise earnings checks yesterday, which represent all of the earnings we have had in the program to date. I had $62.96 in earnings and my wife had $10.93. Less the two stamps to send in the withdrawal requests, we earned $73.07 for [...]
I love CVS deals, and here are two more where you can actually make money. As always YMMV, but here are the details: 1. Purchase the Breeze2 blood glucose monitor, receive $9.99 in ECB (limit 5, good for all of Jan 2008). The monitor is on sale for $9.99 all month, and if you can [...]
Inspired by this site chronicling and totaling the amount of money found on the ground, I am starting a tally of my own. Starting at this point, I am keeping a running total of what I will call “Frugal Funds”. I include in FFs money that I get mainly because I am cheap. Included in [...]
I posted previously about the Buy.com and Connect3D rebate fiasco. The short version is that Buy.com heavily advertises multiple memory cards for free after rebate in emails and on their website, the manufacturer disappears without paying out the rebate claims, and then Buy.com refunds a few customers who complained early about the situation and then [...]
Here is a warning to the world to beware of rebates offered or advertised by Buy.com. Earlier this year, I jumped on three deals for free after rebate memory cards and thumb drives marketed under the brand name Connect3D and advertised on Buy.com.

Early last week I posted about an overdue rebate I was waiting on from KWorld Computer. I emailed them on Monday and wouldn’t you know they printed a check the same day and I got it in the mail on Saturday. From some of the postings on SD and FW it seems like their normal [...]
Since I have a little bit of downtime this week, I am following up on several rebates that are overdue. The first on the hit list is a $20 rebate from KWorld computer for video input card purchased from buy.com. This is one of those I should have never jumped on, as many people on [...]
If you know me or have read some of the prior postings on this blog, you will know I do a lot of rebates. Simply put, the types of deals you can get with rebates are just impossible to find without them (when was the last time a retailer let you have anything of value [...]
About a week ago I did a silly posting on our geographically challenged friends at the Ultra Rebate Center. I received a rebate check at my address in Houston, Texas, USA that was made out in Canadian dollars and clearly denoted in the last line of the address “CANADA”. Well, I’m happy to report that [...]
I thought this was kind of amusing. Looks like maple syrup may be the new “in” condiment in the Lone Star State Province, according to the folks at the folks at the Ultra Rebate Center who have designated Texas as being a part of Canada, the land of poutine and ketchup-flavored potato chips. The folks [...]
