Recyclebank Points = Supermarket Savings!

Recyclebank logo

If you are not a member of Recyclebank, you are missing out on a valuable chance to learn about greener living while earning some nice coupons and rewards. In the past, Recyclebank offered a coupon good for $10.00 off a $50.00 purchase at Harris Teeter. Unfortunately, that coupon has now been restricted to those partipating in the Recyclebank curbside recycling service. However, you can still get a coupon for $5.00 off a $25.00 at Shoppers Food Warehouse, then use it at Harris Teeter as a competitor's coupon. Harris Teeter has historically held a Super Doubles event the first week in January, so I just ordered my SFW coupon from Recyclebank in preparation. The coupon arrives by snail mail, so you need a little lead time, and I didn't want to forget during the holidays. The coupon "costs" 50 points.

 Here are some easy ways to earn points at Recyclebank:

  1. That's great--I didn't know you could use competitor's coupons at HT. I remember reading how you used Walgreen's Register Rewards there but didn't know how you were doing that. Do they scan automatically or does the cashier have to push them through? I just ordered one from Recyclebank, so thanks. Too bad the limit is one per month.

  2. I don't think Walgreens RR are considered competitor's coupons. They are just catalinas that you can use to buy anything since they say Manufacturer's coupons on them - so they should scan automatically. I have never used a competitor's coupon at HT, so I am going to ask before handing it over.
