My April Trash-to-Cash Sales on Ebay

My first Ebay sale for April wasn't really trash, but I got it for nothing! 

Remember that Frozen DVD that I posted about HERE last month, that was a money maker after you got a rebate from TopBackCash? I listed mine on Ebay and sold it quickly for $18.00 with free shipping by Media mail.  

If you bought one and haven't gotten your rebate from TopCashBack yet, it is now available. If you select an Amazon gift card as your payout, there is a 5% bonus! 

My next sale for the month was this copy of How to Buy, Sell, and Profit on eBay that I bought to read on vacation last summer. It went for $8.99 with free Media mail shipping.

I also sold this copy of Lone Survivor that my husband bought at the airport (I HATE when he does that) to read on a long business flight. It went for $12.99 with free Media mail shipping. 

This lot of 9 Texas Trueblood Harlequin Romances that I found in the dumpster sold for $12.99 with free Media mail shipping:

This edition of Kovel's Antiques and Collectibles Price Guide for 2013 sold quickly for $9.50 with free Media mail shipping.  I also found it in the dumpster. I'm guessing someone chucked it when the 2014 version came out.

This lot of 22 Wet N Wild eyeliner and brow pencils that were a money maker at Rite Aid in January sold for $15.00 with free First Class shipping.

This huge lot of 52 Harlequin Regency Historical Romance novels that I also found at the recycling center sold for $39.99 plus $9.71 for shipping!

This lot of 8 Harlequin Super Romance novels that ALSO came from the recycling center sold for $9.99 with free Media Mail shipping.

I also sold this lot of 15 Harlequin Romantic Suspense novels from the recycling center for $17.99 with free Media mail shipping.

And, this lot of 14 Harlequin Historical Romances from the recycling center sold for $19.99 with free Media mail shipping. 

So, my Harlequin dumpster books turned out to be the gift that kept on giving this month! 

Finally, this Keurig machine that I found in the dumpster behind a well known store that sells things for your bed, bath and beyond sold for $18.00. It was missing the warming plate, and I listed it as "For Parts or Not Working", although it did light up blue when plugged in. The buyer paid for $11.63 in shipping. 

Total sales for April from my trash pickings and coupon deals this month came to about $120.00 after shipping, Ebay and Paypal fees!

Ban Total Refresh Cooling Cloth Money Makers!

Here are a couple of money maker scenarios using the "Try Me Free" coupon that was in the 4/13 Smart Source insert for the new Ban Total Refresh Cooling Body Cloths.  Hurry - the coupon expires today! 

Rite Aid

Ban Total Refresh Cooling Body Cloths, 10 ct - $3.49 reg. price

Get a $5.00 UP Reward when you spend $15.00 (Limit 4)

*This is a Monthly UP so you won't see in it the ad but tagged at the store.*

Buy 5 for a total of $17.45

Use 5 freebie coupons

Pay nothing and get a $5.00 UP reward! 

Note: RA supposedly has a restriction of 4 like coupons per transaction, so you may want to break up your transaction. This rule has never been enforced at my store.

You will have tracking on your receipt towards your next UP Reward, and will only need to buy 4 more to get another $5.00 if you have enough coupons! 

Target

Check out this blog post at Minniemizing to see how she used overage from the coupons to get Target gift cards!

Free Sample of Listerine and $3.00 Coupon!

Click HERE to get a free sample of Listerine along with a high value coupon for $3.00.

I had to right-click on "Get a Free Sample" to open a new tab because of the pop-up blocker on my computer. 

Final Harris Teeter Super Doubles Trip & Deal

When I posted my first list of matchups for this Harris Teeter Super Doubles event, I decided to try and trade for some of the regional Little Debbie coupons that we did not get in the Washington Post. I found a couponer on A Full Cup who was looking for Box Tops for Education and lived in California. I made a deal with her to trade 5 BTFE per coupon, and I just got my 5 coupons in the mail yesterday. 

I also received coupons from my mom, who lives in Virginia Beach, in the mail. One of her inserts had a regional coupon for $2.00 off 2 DiGiorno pizzas in it.

Due to the limitation of 3 identical coupons per transaction, I planned my shopping today like this:

First Transaction:

2 DiGiorno Pizzas - $5.00 each

3 Little Debbie items - $1.79 each

Total - $15.37

Coupons:

- $2.00 off 2 DiGiorno pizzas

- $1.00 off Little Debbie x 3

= $9.37 after doubling.

I paid $6.28 with tax and got back a $1.00 catalina for the DiGiorno pizzas that I knew would double on my next transaction. 

Then I did another transaction to get 2 more Little Debbie items and the rest of my groceries. After my coupons and $1.00 catalina doubled, I spent a total of $6.55.  So, my grand total for everything pictured below was $12.83.

Here is a last minute deal for the Campbell's Healthy Request Soup:

Buy 3 for $1.00 each = $3.00

- $1.00 off 3 ZVR loaded to your Vic card

- $1.00 coupon that you can print HERE, doubled

= 3 Free!

Harris Teeter Meal Deal and Money Makers!

Here is a photo of my Harris Teeter trip today. I spent $14.60 and I will get back $4.59 from Truvia. I was expecting my Truvia ZVR for $1.25 to come off and it didn't. When I got home I doubled checked my list of Evic's and found that only the 80 ct. or larger size qualified.

I did a variation on the deal that I posted about HERE, because I didn't have 5 Barilla sauce coupons, and it worked out even better than free!

I got:
- 3 jars of Barilla pasta sauce @ $1.49 each = $4.47
- 2 boxes of Barilla whole wheat pasta @ $1.29 each = $2.58
- 1 bag HT Farmers Market salad - $2.79
Total = $9.84

Then I used:
2 Barilla coupons for $1.00 from the 4/27 Smart Source insert
1 Barilla coupon for 75 cents off that you can print HERE
1 of these coupons:

After doubling, my coupon total came to $5.50
$9.84 - $7.50 in coupons = $2.34 - $2.79 for the free salad
= 45 cent money maker! 

I also had an unexpected money maker on the Rolaids! They are on sale for $3.99, but regularly $5.29. I bought two for $7.98 and used the Buy One Get One Free coupon that you can print HERE, plus a $2.00 coupon that I had in my binder leftover from last Super Doubles. The BOGO coupon auto-scanned for $5.29, giving me $1.31 in overage! 

Finally, I did the Meal Deal for this week - $9.99
Must buy all 6 in one transaction:

- Mission Soft Taco Tortillas

- Mission Tortilla Chips

- HT Shredded Cheese

- HT Sour Cream

- Perdue Shortcuts

- Pace Salsa

I used the coupon for $1.00 off the Perdue Shortcuts that you can print HERE to reduce the cost to $7.99. My store was all out of the Mission tortilla chips, so the manager allowed me to substitute the Tostitos.

If you have the Perdue Shortcuts coupon, plus the $1.00 peelie coupon on the Mission tortillas, you can get the whole enchilada for only $5.99!

Here is another deal that I did that was a money maker:

I bought:
2 Soft Soap Hand Soaps, 10 oz @ $2.50 each
1 Speedstick Deodorant - $2.50
Total = $7.50

I used:
2 Soft Soap coupon for $1.00 from the 4/27 Smart Source insert, doubled
1 Speedstick Deodorant coupon for $1.00 from the 4/27 Smart Source insert, doubled
Coupon Total = $6.00

Then I got the $3.00 instant savings for purchasing 3 participating Colgate-Palmolive items, and $1.50 in overage!

Free Pasta Sauce and Salad at Harris Teeter!

Harris Teeter is running a special promotion to get a free bag of HT Farmers Market Bagged Salad when you spend $6.00 on Barilla products with your Vic card:

Here is a great scenario to get the whole deal free:

5 jars of Barilla Pasta Sauce - $1.49 each = $7.45
1 bag of HT Farmers Market Bagged Salad - $2.79
Total = $10.24

Use 2 of these coupons:
