The new year got off to a great start in my challenge to spend $50.00 or less per week, thanks to the $5.00 Food Lion coupon and Super Doubles at Harris Teeter! I earned my last pharmacy credit at Harris Teeter on December 31st, 2012 and also submitted for my last Single Check Rebate check from Rite Aid.

We made Pina Coladas in the blender for New Years Eve and had a nice New Year's day meal of pork loin and sauerkraut, homemade bread, asparagus, corn, and beets but still easily came in under $50.00 this week!

Refunding for Fun and Profit

I started refunding about two years ago. I began slowly, doing a refund here and a refund there. This month I reached my all time high for refunds. Below you see a photo of the 26 checks that I have received in 2012 totalling over $172!!

What is wonderful about these refunds was that I received them all for purchasing grocery items like meat and cheese or on items that I got for free with coupons or drugstore rewards!

The pink check on the left hand side is my Single Check Rebate from  Rite Aid . I entered my receipt info for purchases that qualified for rebates on-line, and at the end of the month Rite Aid sent me a check for the total amount. You can either deposit this check into your bank account or use it to shop at  Rite Aid for future purchases.

All of the checks in the middle and the big pink ones on the right are from beer companies, but I didn't purchase any beer to receive them. In some states you can not be required to purchase alcohol in order to receive a rebate, and Virginia is one of them. These are called "No Beer Purchase Required" rebates - abbreviated as NBPR.

These forms are often difficult to find, so I trade coupons or box tops for them. I got these refunds for purchasing snacks, pizza, meat, fruit, deli items or whatever crazy thing the beer company decided to give a refund on. Look for them on the beer/wine aisle of your supermarket.

Most of the refund amounts are small - anywhere from $1.00 to $6.00, but this just goes to show that little amounts can really add up. I never buy something just because I have a refund unless it is a "Try Me Free" offer. But if I can get something for free with coupons and a sale AND send off for a refund on it, then that's profit in my pocket!
