99c shipping on Groceries at Amazon.com

Amazon is running a new promotion that gets you all the groceries you want for just 99c in standard shipping. This is a special promotion! You can check qualifying items at the Amazon Grocery store. The items that qualify are only the ones sold and shipped by Amazon, not by other third-party and marketplace sellers that also do business over there at Amazon.

If you like to buy groceries online, this is an awesome deal because groceries are usually heavy and have a noticeable shipping and handling fee!

Free after rebates at Walgreens, Rite Aid and Longs/CVS!

We have a trifecta this week at three of the major drugstore chains! A trifecta of free after rebate promotions are live at three of the major drugstore chains!

We start at Walgreens, where you can get a 5.6oz to 6oz Aquafresh Advanced Toothpaste, free after a RegisterReward of $3. This is great because you receive the RegisterRewards coupon right after you pay, and you can turn around and use it on your next purchase. Nothing to mail and no waiting at all!

Next we move to Rite Aid, where they have online or traditional mail-in rebates. For free, you can get the Skin Clinic Advanced Wart Remover Kit for free after a $15 Single-Check-Rebate. This is part of their monthly catalog, and you can submit the rebate online. Nothing to mail, no UPC codes to hunt.

But that's not all at Rite Aid, you can also get a free Crest ProHealth Enamel Shield toothpaste after a $2.69 rebate. This is the 4.2 ounce version. Both rebates are one per person per rebate catalog.

And we close with CVS, which now includes Longs Drugs! They no longer do rebates, but instead, have the "Extra Bucks" rewards program where you receive coupons you can use on your next purchase. Again, the good news is that you don't have to submit anything, you receive the coupons right when you checkout and you can turn around and use them on your next purchase.

The freebie at CVS are SoyJoy nutrition bars. There is a limit of five free SoyJoy bars per card. Each one costs $1. After you pay for them, the checkout register will print a coupon for you. So if you buy four, you will get a coupon for $4 off any order of $4 or more. Not bad at all! This is not cash, so you have to use it at CVS and use it within a few weeks before it expires.

That's all for this week, and as you can see, there are some nice goodies. To summarize:
+ five SoyJoy nutrition bars
+ ProHealth toothpaste
+ Aquafresh Advanced toothpaste
+ Wart remover kit

How to use your prepaid Visa cards without hassle

More and more retailers are offering their mail-in rebates via a pre-paid Visa card instead of an old fashioned check. This gets a number of consumers confused as to how much they spent on the card, how much remains, and things like that.

To minimize the hassle involved, here are some suggestions on how to spend your pre-paid gift cards:

* use them to reload your reusable cards for the exact amount (Kinkos, laundry, coffee cards, etc) for the exact amount. Problem solved!

* use them to buy services (iTunes, prepaid phone service, etc)

* use the whole amount of the gift card to pay part of a pending bill (cable, DSL, telephone, etc)

* If you use a credit card rewards program, make sure you don't use these cards on things that would otherwise get you a reward of more than 1%. You don't want to lose the extra percentage points!

* If your credit card offers special benefits on purchases (price assurance, extra warranty, etc), and you want these on a particular purchase, then be sure not to use the prepaid gift card as part of the promotion.

5c insertion fees on eBay from June 2 to 15 (select categories only)

If you are an eBay seller, or want to give eBay a try, be sure to check out their new 5c insertion fees promotion running from June 2 to June 15, 2009!

This applies to select product categories, which however, include popular items such as many consumer electronics and select sporting gear (eg golf clubs). This applies to fixed price items only.

They also have more requirements and prerequisites, in typical eBay ball-busting bureaucracy.

Apparently they haven't fired enough of the idiots who ruined eBay by making stupid decisions one after the other and created insanely convoluted situations while allowing thieves and scammers to get away with cheating honest eBay sellers and buyers!

eBay, you need change we can believe in! Not rearranging the deck-chairs-change!
