Questions Answered

I got a couple questions after my last post so I thought I would answer them publicly because others may be wondering the same thing.

Tonight I was telling my husband about this particular blog and that you got basically paid for getting stuff... He works in retail and is wondering how you are getting cash back on the items. He says most coupons will say "no cash value" or such on them...

I have never gotten cash back. You get overage when your coupons equal more than the product. I have heard of other people getting cash back but I don't feel right about this. So if I know I am going to get overage I get another product and then the overage covers that. As for the Walgreens deal, I get my FAR money put on a Walgreens card which I get at the end of the month.

So yesterday I paid:
$30.81
I will get $46.04 + 10% back on my Walgreens card
that is how I made $12.61

I didn't actually get cash back but I will get it on a Walgreens card which spends just like a gift card.

One more thing... where do I get the SDC?
You get the SDC in Safeway's ad. Most Safeways have a big stack of ads by customer service.
