If you have been following me, you know that I want to pay for my 2012 Christmas free or as close to free as possible using online surveys, rebates, etc. to pay for it. If you remember, I purchased the below pictured Olay Gift set which had an offer of a free magazine subscription or a Rebate. I opted for the Rebate. Now I ordered it online and had to pay $9.54 with tax.
Today I received the Rebate in the mail from Global and the amount refunded was $9.00. Sooooo, they don't refund the tax. Pretty much the same with coupons so I'm good with that. The $.54 that was not refunded comes out of the amount of the Send Earnings cash in I did which states the check will be mailed out March 1st so still have weeks to go till that comes in. I also cashed out the Inbox Dollars (Sister site to Send Earnings) account so I have about $35 coming from that one as well.
So here's where I stand on my Christmas 2012 so far. As you can see, I mark where the money is coming from and if there is any outstanding such as the Olay Gift Basket. That $.54 comes off the Send Earnings cash in.
The $142.76 is the total value of the items and the $19.14 is the amount I have come out of pocket. Once that Send Earnings check comes in, the $19.14 comes off that total. Right now I actually have $16.30 left of the Send Earnings left to spend. The amount above will change once I receive the $5.00 Rebate on the Crock Pot from Walgreens. So I'm right on track for $0.00 spent out of my bank account for Christmas. I will probably use the Inbox Dollars money to purchase winter shirts/sweaters for the hubby from clearance at various stores as I will be able to get them very cheap by doing it that way.
Now in case you are wondering about the difference on the Crock Pot, I purchased it on sale and used a Walgreens loyalty card so I only paid $8.60 for it. There is a $5.00 Rebate that I have submitted so I will be paying $3.60 out of my Send Earnings check for the crock pot which still isn't coming out of my account as it is money I have earned online doing surveys and PTR (paid to read) e-mails. I'll explain more on those in upcoming posts.
