I never had any problems with rebates. Sometimes you can get the item for free or nearly free.

I have to say that Ive tried the flat bread with chicken and cheese thing before. It was good and I have friends who love them.

I don’t eat Skinny Cow ice cream and I didn’t test to see if the coupon is valid, but I found a site that says you can print out a coupon and possibly get free ice cream at CVS:

I suggest considering pre-making what you can, at times. For example, if you like the dinner salad, when you go to make it again, boil a couple extra eggs. I know you don’t want to boil a dozen at a time, as that reduces your flexibility, but it gives you a fast and easy snack later in the week OR a shortcut to a later dinner.

Also, pancakes freeze fairly well in freezer baggies. Make some extra there too next time, pop your normal serving size into freezer baggies (so, for me, I’d make 8 extra, and freeze them in baggies of two each), freeze them and then pop them in the toaster to reheat when you need a fast meal.

I’m glad you’re continuing this challenge–I started subscribing to your blog yesterday after reading from the beginning in a quick catch-up. Can you tell us a little more about yourself, please? I would love to know what you do for a living. I’m s SAHM so I have more time than the average person to find deals so I’m curious as to how you find the time. Keep up the good work!

For some breakfast variety you could try making some crepes instead of pancakes.

When I worked for a contact lens company, they would count on the fact that 80% of the people would not send in their rebates and those ones are high dollar value (40.00-100.00) Keep up the good work I am totally loving this and learning a lot!

My turn around time on the SC Johnson $5 rebate was almost 4 weeks. That was mid-April and rec’d mid-May. I had an email of receipt within 5 days of mailing which was very nice. I was impressed with SC Johnson’s rebate.

I have done both the Kraft and SC Johnson deals and had no problems getting my rebates. I believe Kraft even has a website that you can log into to check on your rebate/promo status.
