I have a link for a Zout rebate making it free. I saw this product at my walgreens for about 4.00. My post is here;

Well, this is my first month of doing the rebates too. But if you look in the rebate section of the Easy Saver book, for the Glade Candles (#30) it says, “Rebate limit of FOUR (4) for up to $4 in savings!” The cleaning supplies one (#31) also has a limit of 4, so I’m doing 2 Pledge, 1 Shout and 1 Scrubbing Bubbles. But most of the free items have a limit of 1, as do some of the other stuff in the weekly ad. Hope this helps!

On the rebates, are you only allowed 1 rebate offer per 1 item for that month? You have 2 $1 rebates on the Glade Candles, so I wasn’t sure if you can only receive just 1 $1 rebate on this? I have never done the rebate thing yet but was trying to understand it and how many you can get. If I purchased 4 candles, do I get to receive 4 $1 rebates? From what I was reading it said only 1 rebate offer per item to one address. So just trying to get this figured out before I calculate it into the price. Thanks a bunch - love this stuff.

You’re right - I have a ton of stuff I could never go through on my own! My goal is to have about 3 months worth of stuff. My sister and brother-in-law are right out of college and currently working minimum-wage type jobs, so I made them a huge basket of stuff - laundry detergent, shaving cream, air freshener, makeup, razors, bandaids, medicine, toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, etc. I also gave my parents some stuff. It feels good knowing I can help people without spending much money. In the future, I plan to donate things whenever I’m ‘ahead.’

Great job! Can I ask what you do with all the extra non-planned purchases? I don’t think I could go through so much!
