Mail-in rebates are a great way to save money…if you remember to mail them in – that’s the key. There are several mail-in rebate offers currently available, but before I list them, here are a few suggestions to help you stay organized with rebate offers.
– Keep a folder. Keep the forms needed for mail-in rebate offers in a folder designated for such offers.
– Set aside receipts ASAP. When you purchase a specific product for a mail-in rebate, take the original receipt and place it in the rebate folder as soon as you can. That way, even if you don’t have time to complete the rebate at that exact moment, you will know where the receipt is when you do have time.
– Make copies. Before you seal the required contents for a rebate in an envelope, make photocopies or scan a copy of them to your computer. This includes the receipt and rebate form. That way, if for some reason you never receive your rebate or it is rejected, you can refer to your paperwork to see if it was an error on your part or the company’s.

About Carrie Rocha
Carrie – How about the free Snapple rebate currently out? One per person, per household. It’s good on a 6 pack of any Snapple flavor. Gotta love it when I can use the kids names to get free product too!
If it’s the same one that was out a while ago, we got one of ours, but not the other. :( My husband and I each got one, but only got one rebate.
You can just fill in the information on an index card and send it in that way. This is the information you need to include:
Fill out a rebate form or 3×5 card for each household member. Put each person’s name and address on their own 3X5 card. Include the original receipt and UPC for each. This is for a rebate on one six pack, up to $6.99. You can send them in the same envelope and on the same receipt, and the rebate center phone number, if you have any questions, is 1-866-309-6256.

Hope this helps!
About the bounce offer, it states at one of the participating store. What are the stores? n
I also scan my receipts/rebate forms in to the computer, as well as the envelope with the address. (had a cs rep tell me once that I must have sent it to the wrong address) I love not wasting ink on a copy and not having to keep a paper copy. As far as counting them in the budget- I still count any OOP as an expense. When I get the rebate back I count it as extra money earned that is applied to whatever we are saving for. It helps me keep my spending in check and keep my focus on the goal.
For the for the Snapple rebate when do you have to purchase by and when must it be postmarked by?
where i can find the form for Snapple rebate? please can someone send a direkt link for form ? thanks.
and if someone knows more for mail in rebate. i love that.
All rebate checks go into the Christmas savings account!
This is so helpful. I love adding rebate savings to my coupon savings. Right now I am working on the Theraflu and the Pediasure rebates. I wasn’t aware of these listed or the snapple.
The question I have is when a product has a rebate and then awhile later has a rebate how do you know if you can do both or if it is the same. For example the Renapure had a rebate a year or two ago and I sent it in then didn’t see any on them for awhile and a couple of monnths ago saw a rebate tag on the bottle? It is one per household but with the time lapse and this was for a style product I wondered if okay to submit again or ?
Thanks all, this is a great way to save and many times they will send coupons too. I know The Neurgen (sp?) rebate for diabetes pain sent a 10.00 coupon which makes it a better then free deal at Wags this month without having the Diabetes flyer coupon. All helps.
Carrie,
Could we see a heading and spot for rebate deals known and expired? Like the idea
