Now that I got your attention, here is my rant… It drives me nuts when people submit brags like omg all of this for 1.00 or 10.00 money maker when they used a giftcard, extra bucks, or register rewards to pay. Yes i understand if you used 30.00 in extra bucks at cvs and only paid a dollar…. but you had to buy stuff to get those extra bucks, they didnt fall from the sky. When i post my deals, i only look at what I paid. If i used a 10.00 giftcard to pay then ill add it to what I actually paid on my receipt. If u use rewards to pay, ill add them back into my out of pocket, then take into consideration what i earned from my purchase. If i paid 5.00 out of pocket, but used 3.00 in extra bucks to pay then ill say i paid 8.00 out of pocket then look at what i earned. If i earned 6.00 in extra bucks then 8.00-6.00= 2.00 so ill say its like i paid 2.00 not 5.00 – 3.00 i used to pay = 2.00 – 6.00 i earned = 4.00 moneymaker. A lot of people would say 4.00 moneymaker but that is not true! You double count your extra bucks (when you earn & when you use). Hope this helps others that are posting! Happy friday!
