Rebate Me—What Can I Get Rebates on Now?

Save big on purchases you make every day.

Sometimes there are rewards for buying things and these rewards are known as rebates!

Being Pittsburgh Frugal means using rebates as well as coupons to maximize your savings. Oftentimes a purchase is accompanied by a fill-in form that you submit with your register receipt. You can receive a good bit of your purchase price back—if not all of your money back—for just sending the appropriate information in.

The most important thing about rebates:

a) make sure to submit by the appropriate date,

b) make sure you buy the appropriate product,

c) keep your register receipt,

d) see what other items you need to get the rebate (upc numbers off the product, labels, etc.)

e) make sure the rebate form itself has not expired.

The other type of rebate is not a rebate but a "guarantee of money back." This simply means that if you are not completely satisfied with the product you purchased, there is a form to send in to receive either your money back or a coupon for another one of the company's products. (See the Jergen's offer below for an example.)
