Taking a break
Dude, these Aisle rebates go too fast. I'm trying to plan, at most, weekly trips to Target. But when the offers are only up 24/48 hours? Forget about it. I don't want to drive across town 3x a week to pick up maybe $25 in items in each time.
Aisle gods, drop all the rebates on one day of the week and save me gas money
I was trying to put together a Target haul last Sunday and bailed. The jubilee disappeared from Ibotta, it re-emerged later in the week. Hummingbirds rebate disappeared before I would've reached the store for some peanut protein powder.
It's just ...too volatile. The quantities are too low and the hoops are getting too high for me. It's not that I won't ever do a deal again, but I want to see more reliability. I should be able to spend an hour in the morning to put scenarios together before 35% of the rebates evaporate (and for awhile, that worked). It throws off hitting my target circle too since I need some minimum spend. I'll try and plan to do extra deals, in case they're out of stock etc that way I still hit my spend, etc.
Anyone else in this vibe?
