no yeti no care.
I hunt down the best deals and get 2% cash back on my Fidelity Amex which all goes into an IRA. I save less but I don't spend what I save

Bring it.
I do appreciate it, but i think it comes down to laziness for most of us.
Lots of people get a kick out of this stuff, apparently not the majority of RM members.
Thanks for sharing because it may help me when I'm paying enough attention
One thing I just learned is buying 10 percent off coupons for Lowes on eBay (moving coupons from real estate agents) I think 5 for $6. The coupon codes are emailed within 5min. Sounds sketch, but just saved a couple hundred on a big house purchase...

If you just bought 10$ maxxis tires, you wasted money doing you know 26" is unrideable?I just bought 6 Maxxis tires for $10/ea.
They are mostly for my kids. We currently have 4-26ers in the family and one 24er. But point taken.
Working in a very mtb orientated shop it's weird seeing 26 vanish. Glad someone is reaping the benefits of good tire deals.
Too lazy to do this on small purchases but I feel like I'll try it for a big item.
Along the same line my brother had a good "scam" going on with airline rewards cards. He got about 9 of them and used them to pay his law school tuition. He got tons of miles on top of the signup bonuses for each card. He payed off the cards with his loans and then canceled them after the mandatory time period.
He managed to get an essentially free trip to Bali and Thailand for his efforts

You should look up "credit card churning" - some people make thousands of dollars a year opening and closing credit accounts for bonuses.
I'm not quite at that point but I have 4 cards that all have different bonuses attached to purchases. I use all of them to get the maximum points and cash in a couple thousand bucks per year without paying any interest. I've also cycled through a few sign-up bonuses - all at least $300 just for opening the card and meeting a spending limit.
This thread has inspired me. On this evening's trail ride I noticed some smooth, rounded river rocks and have decided to sell them on ebay as rare petrified potatoes. I'm gonna be rich !
Only if you can make Vodka from them. Only Jeebus can make Vodka from rare petrified potatoes. Ask Westy he knows stuff. But be careful so he doesn't abscond with your idea....
I'm not responsible for what people do with rare petrified potatoes. Potatoes don't kill people, people do.

I have never known Westy to be Homicidal. However he seems to have resisted my efforts to acquire courtesy phone access. So I will go with your concerns....

I don't kill people, the second law of thermodynamics does. We are all agents of entropy, but instead of fighting it I have learned to relish this role.
Does this count?
93.2% of all of my boxers have more holes in them than Swiss cheese. A 3 pack of my preferred Fruit of the Loom boxers on Amazon is $18.37. I just purchased two packs, for $21.52 with shipping (free) and taxes ($4.78). I signed up for one of their credit cards and got a $20 gift card for doing so. Win win?

$20 sign on bonus for a hard credit pull is bush league, son.
I won't sign up for a card unless there's a minimum of a $200 signup bonus, unless there's a hell of a rewards program associated with it.
I had this problem. Glitter destroys your underwear. It is after all highly abrasive. Cut back on glitter and you will find the savings to be tangible enough so that you won't need to dick around with new cards every 11 months. The added health benefits will allow you to pursue better breakfast options also.
