Received $11.33 in rebate checks, which went straight to savings.
My Ibotta account got over $20, so I cashed out $20, leaving the rest as a head start on the next payout. I sent that money to Paypal.
I found Smirnoff Churro flavored vodka for $6. Ibotta had a $3 rebate on any flavor, making this bottle very cheap.

8/21 Money Monday
I sold a 3/4 size guitar that is no longer used here as my only guitarist is man-sized now. The buyer was thrilled to get a deal on one for his kid. He paid in $5s, making the $5 Tin a bit fatter.
I sold two mascaras that I decided I truly didn't need. They were still NIP, but my mascara box wouldn't close so I let them go. She paid in $5s and the $5 Tin had another snack.
I scored $2 gelato at Target. Not a 'big' deal, but one that made everyone here pretty happy. lol Splurges for cheap for the win.
I was unhappy with a product a few weeks ago. The box had a 'tell us what you think' address, so I did. They sent me an apology letter and 2 coupons for free products of my choice from their line. Great customer service.
The Scotch tape monster had a lovely meal apparently. I went to use some tape and the roll was empty, not even a smidge left. Annoyed that it hadn't been replaced, I went to the place where new rolls are stored and it was empty! GAH! When you take the last of something, let Mom know, people!!! So, I hopped on Office Depot, ordered another 12 rolls, used my Rewards Certificates and had them delivered in 2 days, all for free. Now to find a new place to hide the rolls....

8/18 Firsts and Finals
Firsts
*Chapstick Total Hydration Lip Scrub This is surprisingly good. The peppermint is there, but not overpowering, and the scrub is just the right amount of abrasive. I love Lush scrubs, but this price is much better.
*Grace Cole body mist in Vanilla Blush & Peony I needed something to meet an Ulta threshold, so I tossed this in the cart. It's very nice, light, flowery without being too much. Sadly it doesn't last long. Even for a body mist, it wears off quickly.
*Sally Hansen Miracle Gel and Top Coat This stuff is amazing, lasts and lasts. The color Malibu Peach is perfect with a tan, too.
*Sephora instant moisturizer Solid 'meh'. It's okay, not awful, but not great. I have others I prefer.
Finals
*fresh Rose Face Mask I stretched this sample until it squeaked, but it's gone. The more I used it, the more I liked it. I will buy when I find a sale.
*Mario Badescu seaweed night cream This cream dried out quickly in the jar. I didn't love it, but I am now hunting for polish in that gorgeous color.
Faves
*Chapstick scrub, Sally Hansen top coat

8/14 Money Monday
Received a $12 rebate check, which went straight to savings.
Target is running one of my favorite promos 'spend $20, get $5' on health/personal care. I always take advantage of this, stocking the bathroom with toothpaste, toothbrushes, cotton balls, etc. This time I had a $5 GC from the promo for spending $20 on kid clothes, so I spent $15 OOP, restocked needed supplies and have a $5 GC for later.
Our local trampoline park had a promo 'bring in a backpack with school supplies and get 2 hrs free jumping'. I bought a backpack on sale from Walgreens, which is decent quality and passed the 'cute' test from my daughter. We shopped our stash of supplies, which were all high quality bought on deep sales, and filled it up. I told daughter's bestie's mom about the promo, so both girls helped other people AND get to spend time together at one of their favorite places and on the cheap. Win-win!
One of our dance stores had a 20% off entire store sale. Pointe shoes are expensive! 20% off helped a bit. Daughter's bestie met us there, so we shopped with friends, saved a bit of money, and hit Chipotle for lunch with free kid meal passes from the library's summer reading program.
Yankee had a promo 'buy 1 medium, get 2 free'. I got 3 candles for the price of 1 and checked 3 gifts off the Christmas List. :)
