15% off site-wide at RXBar until 1/22/18

Good until January 22nd at 11:59pm, the RXBar website has a 15% off site-wide sale. The sale price is factored in automatically in the shopping cart, there’s no coupon code needed to enter. Additionally, you get free shipping with orders of $20+, in other words a 12-pack or more.

Subscriptions (similar to Amazon’s “Subscribe & Save”) are NOT eligible for the discount since they get their own discount.

After I got tired of the Kind Bar “Strong and Kind” (the spicy and protein-boosted bars), the RXbars are now my new favorites! I scoop them up whenever there’s a sale.

If you haven’t tried them before, the sell various flavors individually at Trader Joe for $2 each, so that’s a low risk way of trying them.

1 lb Organic Ground Cinnamon for $5 [limit 4]

Cinnamon fans, unite and take over! Amazon is offering their house brand of Happy Belly 1 lb of Organic Ground Cinnamon for $5 with up to four of these per customer at this price.

There is a catch however, they are an add-on item, so you must place a $25+ order, elsewise the shopping cart won’t let you buy them. Four of these are $20~, so you just need another small thing to get to $25+. May I recommend the Sencha Mints or the RXbar 12-packs?

6pk Sencha Naturals Green Tea Mints for $4.43

If you are a fan of mints in a tin, grab your Amazon wallets! They are back on sale again, you get a SENCHA NATURALS Green Tea Mints (Moroccan Mint) for $4.43, with up to four bundles per customer. $4.43 gets you SIX tins of mints, not one!

I bought this the previous time they were on sale, here’s what your $4 gets you. Six tins sealed together in a nice little cardboard-y box. Not a bad idea as a gift either. Or if you want to “send a message” to someone about their mouth “aromas” 🙂

You can easily pay close to $4 for a single tin at coffee shop and health-centric retailers! Instead you get six of them. Or if you want to max out, you can get 24 tins for under $18.

They are however an Add-On item, so your total order must be $25+, otherwise the Amazon shopping cartt won’t let you buy them.

12pk RxBar Peanut Butter Chocolate for $18 [limit 4]

Rxbars, another deal is here! In addition to the previously mentioned Mixed Berries, Amazon also has a sale on the Peanut Butter Chocolate 12-pack for $18. No coupon needed, no Subscribe and Save needed, but this is currently restricted to Prime members. It comes out to $1.50 per bar, which is a pretty good price for these! Limit four 12-packs per customer at this sale price.

This is a nice mix of chocolate and peanut butter, “facilitated” by the underlying date flavor that dominates most of these bars. I was pleasantly surprised by the taste, and I’m typically not the #1 fan of all things peanuts 🙂

This is a relatively new flavor, thus the sale to encourage more people to give it a try.

12pk RXBar Mixed Berries for $15.30 after coupon

If you are a fan of the RXBars, grab your wallets and run to Amazon, where thanks to a 15% off clip-on coupon, you can get a 12-pack of RXBar Mixed Berries for $15.30 after the clip-on coupon. This is the normal purchase. The “Subscribe and Save” is about a dollar less.

Both the price of the 12-pack and the coupon are running separately from each other. For example, the price of the RXbars can go up and down. The discount will be a flat 15% off on the current price, not a fixed discount.

Note also that the coupon only works for items sold and shipped by Amazon actual. Marketplace sellers are not eligible for the 15% off coupon.

Kindle First choices for January 2018 are here!

Happy New Year to one and all! 2018 is here and a new month means, among many other things, a reload of the free selections for Prime members through the Kindle First program, which is now rebranded as “Kindle First Reads”, because the new twist is that the pre-release e-books are also available for purchase as hardcovers before their ebook release. Confusing, I know 🙂

But as Prime members, we still get one of the six for FREE. The hardcovers are NOT free 🙂 As usual, you have until the end of the month to make a pick, so you can give them a few more days, so more customer reviews will get published. These can help you which decide book to pick, or which book(s) to avoid picking.

The options for January 2018 are:
