Starbucks Dash (Nov 10-12): Buy 3 Teavana Iced Teas, Get 30 Bonus Stars

Running in parallel with the Holiday drinks promotion, Starbucks Rewards members may have another offer available for them. You have to check your email or app and first activate the offer before you earn the bonus.

It’s a fairly simple and easy to do dash. You buy three Teavana Shaken Iced Teas between November 10-12 in 2017, and you get 30 bonus stars, in addition to the regular stars of the purchase amount.

Starbucks Nov 9-13 (2-5pm local time): BOGO on Holiday Drinks and Cake Pops

The Holidays are coming in faster than the speed of light! The official Holiday drinks have arrived at Starbucks stores, and between November 9-13 in 2017, between 2-5pm local time, they have a “Buy One Get One FREE” promotion on all the Holiday drinks. No coupon is needed. But both drinks must be one of the half a dozen eligible drinks under their holiday menu. Regular mocha or latte drinks are NOT eligible.

But that’s not all! Hidden below the high profile BOGO offer on the drinks, they also have a BOGO offer on the holiday peppermint Cake Pop, along with the Snowman shaped sugar cookie! They go for $2 and $3 respectively each, so with the BOGO, $2 get you two cakepops, or $3 get you two snowman sugar cookies.

Just like the drinks, only the designated holiday menu cakepop and sugar cookie is eligible. You cannot mix and match with regular menu items. You must needs buy two of the same holiday pop or cookie!

Target (Nov 16-23): Buy $50+ in Food/Beverages, Get $10 Target Gift Card

Target is trying to encourage customers to make their Thanksgiving meal purchases at their stores thanks to a new offer they posted in a glossy flyer in this week’s circular grocery ads. The offer is this: between November 16-23 in 2017, if you purchase $50 or more in Foods and Beverages, you will earn a $10 Target gift card to be spent in the future. Prepared food is excluded (Starbucks and Target cafes) and Baby and Pet food is also excluded.

You don’t need the coupon from the add, you can also find it in the Target app, or you can text them and they’ll send it to you. They want people to get the coupon and shop shop shop 🙂

Nov 7-13 (2017): Buy 3 select Food Items, Get 150 Bonus Stars [Starbucks Rewards]

This promotion is probably only of interest if you frequently buy food at Starbucks. Otherwise it would be too expensive to do just to get the bonus stars. This is another offer that requires activation, so it is YMMV. Check your emails or the Starbucks app to see if their AI Bots invited you to participate.

The offer runs November 7-13 in 2017 and it is this:

Lucky coupons when you spend $50 or more! [Members get $30 off $200+ orders]

If you are in the Lucky’s grocery store email lists, dig into your inbox for their latest email. It has a coupon code that gets you a discount depending on your order total. The discount is $5 off if your store purchase total is $50+ and it increases as your store purchase total increases.

But that’s not all, if you are a Rewards member and you make a $200+ purchase, you will get an extra $10 off. So if you are a Rewards member [free to join], you get $30 off a $200+ order.

Exclusions apply as usual. Coupon cannot be used on gift cards, alcohol, smokes, money-equivalents (money orders, etc), prescriptions, lottery, etc.

The coupon expires Tuesday night (November 7 in 2017).

3X Points on Holiday Blend Coffee at Peets until 11/12/17

It’s official the start of the holiday season when the Holiday Blend arrives at the Peet’s Coffee shops. And they have arrived! To encourage coffee fans to stock up, Peets has a new promotion for their Peektnik Rewards members [free to join]. You earn three points instead of one point IF your purchase includes any of the Holiday Blend coffees. The K-Cups are NOT eligible.

The promotion runs until November 12, in 2017, and can be used multiple times. So if you buy coffee beans every day until 11/12/17, you will earn 3 points every time 🙂

There is no coupon code to enter, you just have to “check in” using the Peetnik app! In other words, have your app scanned at the register at Peets.

New Starbucks After 2PM Dash with maximum 100 Bonus Stars

Another new “After 2pm local time” Dash promotion is running at Starbucks Rewards. You have to manually activate this offer by web browser or the Starbucks app IF you have been invited by their computers to participate.

Once you do that, if you make five purchases during the promotion period of October 31st until November 6 in 2017, you will earn 25 Bonus Stars, but the real reason to participate in this promotion is the top of the promotion, if you make seven of more purchases, you get 100 bonus stars, which are 80% towards a reward. So those extra two purchases are a jump of 75 in reward stars!

This is a separate transactions promotion, not a consecutive visits in consecutive days promotion.

50c off Kind Bar Sweet and Spicy coupons at Whole Foods B&M

Kind Bars have their famous fruit and nut bars, but after they became famous, they also launched a “Strong and Kind” line that is varying degrees of spicy, and have more protein and are bigger (wider) in size. This line now morphed into the “Sweet and Spicy” line-up.

For this line only (not the regular Kind bars), at Whole Foods brick and mortar stores, you will find a coupon next to them that gets you 50c off one bar. The bars go on sale on their own, and the coupon is stackable with the sale. The sale is per unit, so even if the display says “2 for $X”, you can buy one and get the sale price.

I haven’t tried buying two bars with two coupons yet, I only do one bar with one coupon 🙂

This is a picture of the coupon (on top of their flyer):

The coupon expiration is December 31st in 2017.

These bars are flying under the radar as far as the general population is concerned, so don’t worry, they won’t sell out 🙂

6pk of Green Tea Mints for $2.38

If you like green tea flavored mints, hurry up to amazon.com where they have a limited time offer, the “Sencha Naturals” (that’s the brand name) is offering is a 6-pack of Moroccan Mint flavor mint canisters for $2.38 total. That’s right, that gets you six canisters, with about 60 mints per canister!

Limit up to four six-packs per customer. So if you max out on this, you pay just under $10 and you get around 1440 mints! Mints for everyone! That’s 144 mints per dollar!

Only the “Moroccan Mint” flavor is on sale. Moroccan Mint is typically a mix of green tea and mint, taking its name from the tea. These are tea-flavored mints after all 🙂

1 lb of Happy Belly Yogurt Trail Mix for $2

Clip-on coupons to the rescue! Amazon’s Prime Pantry is currently running a green clip-on coupon promotion on their one pound of , with the coupon dropping the price down to $2.07 or so. Not bad for a pound of this stuff!

Not only that, but this qualifies for the Buy Five or More Qualifying Items, get $6 off your order total promotion that is running until October 31st in 2017. This almost counters the $7 Pantry Box delivery fee. So you pay $1 instead of $7. Not as good as the free shipping no-rush credit, but if you don’t have that, and they are not offering it, $1 is better than $7 🙂

For more ideas, check our previous Prime Pantry posts.

IMPORTANT: Prime Pantry product availability varies by region, so items that are in-stock at one location, may not be in-stock at another. Prime Pantry operates locally, you can only buy what’s available at your local warehouse. This is different from regular Amazon purchases where they ship items from all over the country.

$1 Small Coffee or Tea at Peets Bay Area Every Wednesday during the NBA Season

If you live or work or travel or go on vacation in the Northern California SF/SJ Bay Area during the NBA Season, and there is a Peet’s Coffee store near you, every Wednesday, you can get a Small Coffee or Tea for $1 IF you visit their stores wearing Golden State Warriors logo gear.

The promotion runs October 18th, 2017 until June 15th, 2018.

Their email does not specify exactly what qualifies. A shirt or a jacket for example would have to qualify. What if you take a Warriors licensed coffee mug? A hat? Shorts? Shoes? Rings? Scarf? Only way to find out – ask in-store or show up with it.

Or to be on the safe side, wear EVERYTHING Golden State Warriors 🙂

Six RXBAR Trial 4-packs (24 total bars) for $36 w/free S&H

If you are a fan of RXbars or want to try different flavors, they are currently running a pretty good “Buy Two, Get One Free” promotion on 4-packs on their website for a limited time!

They offer 4-packs of various flavors for $9 each. You have to add 4-packs in multiples of three in your shopping cart to get the deal. They can be three different 4-packs or three of the same, your choice. For every two you have the in the shopping cart, the third becomes free!

Free shipping is with orders of $40+ (before the discount), so you have to buy six 4-packs in order to get free shipping. That’s 24 Rxbars for $36 with free shipping. It comes out to $1.50 per bar! Since it’s food, there shouldn’t be any sales tax (unless your state sales-taxes food).

Here’s a screenshot of the shopping cart with six 4-packs:

There is no coupon code to enter, the shopping cart automatically adjust the prices while this offer is running!

As of the time of writing, these trial 4-packs are available:

  • Maple Sea Salt
  • Blueberry
  • Peanut Butter
  • Kids trial packs are also available however note that the kids bars are almost half the weight of the standard size bars!

2 lbs Tim Horton’s Original Blend Whole Bean Coffee for $8 [Prime Pantry]

If you are planning a Prime Pantry order, and you want to stock up on some coffee beans at a great price, you are in luck! The 2 lb bag of Tim Horton’s Original Blend Whole Bean Coffee is currently on sale for $10.73 but that’s not all. This has a 25% off clip-on coupon, dropping the price down to $8 while the clip-on coupon is running.

That’s $4 per pound for name-brand coffee beans, pretty pretty pretty good! It averages 4.4 out of 5 based on 89 customer reviews.

Note however that because of the way Prime Pantry works, this may not be available in all regions. Unlike the regular Amazon, Prime Pantry is locally based, so if they don’t have something in their local warehouse, they can’t put it in your Prime Pantry box and deliver it to your front door.

PS: if you don’t want to pay the whole $7 flat shipping fee, and you need more items, there is currently a promotion that gets you a $6 off discount when you buy five or more items from a select list of qualifying products. You don’t have to get five different eligible items, you can get five units of the same item. It doesn’t matter what combination, as long as you have five eligible items.

PS2: if you have any leftover free Pantry shipping credits, you may be able to stack them with the $6 off. I’m not sure – I haven’t tried this combination before.

Starbucks Dash on Teavana Teas

This is a very easy dash to complete, if you have been invited to participate either by email or within the Starbucks Rewards app. After opting in / activating the offer, all you have to do is buy any three Teavana between October 24-30 in 2017 (start and end dates included), and you’ll get 30 bonus stars, which are 24% of a full reward. You will also earn the normal reward starts on the purchase price of the three teas.

Better yet, you can combine the above purchases with some of the challenges in the Starbucks BINGO, so you can get checkmarks on both promotions with the same purchase. For example, if you plan a big $12+ purchase that coincides with the time period of the $6+ purchase, then you’ll get both of those covered. And if that order includes a tea, you’ll get a checkmark on this offer too!

Peetnik Rewards: Three Bonus Points on TWO Check-Ins this week

If you are a regular at Peet’s, this week is a good week to score extra rewards points! All you have to do is check-in (make a purchase) TWO times between 10/23 and 10/29 in 2017. Unlike Starbucks, all the Peets offers are automatically activated for anyone participating in their Peetknik Rewards program, so you just use the app to pay and you’ll score the points.

The way the promotion is phrased, it suggests that you will get three extra bonus points, in addition to the usual point you receive with every check-in.

You need 15 points to earn a reward. Assuming you redeem the reward for your most expensive item, let’s say a $6 item, this places a value of $0.40 per reward point. So the three bonus points are worth $1.20 in virtual redemption value. Plus the two regular points for the two check-ins/purchases.
