Olan and saving cash...
Hey folks. I figured I'd share this for you in Spamvertize - where you can easily ignore if it doesn't appeal to you.
Early this year, my wife got me going on Ibotta. She'd been trying for a few months, but I just hadn't bothered to look at it... and I feel silly for waiting.
The deal is that it's a free app for your phone. It has all kinds of retailers (Target, Wal Mart, Best Buy, etc) - plus an online retailer section.
The in store stuff is pretty cool. They have all of these offers for stuff you are probably buying anyway. A dollar back on Fruit Loops, fifty cents on bacon, a dollar on Klondike bars, and so on and so forth. You scroll through, add the offers, then submit your receipt after you finish shopping. Within a day (usually, within a few minutes), they credit your account. Once you hit a certain threshold - I forget, I think it was ten dollars or something like that - you can withdraw the balance onto various gift cards, paypal, venmo, etc, etc.
I started Ibotta in February, took a break with the baby's birth, picked back up. In May, I cashed out a hundred dollars. As of today (July 29th), I'm at another $87.
No, you're not going to get rich... but you're getting cash back on stuff you are already buying. I use this as a way to help save for our Disney World trip next year - I withdraw and immediately buy Disney gift cards with it.
I won't lie, it behooves me to get you hooked - I get a little referral if anyone installs the app and actually uses it... and if I can get one more person to sign up and use it by the end of the month, I get a $20 bonus.
But seriously - check it out. It costs nothing but a very small amount of time, and again, you're just buying stuff that you were already buying (groceries is my big deal, though they do have a bunch of other stores).

Awesome. +2 to all saving throws for my players who sign up and redeem at least one offer with it (thus making them "count" for me).

gulp
Don't joke about that right now, Olan! The straits we're in, they're dire!
But you know what isn't dire?
All these s-s-s-saaaaavings! I'm going grocery shopping today too so this is perfect.

Bwahaha... I LITERALLY laughed out loud when you segued into commercial. I'm really glad that my office is isolated, people would be looking at me like I was a lunatic.
(I was joking?)

Well, dang it. I got notification that Eol had signed up from my link, but he still doesn't "count" yet - you have to redeem one of the retailer offers (i.e. coupons). Not just a percent back in gas or whatever. So maybe a Wal Mart or whatever?
No credit at all for breebles. Maybe since you've had the app before?
Boo! Hiss!

Yup... cousin and her husband are dropping by on their way through Ohio, tomorrow, gotta make sure I have sustenance and libations on hand.
Here's hoping those +2 saves make a difference.

Spoiler alert: zombies use typical attack rolls. In a typical pitched battle with no magic wielders, I'm not sure that you'll NEED saving throws ever.
I mean... er... yeah, I'm sure it'll be SUPER useful!
