Bargain of the Week

Get a Free Bob's Red Mill Product After up to $8.99 E-Rebate

Dear Readers: We spoke to the company on Friday and they assured us the offer was NOT ending today (the 28th). But the links are failing. Their own website still lists the promotion, but the offer is not there! Speaking to them at 11 a.m. today (Monday), they say that quantities ran out over the weekend and they apologized for the offer not being available on 9/28 -- the day they promoted! Sorry for the disappointment.

Sign up at Bob's Red Mill for this offer that will give you a full-price e-rebate up to $8.99 via PayPal or Venmo for the purchase of one Bob's Red Mill product. Fill out that form with your phone and email. After purchase, you will need to take a picture of the receipt and text it to them. Text the word offer to 254-356-2778 for a link and submission instructions when you are ready to complete the submission. The offer is while supplies last (and it does not end on September 28th as some might have believed).
