ShopRite Bag Rebate & Baby Bucks

Well I don’t have very good news for ShopRite shoppers.  ShopRite has announced that beginning October 25, 2014 they will be ending their Reusable Bag Rebate Program.  This program was introduced more than 20 years ago. One of the first of its kind in the Northeast, the program offered a small financial incentive to reuse your plastic, paper and other reusable shopping bags.  ShopRite said:

Back then it was a way to educate and encourage our customers to conserve resources.  Our goal of encouraging bag reuse has been met. As a result, we have decided to end the rebate program effective October 25, 2014.

I received this information via e-mail from ShopRite and the e-mail indicated there was a coupon attached to the e-mail for a FREE ShopRite reusable grocery bag as a “thank you for continuing to help the environment.”  There was no coupon attached to the e-mail, but I did find a ShopRite For You eCoupon for a free bag in my ShopRite eCoupon account.

Another major bummer – one I am SO sad about.  Effective October 25, 2014 as well, the ShopRite Baby Bucks Program will come to an end.  Tear!  With 2 littles ones in diapers in our home, I have take great advantage of this awesome program and I really am sad to see it go.  The program provided a $10 baby bucks coupon off your next purchase every time you spent $100 on baby products.  The $100 spent automatically tracked on your receipt and it was super easy and always a nice double dip incentive on great diaper deals we see at ShopRite with coupons, Catalina offers, etc.  Hence my disappointment.

The upcoming ShopRite ad for 10/26 introduces and outlines the “new” ShopRite Baby Bucks program with what they’re calling new lower everyday prices on baby products.

If you have a current $10 reward to use, you have until 11/22 to redeem it.  And be sure to check your account to see if you’re close to earning a reward – I’m only $17.24 away from earning another $10 baby bucks certificate so I think before Saturday I will get one last reward in so my current points don’t go to waste!
