Great news, Nielsen National Homescan Consumer Panel is now accepting applications again! If you’re not familiar with NCP, it’s a popular program where you earn points which are redeemable for electronics, household items, jewelry, toy, gift cards and more. You’re provided with a hand-held scanner and every time you shop, you’ll use the scanner to scan the barcodes on your purchases. Then once a week, you’ll send them your purchase information. I’ve heard quite a few different opinions about NCP, on the down side it can be time consuming but on the plus side I’ve always heard they offer generous rewards and it gets rave reviews from their members.  Sign up free here to see if they have openings in your area and no landline is required for sign up. :

Harps Deals 4/25-5/1 (Hot Pockets Only $1.00 and more)

This post may contain affiliate links. Read the full disclosure.

by

Here are this week’s deals at Harps along with coupon matchups.

Harps has now added the Joplin store to their website & they are now set up to accept Digital coupons for the Joplin store. The Joplin store doubles coupons up to and including $0.50, so I will be including doubling scenarios in my post.

A note about the Digital Coupons. Usually, the coupons are loaded onto a shopper’s card and then redeemed at checkout. These are a little different than other digital coupons I’ve seen. To utilize Harps’ digital coupons, you’ll need to register on their site HERE, create an account along with a 10 digit coupon id number and a 4 digit pin number. Then you can add the coupons you’d like and when you checkout, give the cashier the 10 digit code and the coupons automatically deduct at checkout. Interesting, huh? 🙂

Also, keep in mind, prices and selection will vary by store, so check your local Harps ad HERE.
