A Simple Way for a Caregiver to Save Money

We ran across The Caregiver’s Marketplace a while back and wondered if it was worth the effort. After looking into it, I think that depending upon your financial situation, it could very well be a help to the everyday household budget.
The Caregiver’s Marketplace is a rebate program for a good number of products that you may find yourself buying on a regular basis if you’re a senior, or a caregiver. Many of them are routinely purchased items like Benzodent, Citrucel, Comfort Bath, Depend, Ensure, Glucerna, Kaopectate, Oscal and Poise.
The way The Caregiver’s Marketplace works is that when you buy five, or more, products that are part of the program, you can send the receipts with the rebate form and get anywhere from 25 cents to $2.00 back per item you purchased. Most of the rebates look to be 75 cents and $1.00. The important thing to note here is that if you purchase fifty Ensure six packs in a year, that’s $50 back. There appears to be no limit to how many rebates you, as an individual, can get.
The obvious strategy here is to put the rebate form, that you can download from their site, and the weekly receipts (with the eligible items circled) in an envelope. Periodically send in for your rebates. You may decide to do it every time you have five plus items, or once a month/quarter, or whatever is most convenient for you.
Most of the products are for seniors, but there are a number of products for babies as well. So if you’re a caregiver for two generations, you may be able to save even more.
