Wrapped Up IN Receipts

Posted in Saving Us Money at 7:06 am by lilbitgabby

I’m wondering what I was thinking when I finally agreed to do this…

So Connie calls Lisa and tells her about this crazy rebate offer to get a free notebook.  First you buy a PC at Staples, along 15 or 16 software programs… programs that, by the way, you’ll NOT be installing onto your new computer… Oh, and be sure to ask the sales person to install a new roll of print out tape, because believe me… he’s going to need it.

Anyway, Lisa told me about this and I was like… I’m not so sure. But then the adventurous side of me kicked into high gear. Okay. Soooooo…. what was I thinking? Free computer. That’s exactly what I was thinking.

A couple of the rebates expire today. If I understand this correctly, I have a few days to get them into the mail. But I’m working at getting these all done today.

Right in the article, it says to allow half a day to fill out the rebate forms. If I heard her correctly, it took Connie about 4.5 to 5 hours to get them all filled out! Really… what was I thinking when I signed up for this. Oh yeah. Free computer…
