Breaking even on the laptop
And we’ve broken even! All but 2 of my rebates have been received by the rebate folks (the 2 that I just mailed in earlier this week). Of those 56 rebates, 48 of them are in “valid” stages, which from my experience means that the check is definitely in the mail. Of the 58 rebates,…

More free laptop
Yes folks it’s time for some laptop updates. I have now sent in all 58 rebates (I sent the last 2 in today). Because I mailed them in a few chunks, some of them have made it to the processing center, while some are still being “processed”. It’s odd in some regards because in some…

In which Kroger tries to screw me, part 2
Went to the store last night, and one of the items on the list was cottage cheese. Get back to the dairy section and voila, big sign saying Kroger Sour Cream, Dips, and Cottage Cheese, 16 oz, 4/$5. But there’s no cottage cheese in that display. So I go over to the main area where…

Are you ready for some football!!!?!?
I’m not. Well, I mean I guess I am. But not quite like I have been in previous years. I’ve always enjoyed football, and the past few years have spent most Sundays watching several games while following along with my fantasy teams. But, after a recent lesson on keeping the Sabbath Day holy, and some…

Free Laptop part 2
My co-worker Kerry (not to be confused with my sister Kerry) and I spent some time at lunch today filling out rebates. We got 13 of them done and mailed off, so coupled with the 7 easy rebates I already did, that’s 20 down (and 39 more to go)

Bearcat football game
I went down to a UC football game last night. It was a lot of fun. Originally I thought that this was the first college game that I’ve been to since I was in the band, but upon further review, I think that I went to a game or two with Carolyn, but still, it’s…

Doctor Doctor!
So a few weeks ago I got some poison ivy. It was bad times. I got it on a Wednesday, and by Friday it was starting to show. Over the weekend we figured out it was poison ivy, and by that time I figured I would call the doctor first thing Monday morning to get…

Free Laptop, Step 1
So today I started getting things going on my free laptop deal. 7 (I think it was 7) of the rebates are Staples easy rebates. Those can just be filled out online, so I got that going. In talking to some people, I did get one friend of mine that did the deal. He ended…

What’s better than a free laptop?
Why, getting paid to take a laptop of course. Those of you who have followed along my crazy adventures in coupon land know that is my mantra. So recently while browsing around online, I came across two threads talking about how you could make money buying a laptop. Visit those threads (especially the first one)…
