I just got $135 in rebates from Dell and Intuit. I was expecting $135. I really can't recall being shafted by a rebate offer...maybe I don't buy enough?

I/we grocery shop at any of four stores, three chains and one local place, depending upon the prices in their ads - and will travel from one to another to get the deals. 'Course, herself likes grocery shopping. We have little cards from two of them, and get the "you have saved $0.00 today" on the sales slip, but don't pay much attention. The one deal that we do like is that one of the stores (part of one of the Kroger chains) also gives a small cut to the local school based upon our purchases...but that's not likely to get us to buy there if something is cheaper elsewhere.

I guess that if you make your purchases based upon rebates rather than on quality.....
