Talk about bait and switch! The Staples ad claims to offer the Western Digital 500GB My Book™ for $99.98. But when you click the link you instead see a 320GB offered for $109.98!?! The page for the 500GB (found by a search) offers that for $149.98. What a disappointment.

looks like a bad link - why not call them and have it price matched?

They need business so much that they create sales just to have one.

But the checks are coming next week.

Good thread idea. Green for OP.

The best deal of all is to do what the vast majority of us will do with our checks...

Pay down/off debt!

"But the checks are coming next week."

I wonder why stores are giving offers already since the ones (at least Statewise) that will get the FEDERAL REBATES tomorrow (and in the next few weeks) are the ones that paid their taxes / got their tax rebates ELECTRONICALLY, so they WON'T GET A PAPER CHECK to show to the stores (it'll be in their BANK ACCOUNTS). Or, like someone said in another FW thread "How does it work on people w/Direct Deposit?"...

 

Those that will get PAPER CHECKS won't get 'em for AT LEAST A MONTH, so if stores are willing to accept a MAILED-IN STATEMENT from the IRS (I don't know if that's how IRS notifies of deposit of rebates, but that's how PR's Tresaury Dept. [Departamento de Hacienda de PR] does it...), to notify them there are rebate funds in their account, that'll be another story...

On my part, AFAIK, we in PR, will be starting to get rebate funds by Memorial Day (I hope)


PS: Correct me if I'm wrong about who'll get the rebate funds first...

Hope this works with my 5% cash returns card.

Even better is the Tylenol on page 2 of the list of "deals". It says regularly $10.99, now $15.99. What a great sale!!!! (Ha ha)

Economic stimulus plan. Great idea. Give Americans money so we can go buy LCD and HDTV's built in China. Way to stimulate the Chinese economy.

Or you could buy American products if you don't want to buy items made from another country.

Best Buy, we need a stimulus bonus from you. I need a new dryer, and 10% bonus amount would be nice. No thanks, Sears. Cannot deal with their disasters, long story.
