FREE 13w florescent light bulbs
I went to Lowes and lunch and came across a 4 pack of 13w lightbulbs that were free after rebate limit 2 per family.
I figure that is 8 bulbs for the price of a stamp. Not too shabby. Check it out if you get the chance. |
Fo sheez? Do you know how long the offer is good for?

Thanks for the additional information, I really ought to get around to this.

Don't forget to print a copy of your receipt and rebate, these mail ins rarely pay off at best buy and circuit city, don't know about home depot.

But I can imaging 3 possible reasons why they do it this way instead. Firstly , people love thinking that they are getting something for free. Cheap is good , but free seems better. So the rebate (refund) idea may have a psycologicaly proven adavantage over just a 50% off sale. (I have no proof of this) Second . many people buy under this idea with the intention of sending in the coupon but never do. So the company has benefited from the campaign with a sale by getting the customer but didn't have to cough up the dough of the rebate. ..and my 3rd idea. Many people are dum. If you have a 50% off promotion on some product and a beatnick comes in a buys it , next time he comes he may balk at buying again because he thinks , ?if they can sell it at that price for the month , then they must be making so much profit that they should do it at that price all of the time? Rebates make the customers feel like winners., and for sales , thats a good thing., but if the rebates dont get honnored , they feel skrewd , and thats realy not a good thing. |
Locally, (Western Wisconsin), the Fleet Farm stores have an instant, in store rebate on compact flourescents, I think 14 or 27 watt, so that they end up being a dollar or two each. Not free, but a good deal, and nothing to send in. I think you have to be in areas served by certain electric companies, because they are actually paying for the cost of the rebates. I always stock up on bulbs when they have these rebates, and then can give some to relatives and friends to show them how well the bulbs work.
