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.

Right you are with the slow build up. I took that into account where I installed them. In order to reduce as much electricity, I figured these ought to be put in places that tend to get left on longer than lights in other areas.

got the check today from Lowes

My check arrived today, so the bulbs cost me one stamp. :cool: |
I'm still waiting. I hate rebates. :( :thumbdown:
|
I'm shocked...SHOCKED!!!!
I just got my rebate today! I thought they forgot about me! Magic does happen! :eek:
OK, it was just $15.96, but still...:rolleyes: |
menards has 13w sylvania soft white compact florescent bulbs for $2 each, no rebates (normally $5 each). I like the light color on these (3000 K color temp), a coworker has some 13w feit electrics that put off a pale blueish color :thumbdown: , but these sylvanias are closer to incandescent bulbs :thumbup: . They are on sale thru march 11 I think.
