Of course, it would help if I knew what brand it is. I called but they wouldn't tell me. Anyone been down there yet today? Here's what the ad says: 12x write 10x rewrite 32x read Features "Burn Proof" Technology $129.99 No Rebate Required #2964375 Limit 1 per customer. Possible...

Healey, how small are your kids? Unless they're like teenagers, you should NEVER leave them alone in the car, even for a second, sunshades or not...Think what could happen, especially in LA!

It says it's a contest, genius, not a free giveaway. How much do you make off of the referrals? Why don't we post up state lotteries too?

I can't complain about this thread, if some found it educational, then it was worth it. Nowhere does it say they reject legitimate claims, only that their competitive advantage is that they have sophisticated means of eliminating duplicates in rebate replies. Nothing illegal or immoral about...

Restaurant supply stores have always been the best places to get commercial quality cookware for K*Mart prices. Good stuff, all of them. Nice find. However, you know it's impossible to duplicate restaurant wok cooking at home, equipment aside, it's all about the heat.

This is the same as those deals with the sunglasses that take out the 2-page ads in Car & Driver. Your price is free + jacked up shipping. These glasses cost about $1 apiece wholesale. Not that they're anything bad, nothing wrong with cheap sunglasses. (I think there's a song about...

I always wondered, why the heck is Jos. A. Banks short for "Joseph"? Shouldn't it be J. A. Banks? We don't call people... Michael J. Fox, we don't call him Mic. J. Fox Jerry Seinfeld, we don't call him Jer. Seinfeld Brad Pitt,, we don't call him Bra. Pitt!!! What's the deal?

It says its a contest, the rules say to the first 2000, but after I registered, it said I would be getting my lite in 2-4 weeks. Link to Maglite Promo: Link

It's their stupid policy. I've tried to argue it with them. They say BB & CompUSA are not competitors since they're not "office products stores". I say anyone who sells the same product as you is a competitor, but ok. Just reinforces the fact that OM/OD/Staples are just in the...

<< Restaurants are risky businesses (correct us CR?). When restaurants go under, great deals are available. For example, we bought a $500 (40,000 btu) restaurant gas grill at auction for $100 -- which we installed in-doors, replacing our outdoor gas grill. >> Yes, yes, YES! I got my...

<< Ribbet, then how DO you wash a cast iron pan or skillet, if you don't use soap? How do you get it clean? >> Once pan is well seasoned and has been used... To clean after use: 1. Heat pan to warm-hot, if not already (easiest to clean right after using). 2. Pour rough Kosher Salt &amp...

<< After trying many different materials/coatings/weights, what remains in our kitchen is cast iron: >> What do you think the two grill pans I have already are made out of? :D Seriously, it's finally nice to hit upon topic I can help the board out on. I would never go all cast-iron in my...

The problem is that all of you are getting caught up on the SURFACE. That's what most advertising emphasizes, and that's because it's cheap when compared to the cost of really constructing a good pan. MATERIAL is what's most important. The cost of this pan comes from the pan materials, both...

<< There's a great sushi place in Toronto call Japan Deli. On Mondays, everything is a BUCK!!! CANADIAN!!! It's located a block west of Yonge and a block south of Bloor, for any TO residing ATF homies. >> I'm as cheap as they come, but sushi is one thing I don't bargain shop for. Did it...

This is an EXCELLENT, HOT deal.. I paid $169 for Lucent Wavelan 802.11b cards (same thing) You didn't mention that this is an 802.11b card. That's CRUCIAL! That means it's not that &quot;wireless Home Networking&quot; junk that CompUSA usually sells, this is a genuine piece of equipment...
