Pair of Mororola FRS50's for $30 after MIR @ Staples

[buybye]

Staples 9/2 ad shows the Motorola FRS50 2-pack on sale for $49.98. There is a Motorola rebate of $20 good only until 9/3/01. I can't find them on their website at all so this must be a B&M deal only.

$49.99 - $20 = 29.99 maybe less if you have in an-store coupon to use. (Sorry, I don't have one.)

Rebate can be found here.

I wonder how these compare against the Cobra FRS110's for $45/pair or my Panasonic KX-TR320F's?

I think the panasonic is the best deal out of all of them. Here is a webpage with some reviews. Some are older but the models are covered. The fr50 does not have the privacy channels which help in crowded areas and the panasonic is loaded with features (although cost more). Here is my deal that I did.

Item(s) Subtotal: $119.76
Shipping & Handling: $ 5.55
Promotional Certificates: -$ 15.00 - can be found on coupon sites

Total Before Tax:
Estimated Tax:

Grand Total for This Order $110.31

Then there is a $30 rebate for each -$60

Total Cost $50.31

Only $20 more and a heck of alot more features!
