Hi again. After I returned from BB the first time and reread this thread, I called another BB that was a little further way from me. I read off the product number to the guy in the computer dept and he said that the price was marked at $49.97 on the shelf tag, but they didn't have any more in stock. I then hopped back in my car and headed down to the first BB because they had 4 sitting on the shelf (I thought that they had 4). I was all prepared to have the CSR call the other store to verify the price and when I got there, I noticed that the combo that they had in the store was called something different. I can't even remember the name of it now, but it had the same contents in a slightly different box, with a different product number and name.
Anyway.. I headed out to yet another BB (inbetween the first BB and the one that I called) and found one sitting on the shelf right next to the $49.97 price tag. It was the last one and it had been opened, but all that I really wanted was to buy it, so I could go down the road with the receipt and PM to the CUSA, so I could get the rebate on top of the price. I got up to the checkout after waiting in a long line (I thought everybody went back to school already?) and it rang up $99.99. The cashier said that he would have to verify this considering that it was half price, so instead of waiting for someone in the computer dept to verify the price, I offered to just go grab the shelf tag. After I handed the cashier the shelf tage, he then reluctantly rang it up at the reduced price and I was out of there. Finally. The guy said that it was a great deal. Heh.. Tell me something that I don't already know. What bugged me about this male cashier was that he was wearing makeup. Freak! How does he get away with that being a BB employee? It was only foundation, but still.
Well.. I headed down the road to CUSA, grabbed a LCFOK off the shelf and headed up to the register. The CSR was sort of an as* and gave me a lot of cr*p. He also made a couple of trips back and forth between the managers office. He finally got approval to give it to me at the $49.97 price. He said that he doesn't regularly do this when there is a rebate involved. Whatever..
So.. I got my $49.97 - $30 MIR rebate = $19.97 + tax LCFOK&M (Logitech Cordless Freedom Optical Keyboard and mouse). It was the toughest deal that I've done in quite some time, but it was definitely worth it.
Yippee!! Thanks so much for posting this!! I had purchased this Keyboard and mouse combo last year for nearly full price and ended up taking it back because I didn't think it was quite worth it, but at this price, it's certainly worth it. It's even a great deal at $49.97! H*ll.. The mouse alone is that much $$.

PS.. Now, if I only had a scanner, I'd scan my receipt. Sorry..
