I won't buy a product with a rebate unless it's worth my time (i.e. more than $10 or $20), and even then, I usually curse myself for buying the product when I'm cutting out the upc code, filling out the forms, making copies, etc. ~ Steve Hi Mitch,

I hate rebates with a passion, and usually buy something without thinking about the rebate because, unfortunately, it's usually something I really want. The other stuff,... well, I'll take it, but I don't have to like it, right? lol I’ll take the easy way out and say you’ve hit a couple of my gripes right on the nose.

Regarding free supermarket food samples, I know people that go to Costco at lunchtime and make a lunch out of walking around and eating the free samples. @RT, I'm quite curious but I'm trying to swear off this "biosolids waste" thing. Your mention of Mt. Smoky reminds me that I had a cat named Smoky when I was a kid. And that reminds me that all the cats in the neighborhood seem to use my garden as their litterbox. Damn! It always comes back to biosolids and waste! Curses! ~ Steve @Cath, Thanks for stopping by.

Few things are really free. And whenever anyone offers you something for free, you start to wondering what they're after from you. I think it's even worse when folk give you free samples of food in supermarkets, in the hope you'll get addicted to it. Steve – This is so true. Few things are really free.
