Had to laugh at the rebates issue cause that's the first thing I do when I buy something with a rebate. I try the item out and if it ok then I immediately fill out the form, cut the UPC code out, and mail everything needed for the rebate!
Heck, I even clip grocery coupons and use them. I get a little perturbed at myself when I go to buy something and I know I have forgotten the coupon at home.
Just a cheap skate at heart......
