Happy Black Friday!
I've found a couple of freebies with all of the Black Friday deals. The most notable is that Office Depot is giving away at least 14 items of software that are
Free After Rebate. I purchased McAfee Total protection for 3 users. The rebates do not cover sales tax, so you may end up paying around $5 for each item. My rebate receipt states that the item must be purchased between 11/21 and 11/27.
On Staples' ads I also found free after rebate photo paper 8.5 x 11 pack of 50 and 4 items of free software after rebate.
And for the disappointing news: I've seen offers that are similar to Free After Rebate deals, but you don't actually get the rebate. Walgreens used to be awesome at giving away items after rebate. Not anymore. Now they offer store credit for every dollar you spend on certain items. So it's kinda like saying, buy these items and you get the same value of other items in the store for free, or a buy-one-get-a-different-one free type of deal. This could still be a good for those who are interested in these products. However, its not free :(
Happy Black Friday, Happy Freebie Hunting, Happy belated Thanksgiving, and Happy Holidays in the months to come.
