<p>$20 Rebate through Heineken USA. Found rebate forms on the beer cooler at our local Stop & Shop. Cover says $20 rebate with $70 worth of groceries and 2 twelve-packs of Heineken/Amstel Light. BUT…in the fine print, the following states only, NO BEER PURCHASE REQUIRED. So Heineken is essentially rebating you $20 for buying groceries. States = AL, AR, CT, HI, KY, ME, MO, NC, NJ, NY, PA, UT, WV.</p>
<p>Got a similar $15 rebate last spring from Heineken with no beer purchase.</p>
<p>I have discovered that I really like McDonald’s coffee. More than D 'n D, more than Starbucks. It’s just terrific straight up black in the afternoon. Along with the ice cream cone. The coffee is a buck for any size (I get a small). The ice cream cone is $1.50. :)</p>
<p>Hot tip–if you are 55 or older, you qualify for a SR coffee at McD, which is slightly cheaper. It was 35 cents but has crept up along with everything else, but still <$1.</p>

<p>There is a separate thread on AARP and the discounts/membership benefits. I was ambivalent about renewing my membership as I really don’t use it and am not enamoured by their politics and stupid resistence to having older adults driving skills re-evaluated, but I found that by buying $15 worth of “stuff” at Walgreens, I got a free one year renewal on AARP. Problem solved!</p>
<p>I didn’t know that they were against having drivers reevaluated.</p>
<p>I was having problems driving at night, even with new glasses and finally got around to speaking to my eye doctor about it last two years ago. He suggested that I get night driving glasses with a prescription that was a quarter point less than my normal distance prescription and a yellow night coating. I was thinking of decreasing my night-time driving but the new glasses gave me back my sharp vision at night.</p>
<p>At my last eye exam at the registry I tried the test without my glasses and barely passed. I didn’t want the driving restriction. I will definitely have to use glasses at my next test.</p>
<p>I understand that driving skill are different but the concept is the same. Stuff happens as you get older and that stuff can be dangerous to others.</p>
<p>Laws change too - I try to keep up with them in the news but going through the state’s driver ed book every five to ten years isn’t a bad idea.</p>
<p>The AARP would favor re-testing everyone, but not singling out older drivers</p>
<p>That’s fantastic about the night driving glasses BCEagle. I will need some of those soon, I think. So far I can pass the driving eye test without my glasses, but I think my days are numbered on that as well.</p>
<p>I have severe eye problems, both with seeing far and near. I have had mono-vision contacts (one eye seeing far, the other close) for four years now, but now the reading eye is SO bad that I have gone to the bi-focal lens for just the one eye. It allows me clear vision while driving in both eyes, yet I can read with just the one lens.</p>
<p>I bought a batch of Apple stock last month. I have made over $60/share in just a couple of weeks!</p>
<p>Thanks for the tip archiemom. I will be back home in CT in 2 weeks, will look for the coupon.</p>
<p>6pm.com has some great clearance on sandals right now- be sure to go through ebates too!!! I like that you can search specifically for your size, brand, color, etc. to find what they have available!</p>
<p>^^^HImom, just a year away from the really great deal on McD’s coffee!</p>
<p>I got an awesome North Face Fleece deal today on 6pm.com</p>
<p>Women’s Khumbu fleece (300 weight) for around $42.00 plus free shipping. I love this fleece. I’ve had one Khumbu fleece for 3 or 4 years now and it’s still in great shape. It’s very warm and cozy and IMO–looks much better than the Denali model. When I saw this model at this incredibly low price, I decided to buy a new one in blue.</p>
<p>I highly recommend the North Face Khumbu women’s fleece. This price is excellent!!!</p>
<p>Is that fleece still available, nysmile? If so could you post a link?</p>
<p>Oops, right after posting that I found it:

<p>Yikes I’m thinking about getting one of those North Face jackets! Wish I knew if I should go with medium or large - don’t like things skin tight but don’t like it too loose either (or too long - I’m fussy!!!) </p>
<p>Trying to decide on a color…</p>
<p>(thanks for sharing!)</p>
<p>abasket, you could CALL North Face and ask customer service if the particular jacket you’re considering runs large, small or true to size to help you in your consideration. I did that when I was considering a Columbia jacket & the agent was MOST helpful–the size I got was PERFECT (didn’t want to buy & have to exchange for different size).</p>
<p>You can also read reviews of the jacket, to see how others felt about its fit.</p>

<p>Wait until you will see the requirements to renew your CCRP (College Confidential Registered Poster) membership when it lapses after ten years. I heard it will be brutal. Something about posting a before and after CC picture!</p>
<p>PS Did not come here for fun and games only. I am planning to buy my dad one of them spiffy Ultrabooks for his birthday. Can’t buy him a Mac as he would send it back to San Francisco. Come to think about it, that is one way to take a look at the Air Whatever from the Cupertino geniuses. Let your good tips for the best buy roll in!</p>
<p>No, xiggi, no pictures that I’ve heard. However the moderators will want a writing sample, a resume of your ECs for the past 10 years (CC doesn’t count) and then will do a “holistic” admission process based on how many more people they need on the parent forum vs cafe.
As to the mac air–my D introduced me the other day and I’m truly enamored except for the price…</p>
<p>
I thought it required a mandatory purchase of the cc thong [CC</a> Undies : College Confidential Shop](<a href=“http://www.cafepress.com/collegeconf/3806416]CC”>CC Undies : College Confidential Shop)</p>
