The gF and I together addressed some 5,000+ envelopes and sent them off. We both hate McDonalds food, so we sold the stamps for free food for $10 per 100 of a kind (i.e. 100 winners good for a free sandwhich) to friends and we made daily runs on Best Buy for shit to cash in the Best Buy Bucks. The killer was we got rebate checks on all kinds of shit and those more than paid for the postage and supplies, and we now have a lifetime supply of hard drives and other computer items.

Boy, the people at Best Buy hated to see me or my gF coming, 'cause they knew they were gonna be counting for a while. Hell, I even did that shit on the day after Thanksgiving and held up the line.

haha, that was fucking fun.
