Getting paid to eat!

This is kinda funny -- I had a coupon for a free DiGiorno flatbread melt and thought I should redeem it before it expired on 7/18/09. On the freezer case there was a blinkie -- containing refund forms for the full purchase price of -- you guessed it -- DiGiorno flatbread melts. To make things more interesting, the deal expired today!

So I bought the flatbread melt using my coupon and dashed home and sent for the rebate. Later on I ate it -- and was very disappointed in both the quality and quantity. This was surprising, since their pizzas are very good. Can't complain too much, after all, they were paying me to take it!

This has not been a terribly productive week. I've sent in some rebates and did some online surveys -- which don't count until I've actually recieved the $. Anyhow, this is it:
