Mail in Rebate for Junk Food

You may remember last May there was this promo. Well, it looks like there is a similar one This time you spend $20 and get a coupon booklet. In the past this has been for free products similar to what you may have just purchased.
I think I am going to wait and see if Superstore does the one where you get the $20 worth of PC gift cards.  Supposedly MIR forms will be in stores by Jan 12,2012.
Another idea might be to wait and do this on a 20X the points day as it will be almost half of your $50 purchase!
If you want to find out how people are making out with this promo you can go to Smart Canucks and read the forum here.

Update on phone system. Awhile ago I told you we got a Magic Jack Phone system. Let me update you on how that's going. First of all the disadvantage to you(and me)is that your phone number(even though it's the right area code)will not have the correct prefix for your local friends and family to call you locally. Calling me is long distance for people in my area. Solution: we kept our Vonage account(which we are quite happy with)but downgraded it. Our new plan is $19.95/month and is 500 minutes long distance unlimited incoming calls and all the calling features you could want.(If we go over the 500 minutes it costs 4.9cents/min). We were paying for the premium unlimited service. Now we have 2 phone lines, have I mentioned we have a teenager? We use the Magic Jack to do all our long distance and Vonage(if you are interested in trying Vonage let me know and I'll send you an invite which will get you a free month service to try it out.) for all else.Savings?$100.05 this year and $160.76 next year if we just go year by year. Kind of nice as our home insurance went up $152.04!!this year.
