Les Bonnes Choses

I just realized now: I have never, in my entire life, received a manufacturer's rebate cheque, though I have sent away for a few. The Ontario government also owes me money for some kind of energy efficiency tax rebate, though in their defense, I was about 4 years late in submitting the form, so maybe that program has since expired. Still, I'm a bit embittered about the rebates thing. Problem is, it's been long enough that I no longer recall what companies owe me rebates. The lesson here is to just cost your purchases at the full price. Don't even bother with the rebate, as it may just end up costing you more in postage.
