With my price elasticity, I'll use coupons / rebates anyway given my infinitesimally small impact on the overall earnings. Not unlike holding KO and BRKB yet using Coke coupons and redeeming MyCokeReward points. As an individual consumer, I have no impact on a multi-national (but can definitely benefit ;)).

We also use serious coupons/rebates, but we try and allocate savings to travel meal fund which allows us to have meals beyond what we would have normally...

I don't. Have a new MBP, a Dell desktop, and a Dell Mini 10v on order (AX points).

My bad -- I guess I got confused w/another B:rolleyes:Xer who mentioned having an Acer.:rolleyes:

How many AX points did you need for the Dell Mini?

There are a couple of curling clubs in the Chicago area. Unfortunately, they're not too cheap.

Everything goes into the "General Fund" here, which helps preserve current level of retirement contributions.

There's a number of us (including me) with the Acer AspireOne netbooks. My desktop is also an Acer with a nice wide-screen monitor as seen in the beeramid photo. I don't know anyone offhand with a modern Acer laptop.
