(First of all, I hope it's okay that I'm posting this. I just wanted to share a deal I found with some people who might like it, not advertise. I apologize if this is wrong to do!)
I just want to let everyone know that my local Barnes and Noble had a book,
The Calorie Counter for Dummies, running for $7.99 ($7.17 with B&N membership).
They also have a
$5 rebate that you can pick up (or just print out, I would guess) for any Dummies book that costs more than $6.99. This is good until April 30, 2010.
AND on the last page of The Calorie Counter for Dummies, there's a page you can tear out and mail in for a $3 rebate on top of this. So when it's all said and done, the book is free. I THINK the rebates stack. There's nothing on the rebates that say they can't be used with other rebates. Just be sure to check the 'expiration' dates on them.
As for the book itself, it's a nice little tool that, for the most part, lists the calories of foods at chain restaurants. So if you eat out a lot, it's not bad to have. There is calorie listings of some common foods around the house, but the real bulk of it is the restaurant information.
