Just a friendly reminder. If you’re doing the Butterball turkey $5 rebate (mail in your Butterball receipt to receive $5 in Butterball coupons) please make sure you mail it to Butterball… and not to me!

Hey, JC Penney… let Kohl’s show you how it’s done!
Every time I read about JC Penney’s CEO’s no-coupons stance (which has translated into massive sales losses this year for JCP too) it has the perhaps-unintended result of motivating me to patronize other department stores that do offer coupons.
