you beat me to posting this! i was gonna do it yesterday but ran outta time. here's a way to change this from warm to HOT or at least warmer.... hehehe
as omair2005 mentioned, get the Linksys cable modem
here (sku 470056). It is $119.94 with a $20 rebate available
here.
next add in a 100 pack of Memorex 16X 80min CD-Rs available
here (SKU 453980). They are $50 with a $10 instant rebate and they provide a $5 coupon code and there is a a $10 rebate
here.. The coupon code is located on the staples site on the same page as the CD-R's.
The CD-R's and the Cable Modem push you over $150, so then just add a $30 off $150 coupon, available at many different coupon sites
so the breakdown is
+ $119.94 - Cable Modem
+ $39.94 - CD-Rs
- $5 coupon
- $30 coupon
-------------------
$124.88 out of pocket expense (free shipping on orders over $50, but dont forget they will add tax)
- $20 cable modem rebate
- $10 CD-R rebate
------------------
$94.88 in the end for Linksys cable modem and 100 Memorex CD-Rs
I will let you know that i haven't been able to get the online system to accept both coupons at the same time. however, a quick call or chat with a CSR should take care of that (the $5 coupon is given to you automatically in-store so the CSR should honor it). Or, if you can get a printable $30 off coupon, you could do the whole thing at a B&M.
