Some of ya’ll have already received the Economic Stimulus check, and are ready to either buy stuff or pay off debt. For those of you who don’t know, US government made the 2008 economic stimulus package, which alloted 152 billion dollars worth of rebates to tax payers.

Needless to say, many company are very anxious to get a hold of your rebate check.

• Kroger, Albertsons and SuperValu are offering 10% bonuses (check your local store for info).

• Staples has launched the Economic Stimulus Center. This will give consumers even more discounts, hence more incentive to buy!
• RadioShack is offering 10% deductions on purchases of $50 or more.
