April 17, 2008 | Quick Tips, Groceries
My love for The Consumerist cannot be adequately described, so I’ll just refer you to this informative and hilarious post wherein they let us know that Kroger is offering a 10% bonus on federal stimulus checks converted to Kroger gift cards.
Hey, you’re buying groceries anyway… why not make a little extra?

Eww–keep your hands to yourself, Kroger!

esc (on the keyboard) = escape
escape = escape from debt!
Folks also need to remember that if you filed your taxes electronically and received a refund via the same method, then you will receive your economic stimulus check electronically; i.e., the money will be electronically deposited in your checking account. So, the Kroger (and other businesses who do the same thing such as Sears) thing may not work.
