In keeping with the theme of my previous post regarding Kroger’s stimulus promotion, I wanted to go ahead and make a list of the current available stimulus related offerings out there. However, since I am an avid blog reader, I thought I would make the list and the provide related references to some of my favorite blogger sites. Granted, the information could be found just reading one of the blogs that lists all of them out there, but there is plenty of additional relative information in the blog comments as well. There is also knowledge to be gained from reading about how different are reacting to the influx of “found money”. The first list below has the retailer that is offering the promotion So here goes, in no specific order:
