an Ace in the Hardware

Now, this is a bit of a strange one, but Ace Hardware, yes the hardware store, actually has a pretty good rewards program. If you sign up at their store, they'll give you a handy dandy rewards card (can someone please come up with a better way) and you just scan it every time you make a purchase. The purchases give you points, etc... etc... etc... The thing is you actually get rewarded for having their card. At least every other month they are sending me coupons or 5 bucks off some purchase. Now, here's where it gets good. Ace also has a huge rebate program that's simple to use online. Most of the time the items are free or a buck. You buy those in combination with your rewards card and you are on your way to lots of great free stuff or at least cheaper stuff you need. Just make sure you sign up to receive their ad or look online each week and you'll also agree that ace is a helpful place to save some cash.
