I learn this word form my husband and his friend. They always like to mention FAR FAR and FAR. so, finally one day i found out from them what is FAR. FAR mean Free After Rebate. In US, there is this custom that some shop will offer some FAR items which mean you pay first to buy the thing, get the receipt and then send the rebate together with the bar-code (Serial Number) that you cut out from the box to the rebate center (different product has different rebate center) and then wait for 8-12 weeks to get back the rebate check from the company. I still don't understand why they want to this. Maybe they want to used the money to do other stuff first, or they want to clear the old stock and hope for some people that didn't send in the rebate or etc. Actually the are some certain rules that you need to follow in order to fullfill the requirement to get back the rebate. So, if you do not read carefully on the rebate rule, you might lose your rebate. beware. We brought a lot of stuff from Fry's Electronic at last year Thanksgiving and heard from my husband, almost all the rebate he got back now. So, lots of items is already "officially" free now.

My husband and his friend like to buy FAR stuff from RiteAids (RA) since they said the rebate is the most easiest one and no need to send in anything. Just submit online and you gurantee will get back the money. So, since then, they always go to RA and get all the FAR stuff as long as it is available. We end up had a lot of free tooth brush, tooth paste, shampoo, conditional, hair gel and etc. really a very good deal. So, next time if you ever come to relo to US, better look for where is the RA shop and remember to shop for the FAR stuff. hehe
