Well I heard about this offer on the news and I had to share with my fellow bargain hunters!

Starting Tuesday, January 20, 2009, plan on getting to a department store early. January 20th is the date Macy’s, Dillard’s, Saks, Nordstrom and other stores will hand out free Lancome, Clinique, and other products….to end a decade long class action case. The lawsuit claims manufacturers fixed prices from 1994 to 2003.

To settle the case, they will offer women one $20 bottle of makeup, eye cream, or similar product: All you have to do is show up at a department store Tuesday. You don’t need to show a receipt….you will just have to sign a form saying you received your free jar, so that you can’t get another.

Now for the Dell Refund Offer! (Dell Computer Settlement: Partial Refunds)

Dell computer will pay more than three million dollars to 34 states. State Attorneys General said Dell engaged in “deceptive” financing promotions, promising zero-percent financing but charging them higher rates. Consumers also claim they did not receive the promised rebates and had trouble getting warranty service. Under the settlement, Dell will pay one-point-five million dollars into a special account, which will then be distributed to customers. If you bought a Dell computer between April 2005 and April 2009, and experienced a rebate, financing, or warranty repair issue, you may be eligible for a piece of the settlement.

To apply, contact your state Attorney General’s office.
