A "good" deal
is going to the store to buy something you planned in advance to buy (and must buy) and finding it on sale or at "everyday low price".
Responding to ads, coupons, phone calls and other solicitations is generally silly---with rare exceptions. The "rebate" thing CAN be good on large purchases if you follow through, but indeed it WILL test your patience to actually collect.
