I just got this notification which may be useful for all of you who use Quickbooks or are thinking of getting an accounting software for 2009. Starting tomorrow only, Monday December 22, 2008, Staples is offering a deal where you can essential get Quickbooks Pro 2009 for free as shown with this ad that was sent out:
As you can see, based on the ad there is a $159.99 mail in rebate as well as a $40.00 instant store rebate. The product normally does cost about $199.99 and so this would make it almost free. I say almost because you are still going to have to pay taxes on it. But still, it sounds like a great deal.
One point of note is that this should work for US residents. I’m not too sure if it will work for Canadian residents as well.
