Don't read this, deal is dead:(
Edit: Geico has stopped this promotion. Sorry about that:(
I like meat. I like burgers and I especially like Omaha steak burgers. If you like them too, you can get 20 of them delivered to your door for $1.98. That's one dollar and ninety eight cents!
It's a bit complicated but well worth it. Here's what you do:
1) Go to this link
http://www.geicoprivileges.com/members/home.php?sid=26X...
to sign up for the Geico website. You do NOT have to have Geico, you do NOT have to switch any of your insurance. It just gives you a username for their website, and they will email you within an hour or so with a link to a gift card code. Check your spam folder if you don't get the email after two hours or so. The gift card number is really long, so double check when you write it down.
2) Go to this link http://www.shareomahasteaks.com/k/HFtSMYsaHS8AEYMJBCMHD...
and type in your email address. They will send you an email confirmation right away, and there is a link within the email to start shopping. After you get your gift card code from step one, use that link to order the hamburgers (described below) and it will automatically give you 12 free 4 ounce burgers. The 12 free won't show up in your cart until you check out, so don't panic.
3) When you get your gift card code and go to the link through the step two link, you'll be at the Omaha Steaks website. In the left hand sidebar, click on the link for "burgers/brats" etc. Scroll down until you see the option for "eight 5 ounce steak burgers" for 12.99. Add that to your cart, then checkout. (Note: apparently the $12.99 option doesn't work for everyone, if you get through the next step and it doesn't work, go back and get the $14.99 option. It will cost you $2 more out of pocket, but you'll get that much more meat.)
4) At checkout, you enter your address etc and you should see the 12.99 burgers, plus the 12 free burgers you got from doing step 2 above. At the point where they ask for payment, you'll see that they add in about $13 for shipping - don't worry, your gift card code will cover that. Before you enter your credit card (or paypal - one of the payment options is "pay by paypal" if that is easier for you), enter your gift card code and hit "apply" or whatever the button says next to that. That should take your total down to roughly $1.98. Then enter your actual payment method and you will only be charged $1.98 (it may be a few cents more or less depending on your address, it was $1.98 for me)
5) Complete the transaction. In a few days you'll be getting a cooler shipment of 5.5 pounds of Steak burgers, which works out to ONLY 36 CENTS A POUND!
That is a rad deal for ground beef.
It seems more complicated a process than it is - start to finish it only took me a few minutes to do it. It did take about 2 hours for me to recieve my gift code.
Thanks to my blogging friend Catherine for helping figure out this deal!

What blogs do you go to and get all of your information - like this omaha steaks thing??
I only do Wal-mart if I have coupons that are over .60 - might as well get the cheapest price and use the coupon there since Kroger and Brookshire's won't double or triple over .60
KAYDEE, I'm ahead of you. I do a lot of shopping around the holidays for that very reason. And we just set up a bake day date at work for the 13th of December so I will shop for that too. I do all the shopping and mixing and baking since I'm the one with all the equipment (not to mention who really likes to do it) and the rest pay for the supplies and help with other parts like decorating supplies and lunch! Last year was our first one with a group and it was fun but we over-extended ourselves and it went on too long. This year we will be wiser and lessen the time required to finish things and enjoy the cookie decorating event! I'm already excited. :)
I love holiday sales too. So much of it has a good shelf life or can be lengthened with freezing. Holiday sales are made for bakers who want to stockpile...and you other folks who like to bake for holidays. LOL
We got a certificate for $500 in FREE GAS just for test driving a car. When we checked out the claim process online it was extremely complex. That wasn't what stopped us, though. The red flags came up when the mice type basically gave them permission to give our info to everyone out there to market to us by mail, email, phone or whatever means they wanted! We've worked too hard to get OFF lists where they bug the cr*p out of us with sales pitches, so NO DEAL on that one. We will just have to find other ways to save $$$.
