Default Free Omaha Steaks

Jeez I hate stupid commercials. A furniture commercial came on and was advertising free Omaha Steaks. So pretty much, spend $900 and get free steaks.

Have any of ya'll retards fallen for stupid shit like this?

































P.S. I hate ya'll.

The whole Omaha Steak premise is stupid......."Our steaks are used by the finest restaurants....But we're willing to give 50 of them to you for only the cost of shipping"

Are you sure Omaha Steaks is who you are thinking of? Ordering stuff from them is expensive as hell, from what I have seen more expensive per pound than the same cuts bought locally.

Ranger - The only one of those offers I heard that made sense was a box of steaks for getting your windshield fixed. Insurance normally pays for fixing a windshield anyway. With this company you get a box of steaks along with it. If insurance isn't paying for the windshield it is probably a shit deal though.

My in-laws run a dairy farm. I get my steaks fresh.

I've never heard of Omaha steaks but I know around here a good Porterhouse is running about $16/lb so each steak is in the $20 range.

I don't know who does that but I doubt it is Omaha Steaks. They are expensive.

Yes they are (expensive).

They are also worth it.

I got a great coupon in the mail from them. We have a store in town. I'll be picking up my order today.
