[N. Theknow]

When we lived in Connecticut, we knew several people who bought soda, beer, etc. in Rhode Island and redeemed the empties in Connecticut.

My next door neighbor used to drink a case of Michelob a day bought in RI with no deposit and redeemed in CT or MA for the nickles.

Said he got about 30 free cases of beer a year doing it.

A case a day? When did he find time to redeem them?

He drank a case of beer a day and still was able to drive? Who's your neighbor? Billy Carter?

Considering that there is a free donut in every bottle of Michelob, your neighbor must be a fat bastard.

This scam only works if you have a free Postal Service truck to transport the cans. Otherwise it’s not cost effective.
