Uncle Sam wants you to spend it. Wal-Mart wants you to spend it. Your local shop owner wants you to spend it. Checks started rolling out this week as a part of the Economic Stimulus Package, aimed at pumping billions into the US economy. If you do decide to take your money all the way to the mall instead of stashing it in savings, there are some stores pining for a piece of your pie. Here are a few deals.

Grocery stores: You pretty much have to spend money at the grocery store anyway, so why not use your stimulus check on food? At Albertson’s, for every $300 in rebate checks that you turn over for gift cards, you’ll get a $30 bonus. Kroger, Shop ‘n Save, Food Lion, Jewel-Osco and Fry’s Food are offering similar perks, with most offering the 10% over your check total.

Radio Shack: This is a good option for anyone hoping to do their part to stimulate the economy by purchasing some gadgets. Head to Radio Shack with your check and you’ll get 10% off any purchase of $50 or more.

Sears: Sears plans to give customers an extra 10% when you exchange your rebate check in for a Sears gift card. That means, if your rebate check is worth $1200, you’ll get a gift card with $1320 on it in return. Since Sears owns Kmart and Lands’ End, you can also use the gift card there. This is definitely a good option for those looking to buy a big ticket item like a washing machine or a riding lawnmower.

Staples: The company launched an Economic Stimulus Center on their website, complete with coupons, a daily sweepstakes and tax tips.

Wal-Mart: Take your stimulus check to Wal-Mart and they’ll turn it into cash for free. They’re offering to cash stimulus checks for free, a service that normally sets you back a few bucks. No purchase is required to take advantage.
