BILL HEMMER, CNN ANCHOR: Millions of Americans across the country getting a bit of lift from Washington in the form of tax rebates today. But what will they do with it? Jeff Flock now with some pulse of what people are saying, outside of Chicago -- Jeff?</s>JEFF FLOCK, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Bill, in Glen Ellyn, Illinois in Wal-Mart -- this is one of the stores along with Sam's Club and others that offer to cash those checks free for you, although they report today, no takers so far. This of course has been the first day the checks have been hitting the mailboxes. And I do want to quickly ask, what are you going to do with it?</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Well, I'm in the very last lot. Thank you for my very long Social Security number. So I won't get mine until September, I believe. But we're in the process of purchasing a new home, so I'm going to save it for mad money, for window treatments or for a new dining room table. Whatever new place might kind of give us a show for.</s>FLOCK: This will be new spending for you, then? That's good. Bill, we want to get a sense if this is new spending or stuff that is spoken for. Now, you have a massive cart here, don't you? You are already buying a lot of stuff. Did you get your check yet?</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: No, I have not.</s>FLOCK: What are you going to do with it? Pay off the stuff you are buying here?</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Yes. I'm waiting until it comes. I'm going to stay right here.</s>FLOCK: Do you suspect you'll have new spending or just stuff you needed to buy, anyway?</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Towards stuff we need to buy, anyway.</s>FLOCK: OK, so Bill, a little bit of both tonight, as people start to get that money and start to put it back in the economy. Back to you.</s>HEMMER: You got it, watch the mailbox. Jeff Flock live for us this evening. Thank you.
