You Just Found a $50 Bill. Quick, What Will You Buy?

[ProudLib72]

I'm going to the consignment store and find some rad new clothes!

[RandySF]

1. Not much these days.

[ProudLib72]

3. Come on, dude, you can come up with something

Like a baby tRump balloon!

[unblock]

2. Two $20s and a tenner. Who uses a $50 bill?

[ProudLib72]

4. I'll give you two $20s.

That's my final offer.

[2naSalit]

27. See them all the time

in touristland... works just like a $20 anyplace else!

[applegrove]

5. I came across a bit more than that today. Two, fluffy, washable cat beds it is.

[ProudLib72]

6. I first read that as "two, fluffy, washable cat BREEDS"

[applegrove]

8. Ha! That would be one dangerous bathtime.

[LisaL]

47. Sure would be.

[MLAA]

7. Pizza!!!!!

[jberryhill]

9. Hookers and blow

[ProudLib72]

10. Don't you ever get tired of the same old thing?

Why not hookers and meth for a change?

[jberryhill]

14. The hookers are different every time

[Lochloosa]

18. Lol

[lordsummerisle]

12. Maybe if it was 1965 n/t

[jberryhill]

13. It's all about picking a place with a low cost of living

[mr_lebowski]

15. Sometimes JBH, you really grate on my friggin' nerves ...

This, however, is definitely not one of those times

[WA-03 Democrat]

33. Agree

JBH remembered the funny this time. So much better

[CentralMass]

62. You might have to add the adjective "cheap" in the front of that.

[blm]

11. Bottle of Decoy

[Laffy Kat]

16. Brunch with a friend and a couple of mimosas!

That's always a treat.

[ProudLib72]

19. I used to go to brunch at a restaurant that served bottomless mimosas

I would always tell them to just bring a carafe. Oh boy would I get snockered!

[Laffy Kat]

20. Wow. After one I pretty much have to take a nap, but I'm a lightweight.

A mimosa hang-over sounds...not good.

[TEB]

43. Do you know my wife laffykat

Sunday brunch of mimosas

[Laffy Kat]

48. It sounds like she's my kind of person!

[Lochloosa]

17. One bud.

[First Speaker]

21. Go to Barnes and Noble and order a book on some obscure, funky topic...

...an historical mystery, biography of someone who I know, but no one I've ever met has ever heard of...or maybe a Templars-discovered-America sort of book. Entertaining, but you have to keep your built-in shit detector on overload. Something cool like that...though with the new owners, God knows how long B & N will have books like that...

[ProudLib72]

24. Now that you mention books, there is one particular book I have always wanted to buy

but have been afraid.


Witkin: Joel Peter Witkin

[First Speaker]

30. I've seen some of his work. I don't blame you for a little fear...

...because some fear is quite rational...

[IcyPeas]

22. gas

[ProudLib72]

[hlthe2b]

25. Groceries

[Polly Hennessey]

26. Lottery tickets.

I am feeling lucky. 😃

[ProudLib72]

55. You and I think the same way

I would leave a little extra to buy some lottery tickets even though I know perfectly well it's a waste of money.

[Adsos Letter]

28. A book.

Something History related.

[chillfactor]

29. my meds

since I can't afford them right now and my health suffering.

[comradebillyboy]

31. $50? I'll get a bottle of Green Spot Irish Whiskey.

I like Scotch, Japanese and Irish whiskeys. Green spot is the best Irish I have tried.

[R B Garr]

32. Protein powder. Those jars are expensive! It's nice

to have some backups.

[zanana1]

34. Groceries. nt

[marlakay]

35. Dinner out

May not pay for whole thing but if I add a bit great time!

[TexasTowelie]

36. A bag of the chronic.

Okay, it's probably only a half bag, but something is better than nothing.

[samnsara]

37. walking to the corner mom n pop pot store...

Avoiding Homelessness

[Kaleva]

50. Rice, pinto beans, toilet paper, peanut butter, canned fruit, luncheon meat, tuna, ....

First, I'll get 2 '$5.00 off if you spend at least $25.00' coupons from the local Dollar General Store by buying a couple of items, on two separate occasions, that costs less then $1.00.

I'll then double check my inventory and come up with a shopping list. Then, I'll go to the DG website and create two shopping lists that each contain items that cost in total just a few cents over $25.00. That Saturday, when I can redeem the coupons, I'll go into the store and purchase the items on my first list and put them into the car. I'll go back in to buy the items on the 2nd list. I should have enough then left over to buy two 32 count packages of 16.9 oz bottled water.

[BadGimp]

52. I'd make an unplanned trip to the Dispensary...

[TexasBushwhacker]

54. New clothes for my new job!

Fortunately it's casual.

[ProudLib72]

57. Yeah, I'm not so sure just how casual mine is

I'm going to err on the side of business casual for now, but I can still find a lot of things that will work at the consignment shop.

[ProudLib72]

59. Well, it's raining now, so it's time to spend, spend, spend!

I could go either way. Money tends to burn a hole in my pocket, but I can also convince myself that I'm going to save for something big in the distant future.

[Sedona]

60. 2 dozen oysters & a lemon drop martini

[nocoincidences]

63. I'm retired so I would

splurge on a nice dinner for two at the Dockside Inn sitting right on the water (I live in Virginia Beach) and have broiled grouper and some nicely done shrimp with a foo foo drink like a frozen mango something or other.

[TlalocW]

64. Probably need some more balloons

To twist for whatever parties I've got coming up.

TlalocW

[silentEcho]

65. Nothing. Would go into a console of car for another time.

[Bayard]

66. I'd be off to the garden center!

[MFM008]

67. Groceries for me

And kitty food.

[NJCher]

69. I'd go buy fun stuff for the kittehs and doggos

at the animal shelter. Treats, top of the line cat or dog food.

But I would have to have someone else deliver them; otherwise, I'd walk out with another cat.

[jmowreader]

71. Diesel for a nice road trip

[littlemissmartypants]

72. I too, am a saver. But if spending is the object ...

I'd probably go for a nice meal out.

[hunter]

73. Years ago my wife and our children and I were hiking along the Eel River in Northern California...

... when we found some money in a swirling pool of water. I don't remember the exact amount, maybe sixty odd dollars.

As we were returning from our hike we gave the money to a homeless guy who was living under the bridge near where we'd parked our car.

The best money I ever found was in a big dictionary my grandmother had given me. My wife and I were frequently struggling financially when she was in graduate school and we were out of money and nearly out of food.

I was helping my wife edit a paper and I went to look up a word in the dictionary. (We had a computer, but our primitive word processor didn't have the word my wife wanted.) As I was turning the pages I discovered a $100 bill my grandmother had slipped into it years before.

We spent it on groceries.
