What would you do if...... (awesome content)

s15driftking · 01-05-2009, 12:35 PM

....If, someone said "I'm going to give you a 200.00 dollar gift certificate to anywhere that you can buy gift certificates"???

Cash is not an option....

Where would you realistically get a free 200.00 dollar gift certificate to?

discuss!!!

Probably Stop and Shop. That's two or three weeks groceries. Failing that, probably my local Mobil station.

Best Buy is only "BEST BUY" if you believe them, Jim.

You gotta learn how to find better prices than them.

You could get quite a lot of Boudreaux's Butt Paste for $200.00 to help with your itch.

how about a credit card-gift card. I know AMEX has these, and Im pretty sure MasterCard has them too.

This would probably be my choice, so if I wanna spend $50 here, and $75 there I can and Im not locked into one place... however, I have the option to spend all $200 at once too

Agree, I have a friend at work who uses these to bet on sports so the wife doesnt find out. I dont condone it, but it seems to work ok for him.

Ditto this as I love to spread the 'love' everywhere and support as many businesses as possible.

definitely the credit card gift card if that is an option, if not probably amazon.com, they sell everything

Well, we actually just got a generous cert to Outback Steakhouse and used it at their upscale steakhouse 'Fleming's' and had a really nice dinner. Nice thing about places like that are the multiple uses....Outback, Fleming's, Roy's and a few others. So even when it's narrowed down for 'ya, you still have a choice as to where to go! So, I'd say, sure, why not another cert like that; we had a very nice time.

But....

If you're lookin' to use it on steaks themselves, I'd go here: www.stockyards.com (best steak mailorder company around - they supply some major American steakhouses with their beef & I've used them numerous times for clients)

Or a Costco cert is pretty handy.....you can buy some great booze (or a lot of sh!tty booze!), nice wine...heck, you could put together a helluva great meal at home with $200 there!

Massage: 2 hour-long massages (no, Bob, not the Thai Massage Parlor, I don't think they give certs for that)

So there are my top 4 right now...

I would ask for a gift certificate to The Party Source. They are pretty much the only place I buy cigars from. I would buy some cigars for myself and some to send to the troops.

01-05-2009, 01:00 PM

probably gander mountain, bass pro shops/ dicks sporting goods, or my local cigar store..

if at gander mountain/bass pro/dicks I could buy the Savage rifle I wanted, and then continue my stockpile for zombie invasion, if at my cigar store... well I'd have a pretty good time.
