I was *supposed* to tell my sexually related stories *after* my
bargain stories~!
OK, there was a garage sale in my neighborhood. I don't like the lady
even before she wanted to charge me $5 for the slacks, but her husband
told me $2. I got 2 slacks and one jeans for $6. The slacks that I
eventually wore to Christmas Eve festivities had $56.32 in the pocket;
so I got 2 slacks and one jeans and $50.32 for stopping in.
That's one of my favorites. And then there was the 20 girls silk
sandals for $4 each - made great Christmas gifts in July. These were
brand new, and worth $22. All the girls were so spiffy in their pink,
or red or green or blue, or purple sandals.
The sandals were imported by a cute Thailand girl who I had sex with
later.
SEE how it's supposed to go? hahahahahaha

I didn't vote for Shrub either time he was up for election, and I am not a
Republican. ;-)
I don't have many baragain stories to tell, however. I did get a $1699
television set for $899 on a Black Friday special, though. So that's
something.

Hahahaha!
OK, a couple years ago, a Big Online Bookseller, never mind
which one, and they will NEVER be so negligent again anyway
(Believe me, i check!), anyway, they made what just had to be
a huge listing error during their end-of-year sale.
They listed a bunch of very expensive Bibles at 4.99 each.
And i mean, desirable in-demand editions, leather bindings. Not
just half-price for King James versions or pocket editions, but
4.99 for sixty-to-eighty-dollar leather reference and study
versions in a bunch of translations.
I pounced. I ordered 2 big cartons full, and spent the next year
selling them at markups of 200% - 400% !
And yall thought i was a sweet nice person! See? I'm
*even more evil* than AE! I'm such a profiteer, i'm practically
an Honorary Rupublucan!

So you sold $80 Bibles for $10 or $20~? I guess you never saw _Paper
Moon_~!
hahahahahaha
You shoulda gone with Chris to Black Friday for a half-price big TV,
then maybe you'd have some friends who would pay more for your
Bibles~!

Dear MisterMathematicallyAddlepated:
Because my own math skills are so pathetic, it is incumbent upon
me to jeer derisively at you for your inability to calculate the markup,
which even *I* could do!
No wonder your businesses are floundering so badly that you need
to ~bargain hunt~.
Buying an item for $5 and selling it for $10 is merely a 100%
markup. Selling it for $15 is a 200% markup. Can you take it from
there and do the 300 and 400% percent figures? If so then maybe
you could operate a business! Hahahahaha!
Funny you should mention Paper Moon -- i saw it FOUR times
and even bought the soundtrack, and it's my Life's Inspiration!
Now go drink your Nehi and eat your Coney Island.

Oooookay...
Went to a local mega market to buy an Xbox 360 wireless controller (�28).
For most of their electrical things they have these little slip cases (Like
dvd cases) with the details and barcode of the thing you
want, that you take to the checkout and then go to customer services and
pick it up.
So I went to the checkout, had the case scanned, paid my �28, went to
customer services.
Girl on desk didn't ask to see my receipt, just the slip case. (Odd.)
So, I handed it over.
She then calls over this poor old dodery man (Late 60's I would have
thought)
Who wanders away, very slowly, to get the controller for me...
I wait.
Receipt in hand, in full view, waiting for her to verify the order..
Nothing...
I wait... and wait...
The girl on the counter apologises for the wait and assures me he wont be
long...
I wait...
Eventually the wee man comes wandering back.
And hands over to the girl a full 'premium' Xbox 360 system (around �260 at
the time).
The girl STILL doesn't ask to see my receipt and puts the system in a bag
and hands it over saying, "Sorry for the wait."
Kinda stunned I automatically just take the bag...
I then do the world record time for the 100 metres "nonchalant walk back to
my car"...
I also got the original release of the Alien *Quadrilogy* DVD set (about
�60-70 IIRC) for �10 because the store made a mistake in their national
press ads and had it on a page with a load of other dvds with the hook line,
"All these DVDs only �10!" A quick chat with the manager... off I went with
them...
They were really stroppy until I mentioned that there were another 6 or 7
sets on their shelves and maybe I should go and get THOSE as well, OR they
could take them poff the shelves and say they are sold out until the
promotion is over? THAT was fun !!
( I Then had to go BACK into the store because they never put ther DVDs in
the box !!! I COULD have been VERY naughty in that case too cos they never
signed the receipt to say I *had* the items. I could have gone back in and
said the discs weren't in there again !!)
heh !

I keep MY eggs in the fridge container..
After all, the shell keeps the egg out of it !
;' )
I forgot to say actually...
I *could* have gone back to the store (once that girl had left the counter)
and asked for my controller! Cos she didn;t verify the purchase!
But I thought I'd scored enough..

OK, here's one, not too fancy, but like my "everyday" bargains:
I was browsing the grocery for a few things today, and trying to get
as much as I could since they give a number of stamps, increasing with
the dollars spent; and I want to get a new free pot and pan with 140
stamps. They sometimes give extra stamps, but the rule is "one stamp
for ever $10 spent.
I remembered the "reduced meats" and saw nice thick "top loin boneless
pork chops" with "$3 off stickers," but they were also "Buy one, Get
Two free." One package was $5.66 while two pkgs were $10.49, but all
three pkgs were the same size - the $5.66 pkg was mismarked. I was
also very hopeful of cashing in on all three $3 off stickers.
I was pretty disappointed when the lady told me I could only use one
$3 off since the other two pkgs were free. Usually they charge for the
most expensive pkg, but the scanner ended up only charging me for the
mismarked package $5.66, and the two $10.49 pkgs were both free.
I got 12 big fat juicy seasoned pork loin chops for $2.66, about $0.30
per pound, and she gave me 14 stamps for the cookware instead of the
one stamp that I deserved, since I am so goodlooking~!
With this bargain, I could feed Amy for a couple of weeks w/o ever
leaving the house, while we were making love~!
That ain't mutton~! hahahahahaha : ) Lala

You got that right~! Nothing grills better than pork chops~! *Plus*,
by cooking outside on the grill, I won't heat up the kitchen on a hot
day, thereby also saving A/C expense~! And I got the charcoal and
lighter fluid for *free* at the recycling center when some dumb
rupublucun threw them out (prob'ly) when he got a new stainless-steel
gas grill to go along with his pink-slip and unemployment check from
the bush-it administration~! **Sucker**~!
Being thrifty isn't for rupublucuns and weak women-folk who sit around
all day eating bon-bons, watching soap operas and complaining about
water retention and swollen ankles~!
