I was looking for a game or puzzle or something and pulled out a few from the closet for ebay or Craigslist.
The main one being Cranium. Someone gave it to me for Chsristmas in 2004, and fankly I hate the game.
Dh got annoyed at me when he saw there was a receipt taped to the bottom. !!!!!
I had to admit that I might have known it was there, but kept it around for friends who love the game. Of course, nice as that gesture was, the game has never been opened.
Dh said Target had a good return policy and he would try to take it there. He cased it out first and said the new boxes look very different and who knows if they would take it.
For whatever reason, he tried today and they gave hime $14.
Not bad...
It retails $20. I think we would be hard pressed to find $14 for it otherwise, much less with so LITTLE effort. So I am really rather pleased with this find.
Dh used the money for Easter stuff and some groceries at Target.
Anyway, he was really peeved at me when he saw the receipt. But he couldn't be peeved for long. I had actually found some nice shirts in a box (from EARLIER than 2004 - indeed). No doubt from his mom, which she buys him clothes every year that he never wears. They looked nice and simple and so I hung them up in the closet. When he saw them he asked where the hell did they come from and he never intended to wear them.
I don't think I brought up the receipt to him, though it did peeve me. Not sure why he didn't just return them then.
So when he brought it up I told him there was a good $30 or more in unreturned goods in his closet. so yeah, be careful who you point that finger at.
I think we will be double checking each other's tossed aside gifts going forward. LOL.
I also redeemed my BK coupon today. Got an entire chicken sandwhich value meal for $2.50 (saved $3.65 since the sandwhich was free). Not bad!
I saved 1/2 the sandwhich for tomorrow. Was WAY too much food. But will stretch out nicely to 2 lunches with a yogurt from home and some water from the tap.
Oh, one final thing. Dh called to redeem our free month from Verizon (by signing up for a year contract). Anyway, I don't remember the last time I called Verizon. I never call them. I leave that stuff to dh. He has called many times to turn on roaming if we went on vacation (to the east coast and such). He was the one who called to change our plan last year. HE totally changed our plan to a new one and signed a one-year contract.
So he calls today and they say they won't even talk to him because he is not on the account.
Go figure.
LOL.
So now I have to waste my time calling them. Bah. I knew we went through this ages ago but I thought we had gotten that squared away, ages ago. Figures.
Dh found $14!

Plus dh got a price match on his PS3 at 91 days. ($100 back!!!) I think the girl melted over a guy with a baby in tow though - seems to work to get what he wants - LOL. I mean, he expected more trouble, but they just gave it to him.

And why does IE not allow me to post responses anymore?? This is new.

In IE I can not reply either (never could) unless I uncheck the "subscribe" box. Is that the problem you're having?

Strange, I looked and still couldn't find the $25 rule you're referring to. Either that was an old rule or someone bent the rules. Either way, that doesn't appear to be policy and I still think you lucked out! $14 is $14 no matter how you look at it!
