Old pocketbooks

This morning, I stumbled upon an old pocketbook in my shed. “How did it get in your shed?” you may be asking.

Oh. You’re not asking.

Anyway… I opened it, dug through it and found a bit o’ treasure:
1. $50.00 gift card to Stop & Shop
2. $32.16 balance on a Home Depot gift card
3. $16.10 balance on a Lowe’s gift card
4. $25.00 gift card to Border’s
5. $10.00 Dunkin’ Donuts gift card
6. 4 pens
7. half-full bottle of Aleve
8. 3 unredeemed lottery scratch tickets totaling $3.00

Now, here’s the deal. I will be using my gift card treasures soon. If not immediately. And I’ll keep the pens. But… should I turn in the scratch tickets for the grand sum of $3.00. Or purchase $3.00-worth of new scratch tickets? And who would like to split it with me if I win big?

(Will we need the Aleve when the press hounds us for the story?)

    Whoa! It’s like you found treasure. I love discovering unused gift cards in old purses, but I’ve never found quite that many.

    I usually find a similar but much smaller treasure trove when I put my winter coat on for the first time each season. It’s so fun to rediscover that forgotten $20 bill!

    I put on a coat today that I haven’t worn in a while.

    I found a wadded up Kleenex showing signs of prior use and business cards from three jobs ago.

    Let’s switch.

    Good for you and just in time for Christmas shopping.

    I would buy more scratch tickets and if you’re looking for someone to split it with, I’ll volunteer.

    Wow! That’s a lot of treasure. Now I’m just so curious to hear the story of how it got in the shed!!!

    I would get the $3 in tickets just for fun and let the grandkids scrape them off. 🙂
