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?)
Oh my! It’s like a hidden treasure chest! How fun! And yes, I’ll split any winnings you come across 🙂
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.
WOW! That is awesome! I would buy three new tickets of course!
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. 🙂
Don’t forget to get a Mega Millions ticket if it’s in your area!!!
