What you can get for $2.88 at Target
April 11th 2011 21:03
Fred and I continue to keep diaries of how much we find each week. That said, I still am trying to cut down on my spending. When I saw the above cat tin at Target, I ummmed and ahhhed about it for days. Finally, I took it to one of the scanners they have to check out the price. To my surprise, it was only two dollars eighty eight. And it comes with lollies. Not bad.
I made my purchase despite that week being a bad one in the money finding stakes. I only found twenty cents on the ground.
That said, a week later, I found twenty dollars on the ground. I rang Fred to rejoice. “I only found a dollar,” grunted Fred.
“It never amazes me how often I see money on the ground and people just walk past it or step on it without noticing,” I said. “I was walking in Paddington and there was a group of people in front of me and next thing you know, I noticed a twenty dollar note on the ground. You’d think one of them would have seen it.”
“People aren’t like us,” crowed Fred. “They don’t go around with their eyes scanning the ground like metal detectors. I still can’t believe that I found twenty dollars lying in front of the lift in one of the buildings I look after. Of course, once it registered, I dived for it.”
