I received 2 gift cards for Best Buy for Christmas this year, and took almost the whole week to figure out what to get with them.
As I’ve stated previously, I don’t need any CDs because I’m using allofmp3.com for all my music needs. I rent games when I feel like playing on the Xbox. I don’t usually buy DVDs from Best Buy, because I can usually get better deals through Columbia House or in the bargain bin at Wal-Mart.
I didn’t want to spend a whole lot of my own money to get something special. My first thought was to get a bunch of the Energizer E2 batteries to use on our cameras. Then I figured out that that might not be a great gift.
I went online and found the perfect thing for me. I seem to have a problem with keeping the fridge filled with soft drinks (primarily Dr. Pepper). I don’t like filling it up to only get a few of them for myself. I found a small refridgerator that will hold a six pack. It was $50, and with the shipping and tax, I didn’t have to spend more than $11 myself.
I’m a big fan of gift cards for Christmas and Birthdays. It’s a lot better than getting stuff I don’t need or want.
The funny part of this story is that I’ve decided to stop drinking so much soda for my new year’s resolution.
