tryin’ to make a meal outta 15 cents
My honey got a promotion yesterday! I wanted to do something special. Problem is, my money is a little funny and my change is a little strange. I’ve really stretched myself thin with this debt repayment thing (and with shopping for home decorations last month). Not to fear, gift cards are here!
Last Christmas (yes, ten months ago) my mom gave us a $10 gift card to a restaurant chain, which I still had in my wallet. Then, not long after that, one dark and rainy night, I was outside getting groceries out of the car when suddenly, something shiny caught my eye from the ground… Lo and behold, it was a $25 gift card to that same chain of restaurants, still attached to the cardboard it hung from in the store. Someone must have dropped it, and since someone wasn’t around… it went in my pocket.
Yesterday evening, our meal came to… drumroll please… $35.15.
All I paid for was 15 cents and the tip. And, I got to treat my achiever to the celebration dinner he deserved.
