The Thrifty Thread!

It would be interesting to cross check threads and see how many people from this thread wasted their $$ on powerball tickets........

Oh, I did, and will. I try to be frugal, but need some entertainment. I haven't been to a move since 1981, go to amusement parks once every ten or fifteen years, haven't gone away from home overnight for ten or fifteen years. Yeah, dreams are my entertainment. I don't buy lottery tickets generally, but when the pots are so big, it's fun to dream.

Like you, rarely buy any -- in 40 yrs of "lotteries" have won ONE time beyond the $1-3. & it was only $8.50!! -- but, was going to buy one last week, just not in town. Will go today or tomorrow for a couple small jobs for my work, so I will buy one if I remember it. I have always done MUCH better on slots -- not near any of those in several yrs.

Maybe I need a vacation!?

Oh, the trip to town! I now it well! Town is only the miles away, work is on the edge of the city 12 miles away. Rarely go anywhere to "pick something up" unless it is on my way to our from work. It's not that I don't like to drive, I used to put in 80000 work miles/year, straight trips of 1000 miles were nothing to me, I just don't consider running to town for one thing a good use of my time or gas.
