$50 mad money: ideas?

[Bill Bryant]

Since I hurt my finger two months ago ($1200) and equiped a basic basement gym for my USMC recruit son ($400) I've had not one discretionary dime to spend on myself for anything since before Christmas. Today I came by $50 not already spoken for.

How should I spend it, for pure fun and as a distraction from the cares of life?

50? I would spend it on a really good meal and not think twice about it.
If not, buy some ammo and go let off some steam.

Hope your finger is healing!

Lottery Tickets and slim jims :D

good meal

[Icculus]

Hookers and beer :D J/K I say buy a knife or dinner and a bottle of wine.

ETA: Truth be told I'd hide it until you found at least another $50 unclaimed unless its just burning a hole in your pocket. I know you could go on forever with the whole "...well with just another $50 or $100 you could get this..." argument but in this day I find that $100 opens up exponentially more options than $50

My vote is that you send it to me, but that could just be me.
Second idea would be a good Porterhouse dinner for one; second person's gonna cost more than that.

Buy your wife some flowers.

[Marty916]

Ammo and a Big Mac meal for the wife.

[Jay Cunningham]

Ammo.

[Armati]

You could by a few 40's and some blunts and throw a party for you homies.

[geminidglocker]

Four Lancer mags, or a BCM Gunfighter Charging Handle. Or ammo ofcourse.

[Irish]

Buy your wife some flowers.

Or take her to dinner. Happy wife, happy life :D

[Bill Bryant]

The dinner and the flowers are already taken care of. I do that all the time, and for all the right reasons! :)

[Chris Rhines]

A massage. Concert or theater tickets for you and the wife. A good cigar and a bottle of port.

I think the Cabelas in Rapid City had .223 PMC bronze for $7 a box. I'm not sure if it still going on though.

I was there last week. I wish I'd seen that.

[SoDak]

I saw it earlier this week, but I don't know when the sale was ending.
ETA. I found the in store flyer for the month and the PMC is on the second page.

Well, I'll tell you how I would spend it. A new york stake, rare and a vodka martini.

For now, chicken wings and a vodka tonic minus the fruit will have to do.

[DaBears_85]

A bottle of Johnny Walker Red or some ammo. I'm leaning towards the Johnny Walker.

Bring yourself to lunch and the range.

[Selftest]

Dinner
Ammo
PMAGS
A good book
a good coupla DVDs you've been eyeing


Or, you can do what I do: Virtual Shopping. Go to a store (online or retail) and throw stuff you REALLY want in your cart. As you walk around the store/peruse the site, put stuff back that you don't need right this second. When you get to about $50 worth of stuff, buy, or walk out. I'm telling you man, it's liberating to do it. For me, at least. I can safely say that I usually walk out under-budget for the day, and then not feel guilty about treating myself to a nice lunch or a coupla brews at the bar.

[Cameron]

Well, if the wife is taken care of, then ammunition.

Ammo is the best way to turn money into skill, and enjoy the added benefits of recoil therapy.
