Money saving tip #9


Here is yet another great money saving tip, this time it's for saving money on those damn money sucking things called kids.

If you have kids, chances are you've been to a local carnival or fun night of some sort. Now at those fun nights they sell tickets, and those tickets usually cost 25 or 50 cents apiece. Then you go around and your kids try and throw a ball in a bucket, or catch a rubber duck with a net, or stand in line at a cake walk. Well as time goes on these tickets add up, especially if you have more than one kid. And in the end you've spent 20 or 30 bucks on tickets and in return you have a bunch of plastic, made in china, nickel toys that will eventually be laying around the house getting caught in the vacuum beater bar next time you clean.

Well I just happened to be in Walmart the other day doing My exclusive, high end lifestyle shopping and I walked down the isle and seen these rolls of tickets in the stationary section. A thousand tickets for $3.88. Now that's a hell-of-a-deal. Those 1000 tickets are worth 500 bucks at 50 cents a ticket. And who the hell is gonna catch you?? This is a little carnival put on by volunteer mothers at the ticket booth, and a bunch of high school kids running the games. Not very high tech. All you have to do is make sure you have the right color tickets and your in business.

And if you want to take it to another level, you could stand out in the parking lot of your local school and make a killing on selling these tickets at discount prices. Meanwhile your kids are inside having a blast for FREE!! It's another win-win situation.

And for those of you who think it's rude to take advantage of the school fundraiser. UP YOURS!!!!! The whole damn school is nothing but a fundraiser!!! Every time I turn around they're selling books, and t-shirts, and cookies, and nuts, and candy bars. JESUS H. CHRIST ... I somehow thought the purpose of school was to LEARN ... not to become salesmen!!! And the last time I looked at My property taxes, a HUGE chunk of it was for the school system. If I recall, it was about $1000.00 of MY taxes went to the school, and yet these greedy bastards always want more!!! Now if 1000 people are giving 1000 bucks in taxes each and every year ... I'd say you have enough money to put some chalk on the blackboard. What the hell do you think you are? A CHURCH??

So go out .. buy some tickets, and start taking back some of the money that YOU DESERVE!! Amen!
